Tips:
Chelsea have a chance to make a superb double at the FA Cup final. In the semifinals, despite the resilience of the Tottenham Spurs, the Blues snatched their ticket for the final, thanks in particular to a monumental goal of Matic (4-2). Their biggest rival on the sidelines, the players of Conte will have to fight with Arsenal, which put everything on this match. Fifth in the Premier League, the Gunners will not see the Champions League next season. A huge underperformance for Giroud's teammates, who will have to heart to win to catch up a morose season. But do they have the capabilities to bring down Chelsea, untouchable in the Kingdom during this exercise?The 2 games this season saw our prognosis validated: 3-0 for the Gunners at home before the stick return to Stamford Bridge (3-1).
For Chelsea, 6 of the last 7 games ended with at least 3 goals on the scoreboard.
Of his last seven games, Chelsea have scored no fewer than 24 goals. Either more than 3 of average. The defense of the Gunners, far from being impermeable, has something to worry about.
If we can blame the Blues this season, it's their defensive inefficiency. Indeed, the players of Conte have cashed at least one goal in 14 of their last 19 exits.
To try to get fourth place, which was not the case, the Arsenal strikers put the turbo and scored 13 times in the last 5 games. Giroud, Sanchez and company will be present at this final.The goals, Chelsea and Arsenal have stacked them up in recent weeks (24 of the last 7 games for the Blues, 13 out of the last 5 for the Gunners). Chelsea's side remain rather weak in a meeting that could be surprising and above all, which could end in overtime. We prefer to play on the "more than 2.5 goals", validated in the 2 confrontations this season.
