Chelsea vs Burnley Prediction & Betting Tips (21 February)

Eager to qualify for the next Champions League, Chelsea are currently 5th in the Premier League and are 1 point behind 4th place. Solid since the arrival on the bench of Liam Rosenior, the Blues have not lost any of their last five championship matches, 4 wins and 1 draw. After dominating Brentford 2-0, Crystal Palace 1-3, West Ham 3-2 and Wolverhampton 1-3, they were held back at home by Leeds 2-2. Last weekend, the London team easily got the better of Hull in the FA Cup 0-4. In the Champions League, Chelsea are waiting to know the identity of their opponent in the round of 16.

The return to the elite is proving very difficult for Burnley who today occupies 19th place in the Premier League with 9 points out of the first non-relegation place. On the last day, the Clarets regained some confidence by winning on the Crystal Palace pitch 2-3. They thus ended a very bad series of 16 matches without a victory in the championship, 5 draws and 11 defeats. Last weekend, Burnley were surprised, at home, by a resident of League One 3rd division, Mansfield, in the FA Cup 1-2. 

Burnley’s build‑up has been far more turbulent. A shock home exit to Mansfield Town in the cup was followed by a spirited league win away at Crystal Palace, only for momentum to stall again with a home loss to West Ham United and a heavy defeat on the road at Sunderland. Another home game brought a more competitive display, but the points return across these fixtures has not matched the effort. Injuries to key attacking players and defensive reshuffles have forced constant adjustments, leaving Burnley searching for a settled lineup and a clear identity just when stability is most needed.

All of this feeds into the narrative around Chelsea’s strong record against Burnley in recent seasons, including a controlled away victory at Turf Moor in November 2025 and an entertaining draw at Stamford Bridge the previous campaign. With Chelsea’s attacking options in good rhythm, Burnley’s defensive confidence fragile, and the home crowd expecting a statement performance, many observers anticipate a one‑sided scoreline. Balancing recent form, squad depth, and home advantage, a logical and confident prediction for this clash is a 3:0 correct score in favour of Chelsea.
