Match description
Manchester United are slight favorites for this match: the visitors average 1.63 goals away, while Chelsea record 1.44 goals at home. In the last 5 matches Chelsea have scored 7 and conceded 10, equating to just 0.6 points per game, whereas Manchester have 9 goals scored, 8 conceded and 1.4 points per game over the same period. Defensively Chelsea perform better at their stadium (1.25 goals conceded per game on average and 31% clean sheets) than United away (1.63 goals conceded and only 6% clean sheets). Chelsea have higher home xG (1.69 vs 1.57 xG for United away) and a possession edge (59% vs 54%), but United are more clinical and less likely to finish a match without scoring (6% of matches vs 19% for Chelsea), which increases their scoring potential. Considering form (1.4 vs 0.6 points per game in the last 5), the higher away goals rate and the lower share of matches without a goal, I predict a Manchester United win; probabilities estimated at approximately 50% for the visitors, 25% for a draw and 25% for the hosts.
