The Blues are aiming to compete for the championship this season, as they have strengthened well in the offseason, rejuvenated their roster with a future perspective. Also, do not forget about the Champions League performances, where things are also going well. By the way, Chelsea went through the group stage in the European competition in one breath, because the team had already qualified for the playoffs. Although there is another meeting ahead. Let us remind you that in the last match the pensioners left no chances for the Spanish Sevilla (4:0). That evening Olivier Giroud became the author of poker. Respectively, all ovations went to the Frenchman. As for the Premier League of England, Frank Lampard’s side rounds out the top three, being just two points behind Liverpool and Tottenham. Despite this result, there is still a lot of work ahead, at least they need to stay at this level now. The match against Leeds should not be anything extraordinary, especially since the game will take place in London at Stamford Bridge, where the Blues look great.
Torino openly fails the start of the season. Marco Giampaolo’s team is on the 18th line in the table by the start of the 10th round. In nine matches the “bulls” were able to collect only six points, having lost more than half of meetings at the start. However, so far the distance from the saving 17th line is only two points, which it is quite possible to win back today. In the last round “Torino” could be once again left without points. The bulls played the first half of the home match with Sampdoria at a very high level. They came out ahead and generally controlled the course of the meeting. However, according to tradition the second half was a failure. Having conceded twice from Blucherkiati, Torino saved one point with great difficulty through efforts of Sualiho Meite. Thus, the series without victories is already three matches, in the last two of which the Torino players conceded six goals.
