Our betting predictions for Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea match are:
Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea’s games have involved more than 2 goals only once out of their last 7 matches. They have kept 5 clean sheets within that time too. Atletico Madrid have conceded the second least goals amongst Europe’s top five leagues. Thus betting on the game to have less than 2.5 goals at odds of 1.55 (betway ) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Timo Werner has been a regular starter for the Chelsea side and has gained some form under Tuchel. He will get a lot of chances in the match as he will be leading Chelsea’s attack and thus betting on him to get more than 2 shots at odds of 1.80 (William hill) is a really good bet to make.
Chelsea alone have been earning an average of almost ten corners in their recent matches.Thus betting on the combination for the game to have more than 9.5 corners and Chelsea to have over 1.5 cards at odds of 3.00 (betway) can be a good bet to make.
Quick Rich
Luiz Suarez has been in the form of his life this season and is the top scorer of the Spanish league. He has scored 16 goals and is the key reason behind Atletico being at the top of the table. Thus betting on him to be the first goalscorer in the match at odds of 4.50 (betway) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the result is the best way to earn high returns. We expect this to be a very intense match but both teams have been solid defensively thus we expect the match to finally end as a draw with the scoreline of 1-1 at odds of 6.00 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams have been in decent form recently. Atletico Madrid have performed well in the Champions League under Simeone, while Tuchel had reached the Champions league final last year with PSG. The match is being played in Romania hence taking away the home advantage and thus we expect this first leg to end as a draw at odds of 3.10 (William Hill)
Bet During the Match
Cezar Azpilecueta, Chelsea’s veteran center back has started the last two matches and may be rested. However if he starts the match at center back for Chelsea, betting on him to get more than 2 tackles at odds of 2.00 (WilliamHill) can be a good bet to make during the match.
