Chelsea will challenge Burnley away from home this round. Chelsea’s official website posted relevant game data before the game.
Before the international match, the Blues coached by Maresca were in good condition, currently ranked third in the league, and had maintained a complete victory in the past 7 early games with the same kick-off time.
Chelsea has had a strong away performance this season, winning away games against Tottenham and Nottingham Forest without conceding a single goal. Its 10 away points are second only to Arsenal and Tottenham.
In contrast, Burnley, led by Scott Parker, is in a grim situation, ranking 17th in the league. They have lost 7 games this season and are only better than Wolves.
Although Burnley's defense at home is acceptable, the historical data is extremely unfavorable to it: Chelsea has remained unbeaten in away games at Turf Moor in the Premier League era, with a record of 8 wins and 1 draw, and has won big victories in the past five away games, with scores of 4-0, 4-2, 3-0, 4-0 and 4-1 respectively. The statistics of the two teams are sharply contrasting: Chelsea has a ball possession rate of 59.3%, ranking second in the Premier League, while Burnley is at the bottom of the data, with a ball possession rate of only 38.8%.
If Chelsea can win this game again with an advantage of 3 goals or more, it will tie the historical record of consecutive away wins in England's top league.
