Chelsea - Middlesbrough: Forecast and Analysis (May 08, 2017)
Chelsea - Middlesbrough: Forecast and Analysis (May 08, 2017)Chelsea hosts Middlesbrough in a 36th round of the English Premier League. The match is on May 7th at Stamford Bridge and will begin at 22:00 GMT.
On Friday from London Stadium came the wonderful news that Tottenham will not add any points to its asset this round after the defeat by West Ham from 0: 1. That's how Chelsea's Antonio Conte team can increase their lead to seven points in front of Middlesbrough's Spurs.
In the last round Chelsea beat Everton as a guest with 3: 0 and confidently stepped on the title. Londoners have won 12 of their last 13 home games in the Premier League, scoring 37 goals.
Middlesbrough returned to the Premier League, but looked again at the Championship. The guests are six points from the rescue zone after winning a point against Manchester City in the last round. They even deserved to win the meeting, but luck was not on their side. On his last visit, Middlesbrough lost to Bournemouth 0: 4 and extended his series without success in 17 games. They lost 80% of their previous ten matches away from Riverside and I do not see how they can oppose Chelsea leader.
I expect the hosts to take things in their own hands and lead to the rest, and then to maintain or increase their advance, ultimately winning the three points, which will bring them closer to the title.
