The pundits back Chelsea to win, but the match is expected to be closely fought.
The Moon rules the 1st house (the house of the favourites), but already has a key role describing the events of the match, so Mars (dispositor of the Moon) steps in as main significator for Chelsea.
As the ruler of the 10th house, Jupiter (traditional ruler of Pisces) is Chelsea’s co-significator.
Aston Villa are represented by Saturn (ruler of the 7th house) and Mercury (ruler of the 4th house).
Jupiter, ruler of the 10th house, is close to the cusp of the 1st house, but the aspect is separating: What would have been a positive testimony for Chelsea is severely weakened but nevertheless shows that this match is important to Chelsea, who will go all out to win.
Saturn (lord 7) applies to conjunct the 10th house (the house of victory and success), a strong testimony for Aston Villa.
The Moon’s aspects (over the 5 degrees considered most reliable for a 90-minute football match) describe key events in the match: She applies first to square the antiscion of Mercury at 07 Capricorn 49 (lord 4, for Aston Villa) and then goes on to sextile the antiscion of Jupiter at 08 Gemini 06 (lord 10, for Chelsea). Neither of these aspects are conclusive but point to a very close result.
Overall, the chart inclines slightly in favour of Aston Villa, but promises a very close match. In charts such as these, a draw is a strong possibility.
