Chelsea form and stats

The story so far in the Premier League for Chelsea at their home stadium (Stamford Bridge) is 6 wins, 5 draws and 5 defeats.

Chelsea's previous fixture was also a home event, the loss 0-2 versus Real Madrid (in Champions League). The striker Havertz won the honour of being "man of the match" for Chelsea with the rating of 7.45/10. Havertz hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 3 times and had 30 successful passes (of 35 total).

Before that game, the home loss against Brighton & Hove Albion with the scoreline 1-2.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Chelsea matches with similar probabilities have ended with 5 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat (from 6 games).

Not much happening? In this team's last 19 league matches, 15 have seen less than three goals (under 2.5).

The Chelsea fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 16 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Chelsea have conceded only 14 goals.
