Chelsea FC vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Joao Cancelo has been a regular starter for Pep in both left and right back positions justifying his heavy price tag. With Chelsea having one of the best attacks in the league, we expect City to keep a tight defence and hence betting on Cancelo to have over 2 tackles at odds of 1.73 (WilliamHill) is one of the safest bets of the match.
• Giroud started the last match for Chelsea and with another intense match within three days we expect Tammy Abraham to start the match. Abraham has been lethal in front of goal this season and with Ziyech returning he will provided with loads of quality chances, hence we suggest betting on him to score at odds of 2.50 (betway) giving high returns at minimal risk.
• Both teams have one of the best attacks in Europe with relatively weaker defence. With the likes of Aguero, De bruyne, Sterling, Werner, Abraham, Pulisic and Ziyech on the field we expect it to be a high scoring match therefore betting on over 2.5 goals scored during the match at odds of 1.70 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Quick Rich
• Kevin De Bruyne has performed exceptionally against his old club, Chelsea, and has scored in his last two games against them. With Manchester City missing a consistent goal scorer this season being on De Bruyne to score from outside the penalty area at odds of 7.00 (WilliamHill) gives high returns.
• Betting on the exact score is one of the best ways to earn high returns, and City are favourites to win the match as Chelsea has been in abysmal form. We predict the exact score to be Chelsea 1-2 Manchester City at odds of 8.50 (betway) or 1-3 at odds of 13.00 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Pep should outclass Lampard’s tactics in this Sunday night fixture and though Chelsea will give a tough fight, we expect Manchester City to win the game as their midweek fixture was cancelled, they will be well rested for the game. Hence betting on a Manchester City win at odds of 2.30 (betway) gives good returns.
Bet During the Match
If Chelsea take an early lead, betting on Manchester City to win the game from behind at current odds of 8.50 (betway) gives brilliant returns and is a safe bet ad City have a better overall team and substitutes.
