Preview
Chelsea and Watford face at Stamford Bridge, in a match for the 18th round of the Premier League. The only recent head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 04‑01‑2015, and ended in a (3‑0) win by Chelsea. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 15th and 7th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 7th best team in home matches and the 5th best in away matches.

Analysis Chelsea

The home team is currently in the 15th position of the league, with 18 points won, after 5 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Leicester City, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Sunderland, by (3‑1). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, since they have won 5 points in away matches, with 8 goals scored and 15 conceded, against 13 points won at their stadium, with 13 goals scored and 12 conceded. For the league, Chelsea won 13 points out of 27 possible points, after 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses in the last 9 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (4 out of 9 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 17 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 8 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The team is in bad shape with one of the worst seasons of their history, although they will try to reverse the bad moment in this game. It won't be easy, tough.

Confirmed Lineup: Thibaut Courtois, Branislav Ivanović, César Azpilicueta, Gary Cahill, John Terry, Nemanja Matić, Oscar, Willian, Diego Costa, Pedro.
Coach: F. Fàbregas i Soler, M. Pochettino Trossero.

In the last match, they won in a home match against Liverpool, by (3‑0). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, with 9 goals scored and 6 conceded at home, against 12 goals scored and 10 conceded in away matches. In the last 8 away league matches Watford has a record of 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 losses, so they have won 14 points out of 24 possible.
