Betting tips for Leicester vs Chelsea - 18.03.2018

The last two champions of the Premier League are measured in Walkers, at King Power Stadium, to elucidate who enters the semifinals of the FA Cup 17-18. The Leicester has not finished consolidating after the reaction after the arrival of Frenchman Claude Puel to the bench. The Foxes bet on Craig Shakespeare at the start of the course, giving continuity to the excellent work done by the former assistant of Claudio Ranieri the previous year. However, things did not start well for the Foxes, who came to occupy descent positions.

Puel took charge of the team when he had started a great winning streak just one day before with the interim Michael Appleton. Seven weeks without losing and the recovery of the demotivated Riyad Mahrez were the best of that period in which Leicester played its best games of the season.

The joy has lasted little and, like last year in Southampton, Puel has not finished the job, letting escape options of having taken 7th place and even dream of catching Arsenal in that sixth position that would be worth a European position. For the moment, after beating the bottom in The Hawthorns (1-4), the Foxes are 8th in the Premier League.

Facing this match, only Daniel Amartey is injured.


The Chelsea comes to this game after elimination in the Champions League at the hands of FC Barcelona in the last 16 of the European competition. The Blues do not go through their best, being 5th in the Premier League with 56 points in 30 days, 25 of the leader, Manchester City.

After winning the title in the English competition last season and playing the final FA Cup final (lost to his hated Arsenal), the Blues have been too irregular in this, the second season of Antonio Conte in front of the team.

The lack of harmony between the transalpine coach and the owner of the team, Roman Abramovitch, has caused a situation of instability that makes the whole London come to this meeting with the feeling of having few options to pass.

The reality is that after losing consecutively against Bournemouth (0-3) and Watford (4-1), the team recovered against West Bromwich (3-0) and relegated at Stamford Bridge to Hull City, in match of the 5th round of the FA Cup. The team fell at Old Trafford (2-1) and Etihad (1-0), broken streak against Crystal Palace (2-1).



A draw in the last league match has broken a streak of 4 consecutive victories of the Blues, who come to this game with more physical exhaustion and, above all, with the need to justify their bad season reaching at least until the semifinals. That extra pressure can help the Foxes get at least not lose in their stadium, being able to win or at least play a game of replay.
