Burnley vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea are back to their best defensive form as they have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 games. On the other hand, Burnley being the defensive team as they are, have scored the second least goals in the league and therefore betting on Chelsea to keep a clean sheet at odds of 1.80 (betway) is a really good bet to make.
We expect this to be a low scoring match as the attacks of both teams are not really in form and it is their defensive performances that has got them points in the last few games. Thus betting on the game to have less than 2.5 goals at odds of 1.75 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Wout Weghorst will lead the attack for Burnley as he has been a key difference maker in attack for his team. Betting on him to get 2 or more shots at odds of 1.80 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Timo Werner put up a superb display as he clinched 1 goal and 2 assists in his team’s 3-2 win over Luton Town. He will be expected to be rewarded with a start against Burnley and betting on him to get on the scoresheet at odds of 3.20 (betway) can give high returns at minimal risk.
Reece James is finally back from injury. He was benched midweek and will be expected to start in this match. Betting on him to get an assist at odds of 4.50 (betway) can prove to be a really good bet.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea lie a whopping 15 points behind the league leaders in third position. They do have a couple of extra games and if they manage to maintain a winning streak from here on, there is a good chance that the title challenge goes down till the wire. They do have an easy set of fixtures too starting with Burnley and we thus expect them to win this match at odds of 1.50. (bet 365).
Bet During the Match
Chelsea made a comeback twice against Luton Town and if they go down against Burnley too, betting on them to come from behind and win the match at current odds of 9.00 (bet 365) can be a good bet.
