Chelsea vs Liverpool Prediction Betting Tips & Preview

Chelsea vs Liverpool Odds

Date: 04/05/25
Kick-off time: 16:30
Venue: Stamford Bridge

Stamford Bridge plays host to a pivotal Premier League showdown on Sunday 4th May at 4:30pm, with Chelsea seeking to continue their strong home form against the league leaders. Chelsea are unbeaten at home since December and still fighting for a Champions League spot, while Liverpool, sitting atop the table on 82 points, may have already sealed the title by kick-off. Enzo Maresca’s side are unbeaten at home against Big Six opposition since the opening weekend, and will look to end a four-year winless run against Liverpool. Arne Slot’s Reds, meanwhile, have suffered just one defeat on the road in the league and arrive in formidable form.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Team News

Chelsea v Liverpool Team News centres around several key players on the brink of returning or missing out. For the hosts, there’s a possibility Marc Guiu will be available, potentially boosting their attacking options. Malo Gusto, however, remains sidelined, with no definitive return date.

Liverpool’s Joe Gomez is nearing a return after a long-term hamstring issue, and could make the bench for this clash. With the title potentially already secured, rotation may feature in Arne Slot’s selection, though mainstays like Mo Salah remain central to Liverpool’s attacking threat.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Chelsea v Liverpool betting tips begin with the clear recent dominance of the Reds. Chelsea have not beaten Liverpool in over four years, with the Merseyside club winning their last three encounters, including the Carabao Cup final in February 2024. Given Liverpool’s consistency and Chelsea’s struggles against top-tier teams, a Liverpool win is strongly favoured.

Another key market lies in backing Mo Salah to score or assist. The Egyptian has either scored or assisted in all eight of Liverpool’s Premier League games against Big Six opposition this season, highlighting his reliability in high-profile fixtures.

Chelsea’s home form remains a factor – just two defeats in 17 matches at Stamford Bridge this term, with only one home game without scoring – but they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in recent matches against top sides, conceding 10 goals in six games against clubs above them.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Match Predictions

The Chelsea v Liverpool prediction sees the Reds edging this encounter due to a superior record both in the fixture and throughout the campaign. With 25 wins in 34 matches against teams below them in the table, Liverpool have shown remarkable consistency.

Chelsea’s performance against higher-placed opposition tells a different story – one win from six such matches this season, and no clean sheets recorded. The Blues have also failed to score in two of those encounters.

Form, momentum, and psychological advantage all point towards another Liverpool triumph.

Match Prediction: Liverpool to win. Bet with bet365.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Correct Score Tips & Prediction

The Chelsea v Liverpool score prediction leans towards a 2-1 win for the visitors. Liverpool average 2.4 goals per away game, while Chelsea concede an average of exactly 1 goal per home match. Combining these figures with Chelsea’s capability to score – 31 goals in 17 home games – makes a 2-1 away win a strong selection.

Chelsea’s attack remains dangerous, especially at home, but their defensive frailties against elite teams persist. Liverpool, with their title-winning edge, should have enough to see out the result.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-1 to Liverpool. Bet with bet365.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Chelsea v Liverpool Over/Under goals prediction suggests value in the Over 2.5 goals market. Liverpool’s away fixtures average over 3.5 total goals per game, while Chelsea’s home games have produced 2.8 goals per match on average.

Both sides have strong offensive records and vulnerabilities at the back. Chelsea have failed to keep a clean sheet at home against a top-six side since August, while Liverpool have conceded in 11 of their 17 away games.

Goals are expected on both sides, with attacking talent likely to flourish.

Over/Under Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Chelsea vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tip

The Chelsea v Liverpool Bet Builder tip combines several in-form markets to create a high-value selection:

Liverpool to win, Mo Salah to score or assist, and Both Teams to Score.

Mo Salah’s record in big games, Liverpool’s away form, and Chelsea’s attacking capabilities at home make this a compelling trio. Salah has contributed in every Big Six game this season, while Chelsea have failed to score just once in 17 home games.

Bet Builder Tip: Liverpool to win, Mo Salah to score or assist, and Both Teams to Score. Bet with bet365.
