Leeds United vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have now scored in 9 out of their 11 games against Tuchel. On the other hand, Leeds have conceded the 5th most goals this season. However, they are a very attacking team averaging more than 10 shots per game. We expect them it to be a high scoring match thus betting on the combination of both teams to score and total goals to be greater than 2.5 at odds of 2.15 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Mason Mount has been crucial for Chelsea and has been their best performer this season. He has the most accurate shots in his teams and having started on the bench in the last game, we expect him to start against Leeds. Therefore betting on him to take over one shot on target at odds of 2.87 (William Hill) can be a good bet to make.
Patrick Bamford has been one of the emerging stars of this season match being the 4th highest goal scorer with 13 goals to his name till now. He has contributed with 5 assists as well. Thus betting on him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 3.10 (betway) is a good bet to make.
Quick Rich
Both the teams have been an average of more than 5 corners this season. Leeds have also been earning an average of 2 cards against the big six. Thus betting on the combination of the game to have over 10.5 corners and Leeds to have over 1.5 cards at odds of 4.20 (Betway) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
We expect Leeds to give a very tough fight to Chelsea and might also be the first team to score 2 goals or win against Chelsea since Tuchel was appointed as Chelsea will be looking to rest their key players before the match against Atletico Madrid. Thus betting on the correct score to be 3-2, 2-2 or 2-3 at odds of 7.50 (betway) can be a good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams are have great attacking players and will get a lot of chances at goals. We expect Marcelo Bielsa to pull off a masterclass against the in form and unbeaten Chelsea and pull of a draw at odds of 4.00 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Olivier Giroud was rested against Liverpool and Everton and should start the match against this counter attacking Leeds Unired side. Therefore if he starts the match betting on him have over one shot on target at odds of 2.20 is a good bet to make during the match.
