The funny thing is that now they have an easy series of games - out of 5 games, the only serious rivals were Liverpool and somehow Chelsea managed to draw with them. Further games will be more intense and if Chelsea loses to the favorites and the same losers (in the moment) like Newcastle or United, then they simply will not rise from 14th place where they are now.
The team is not able to perform well even against weak opponents. Chelsea's performance in the first match of the season against Liverpool was quite good. They drew 1-1 in the match. But Chelsea's performance was poor in every subsequent match. Chelsea will play against Aston Villa in the next match. Aston Villa is not a strong team. But now they are in better form than Chelsea. Chelsea's main weakness is the poor bond between the players. This is why their performance is erratic. Chelsea's squad is strong enough. Chelsea's past record against Aston Villa is not good. Chelsea have lost their last two matches against Villa. Chelsea's chances of winning this match are also low.
At the moment, bookmakers' odds for the game against Aston Villa are as follows:
1.93 - 3.80 - 3.80
As you can see, the probability of Chelsea winning is estimated at almost 50%, which should be very strange for teams with such different value of squad and expenses. By the way, +93% in a home game looks very tempting, but when Chelsea is in business, you don’t want to take risks even for such a profit
