Selections and Research
Chelsea to Win (3/10)
Research: Chelsea’s Premier League pedigree, strong form in international competitions, and superior squad depth make them overwhelming favourites. With 12 wins and just two losses all season, plus a 2.16 PPG, Chelsea is expected to control the match against an LAFC side with only one win in their recent fixtures. The gulf in quality, especially defensively, should see Chelsea come out on top.
Over 2.5 Goals (8/15)
Research: Both teams are involved in high-scoring matches. Chelsea’s fixtures average 2.79 goals, while LAFC’s games average a huge 4.13 goals. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 58% of Chelsea’s matches and 75% of LAFC’s fixtures. With attacking talent on both sides and LAFC’s defensive frailties, expect a lively contest with goals.
Both Teams to Score – No (10/11)
Research: Chelsea’s defensive record (0.95 goals conceded per match, 32% clean sheets) is impressive, and they have the structure to shut out LAFC, who have failed to score in 13% of their recent fixtures. Against top-tier opposition, LAFC’s attack tends to falter, while Chelsea’s defence is well-drilled for knockout football. The stats point to Chelsea scoring multiple goals while likely keeping a clean sheet.
