Chelsea vs Aston Villa Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea have scored a goal in each of their games this season while Aston Villa have scored in five of the six games they have played, therefore betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.95 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Timo Werner has not started in the last four matches and will be leading the attack as Tuchel looks to rest Lukaku before facing Manchester City next week. Hence betting on Werner to get a goal at odds of 2.62 (bet365) is another safe bet.
Chelsea have earned the fourth most corners in the league at an average of six per game while Aston Villa have earned five corners per game this season. Therefore betting on over 10 corners being conceded at odds of 1.90 (betway) is a good bet.
Quick Rich
Though Chelsea have been dominant since Tuchels appointment, we expect a close match between these two sides., however Chelsea should be able to get the win. We suggest betting on the correct score 3-0, 3-1 or 3-2 at odds of 4.75 (betway).
Chelsea have been dominant in the second half scoring six of their seven goals in it. Aston Villa too scored three goals in the second half in their last match, therefore betting on more than 2.5 goals being scored in the second half at odds of 4.00 (bet365) gives good returns at minimal risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea have one of the best squad depths in Europe with players like Werner, Ziyech, Chilwell and Saul on the bench in their last match. Therefore they should be able to see off a strong Aston Villa side at odds of 1.44 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If Lukaku starts the match as the striker, he will also be the first choice penalty taker and hence betting on him to score at odds of 1.83 (betway) is a safe bet.
