Chelsea vs Arsenal – Betting Tip and Prediction:

This season, Arsenal has already played 8 matches against the other better teams in England (Man City, Man Utd, Tottenham, Chelsea e Liverpool), and they have only won once.

Regarding the teams’ head-to-head record in Stamford Bridge, Arsenal has only won 2 of the last 16 trips to Chelsea’s ground.

Playing at home, the Blues have every condition to win this first leg, because they are right now a stronger team, collectively more consistent.

They have only conceded goals in 1 of their last 5 matches, which contrasts with the poor defensive moment of form that the Gunners are on, recording 12 goals conceded on their last 5 matches.
