Chelsea and Manchester City both put up impressive performances as they beat Porto and Dortmund respectively to advance to the semi finals of the Champions League. However, they will barely have any time to celebrate as they face each other in the semis of the FA cup on Saturday at Wembley. These two teams have been the best in England since a few months now and thus this will be one of the most interesting matches of the season.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Manchester City match are:
Chelsea vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Manchester City and Chelsea are the best two defensive teams in England and maybe even Europe currently. Their consistent runs of clean sheets are the main reason all the teams have struggled to win against them. We thus expect this to be a low scoring match and betting on the total goals to be under 2.5 at odds of 1.80 (bet 365) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Manchester city earned an impressive 11 corners against Dortmund in their last match. Chelsea’s two games against Porto involved a total of 28 corners which is a huge number. Thus betting on the game to have more than 9.5 corners at odds of 1.90 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
Both teams will struggle to get past each other’s defence and struggle to score especially in the first half. The teams will start slow and not take many risks and thus betting on the first half scoreline to end as 0-0 at odds of 2.75 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Manchester City’s captain Kevin De Bruyne is one of the best players in the world currently and was unlucky not to score against Dortmund despite having 5 shots. Betting on him to score in this game at odds of 3.40
Both teams have been in amazing form and will find it tough to score. Although Manchester City have a brilliant squad of players, Chelsea will give a tough fight and atleast manage to take the match to extra time. However, we expect City to still scrape through and thus betting on City to qualify after winning in extra time at odds of 9.50 (bet 365) can be a good bet to make.
Win/Lose/Draw
Thomas Tuchel has turned Chelsea’s season around and they now lie in 5th place in the Premier League. Qualifying for the Champions league still remains a big challenge for them and winning the Fa cup may give them an easy path towards that. However, Manchester City are having one of their best seasons currently and will give all that they can to win the quadruple. Thus, we expect Manchester City to win at odds of 1.80. (betway)
Bet During the Match
If Chelsea score a goal in the first half, Manchester city will make many attacking substitutes in the second half and thus betting on them to qualify at current odds of 1.37 (betway) can be a good bet to make during the match.
