Chelsea have won three straight; Leeds have won three of their last five. Form gives little away going into this EFL Cup tie.
A concern for Leeds: they're giving up chances worth 1.8 a game over their last 5 (vs 1.4 for the season). The defence is creaking.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Chelsea create chances worth 1.4 a game (and give up chances worth 1.4), leaving them 0.0 a game on the balance. Leeds create 1.4 (giving up 1.4) for a balance of +0.1. The chance quality on both sides is remarkably similar. There's nothing to split these two underneath. A worry for Chelsea: the chances they're creating lately are worth 1.0 a game, well below their 1.4 season figure. The attacking output has dipped. Leeds's defence is giving up chances. Worth 1.8 a game over their last 5 vs 1.4 for the season. They're becoming easier to break down.
Chelsea average 1.8 goals per game and Leeds manage 1.3. Combined that's just 3.0. We make it only 1% for three or more, so the lean is towards a lower-scoring game.
Leeds prefer to keep things tight (0.9 conceded per game) and nick a goal on the break. Patience will be key for Chelsea against this setup.
In the last 10 meetings: Chelsea have won 6, Leeds 2, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 3.0 goals per game. 7 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Chelsea 1-0 Leeds, Chelsea 2-2 Leeds, Leeds 3-1 Chelsea, Chelsea 3-2 Leeds.
