It’s an exciting time to wager when Chelsea are involved. Whether it’s crypto sports betting or just a casual bet with your friend in the local café, now is the time to do it.
Why? Because Chelsea are perhaps the most uncertain team in world football right now, and uncertainty makes it hard for bookies, let alone your friends.
A great illustration of the team’s incredible unpredictability was yesterday’s game against Leicester in the FA Cup. We ended up winning 4-2, but that final score doesn’t come close to telling the full story of the ups-and-downs of the match as a whole.
At times we looked great, at other times we were a joke. We scored some truly brilliant goals, and an absolutely comic own goal. It was hard to predict what he’d do minute to minute, let alone predict us game to game. We had a player boo-ed off the pitch and a manager told he doesn’t know what he’s doing in the middle of a game which eventually saw us head to Wembley.
It’s a confusing time, and it’s hard to know where we’ll end this season. We’ll have to beat Manchester City to make the FA Cup final, and we need a really strong run in the league to make it to Europe. Both of those things feel possible, but it feels equally likely that Pep Guardiola’s team dump us out easily, and we slip up a few more times in our remaining league fixtures, leaving us with a disappointing end to a season which even at this late stage has plenty of potential.
We could well imagine heading into the summer with Mauricio Pochettino looking pretty comfy in his job, with players bedding in and a sense of improvement through the season as a whole. But it would only take a few bad results (and we’ve had no shortage of those already this season) to give the whole thing a very different very flavour.
Despite all the frustrating moments, you can’t complain too much. All we want as fans is to have something to play for in the final months of the season, and there’s no doubt we’ve got that now. The Premier League is full of teams too far from Europe and too far from relegation to have too much to play for, while it still feels like our season could end up being an 8/10 or 3/10 depending on the results of just these last few games.
