Chelsea F.C. vs Leicester City F.C. Prediction 17 March 2024

Prior to the match, Chelsea defeated Newcastle 3:2 in the Premier League in spectacular style, but failed to rise above the current eleventh place, which clearly does not match the ambitions of the club. At the same time in the Cup, the Blues got three victories over Preston (4:0), Aston Villa (0:0, 3:1) and Leeds (3:2).

At the same time, Leicester were stronger than Millwall (3:2), Birmingham (3:0) and Bournemouth (1:0), which signaled their rather high level. Let us remind you that at the end of the previous campaign the Foxes unexpectedly dropped into the Championship, where they are leaders and have a good chance to get back very quickly.

As far as we’re concerned, Chelsea have solid resources to take a home cup game against a lower tier team to victory. However, given the Blues' defensive problems, we expect at least one accurate shot from Leicester as well.

Both teams to score 1.71
