Stamford Bridge hosts the game of the weekend with Chelsea and Tottenham featuring a thrilling London derby.
This is far from the ideal moment for the Spurs to visit the leader’s turf due to their recent elimination from the UEFA Champions League in the midweek.
Chelsea is going through an excellent moment and the team seems unbeatable at the time with huge levels of confidence. Antonio Conte is pushing his team to the limit and the recent results are a fair reward with Chelsea winning six consecutive games without conceding a single goal.
Eden Hazard and Diego Costa are two crucial players on Chelsea’s team. These two players are responsible for 17 of Chelsea’s 27 goals and before analyzing any other market across the green listed bookmakers, we have to take a look to anytime goal scorers. Both players are priced above evens, which means that we only need one of them to score to end with profit, a very interesting approach in every Chelsea’s match.
On the other hand, Tottenham is not in a good situation with the team’s supporters asking for Pochettino’s dismissal. The Spurs are not playing an attractive football with several injuries affecting the team in the last two months. Tottenham only won one of their last 9 games, a very difficult win by 3-2 against West Ham after a 1-2 disadvantage.
Danny Rose can’t help his team on this game due to suspension.
Looking now to this game in a betting perspective, Tottenham’s main goal is to avoid a defeat and for that reason, they shouldn’t take many risks in this game. Chelsea’s price is far from huge but it’s still possible to find some value on the Blues to win the game around 1.80. Adding to Chelsea’s amazing form, the team also has the advantage of not playing any European competition, which allows them to maintain a high intensity throughout the whole 90 minutes. In contrast, Tottenham is playing this game with less than 72 hours to recover after the Champions League game last Wednesday in Monaco.
Despite some steam on the odds, Chelsea to win the game at 1.75 Pinnacle is our choice for this game.
We expect at least two goals from the Blues but we can’t trust on Tottenham to score. Therefore, we prefer to stay away from the Over market. However, there is still a very interesting line to bet at Paddy Power, Chelsea to win & Over 1.5 goals at 2.10.
