2025.5.4 Sunday Football Two Squad One: 024 Chelsea VS Liverpool +027 Espanyol VS Real Betis

Sunday 024 (Premier League) Chelsea vs. Liverpool

Chelsea temporarily ranked fifth with 17 wins, 9 draws, 8 losses and 60 points after 34 league rounds this season. But it should be noted that Nottingham Forest and Aston Villa behind him have 60 points, and Chelsea's qualifying for the Champions League is not stable, and striving to win in this game is the only goal. Recently, Chelsea has won three consecutive victories in various competitions and is in a better state. However, the European Union's two-line battle has caused great physical energy to the players. On the offensive end, the team mainly relies on wing breakthroughs and set pieces tactics, and Cole Palmer became the team's offensive core with 14 goals and 8 assists. However, the team's injury situation is not optimistic at present, with as many as 8 injuries, including main goalkeeper Sanchez, forward Nkunku, defender Fifana, etc., which has a great impact on the team's defense stability. Although the main full-backs Rees James and Chilville have resumed training, they have not yet confirmed whether they can make a debut. The absence of players such as Sterling has also limited the team's lineup depth.

Liverpool: After winning the championship early or being rotated, offensive and defensive performance has fluctuated

Liverpool has secured the Premier League championship this season in 34 rounds ahead of schedule, and has 25 wins, 7 draws, 2 losses and 82 points, leading second place Arsenal by 15 points, showing strong dominance. In the last round, he reversed 5-1 at home to defeat Tottenham, and his offensive firepower is still strong. The star Salah has scored 28 goals and sent 18 assists this season, and is in a hot state. The team's lineup is relatively neat, with only Connor Bradley and Joe Gomez absent due to injury, and young player Taylor Morton is in doubt. However, since he has won the championship, coach Anne Slot may rotate the squad in this game, giving marginal players more opportunities, which may have a certain impact on the team's performance on the court. In addition, Liverpool's defense has been slightly loose in recent times, conceding 4 goals in its last 3 games.

Comprehensive analysis of the results and potential impact of the match

Chelsea plays at home and fights for the qualification for the Champions League, and there is no doubt about their fighting spirit. The team has been in good shape recently and has certain highlights on the offensive end, but the serious injury problem has greatly weakened the strength of the defense line. Even if it is played at home, it is difficult to completely make up for this disadvantage. Although Liverpool may rotate the lineup, its overall strength is still above Chelsea, and the team's away winning rate is as high as 73.3%. However, rotation may bring problems such as insufficient tactical running-in and low players' fighting spirit.

Direction: Win 2-1 3-2

Sunday 027 (La Liga) Espanyol vs Real Betis

Espanyol: The pressure to relegate gradually eases, and the home resilience

Espanyol is currently ranked 13th in the La Liga. After 33 rounds of games, he has achieved a record of 10 wins, 9 draws and 14 losses, with a score of 39 points. Compared with the early stages of the season, the team's pressure to relegate has been alleviated. In terms of recent performance, the team's form has been ups and downs, with 4 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses in the last 10 games. On the offensive end, Espanyol averages 1.5 goals per game, and its offensive firepower is relatively average. Veteran Ayosey performed well this season and contributed 11 goals to the team, which is an important reliance on the team's offense. On the defensive end, the team averaged 1.6 goals conceded, and their defensive performance was average. Judging from the lineup situation, the team currently has no obvious injuries, and the main lineup is basically complete, which provides personnel support for the team to make full efforts in this game. When playing at home, Espanyol showed strong resilience, with 7 wins, 6 draws and 3 losses at home this season, with 27 points at home, ranking 10th at home.

Real Betis: He is qualified for the European War, but has hidden worries

Real Betis ranks 6th in La Liga with 54 points, and is sprinting for the European War qualification. The team has strong overall strength and outstanding offensive performance, with an average of 2.2 goals per game. The midfield core Isco is in a hot state and has contributed 7 goals and 5 assists this season, playing a key role in the team's offensive organization. However, the team's away record is relatively average, with a away winning rate of only 33% (5 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in 16 games). In recent form, Real Betis has achieved 7 wins, 2 draws and 1 loss in his last 10 games, showing a good competitive state. However, the team faces certain personnel problems. Defender Diego Lorent will be absent for a long time due to a hamstring injury, midfielder Mark Roca was injured, forward Izequel Villa had a hamstring injury, midfielder William Carvalho and forward Cucho Hernandez were suspended. The lack of these personnel may have a certain impact on the team's tactical arrangement and on-field performance.

Comprehensive analysis: Where is the tendency of the win-loss balance?

Judging from the historical confrontation records, Real Betis has the upper hand. The two teams have played against each other in the past 10 times, and Espanyol has 1 win, 5 draws and 4 losses. But Espanyol has a certain ability to compete with Real Betis at home, with 1 win, 2 draws and 1 loss at home in the last 4 times, winning 1-0 at home last season.

All-round considerations, although Real Betis is better in overall strength and recent state, the inconsolidation of personnel has added variables to it. The Spaniards play at home, with a neat lineup and a certain resistance. However, Real Betis is full of fighting spirit for the European war, and the team's offensive firepower is also stronger. Real Betis is more likely to win away in this game
