Chelsea’s first game against Wolves under new coach Thomas Tuchel ended in a stalemate as their poor league form continued and they now face a inform Burnley side at Stamford Bridge on Sunday afternoon. Burnley have been impressive winning their last three matches against heavyweights like Liverpool and Aston Villa, hence we expect an interesting contest between these two sides.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Burnley match are:
Chelsea vs Burnley Town Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Burnley have averaged more than two goals scored in their last three games and Chelsea haven’t been solid in defense keeping only two clean sheets in their last four league games. Hence we suggest betting on both teams to score at odds of 2.05 (betway).
Tammy Abraham did not start the match against Wolves midweek and with only a three day break between the games we expect him to lead the attack inplace of Giroud, therefore betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 1.91 (WilliamHill) is a safe bet.
Ben Mee has been one of the best players for Burnley this season and averaged a little more than one tackle per game this season. The captain of the Burnley team will team to step up against Chelsea’s lethal attack and therefore betting on him to have over one suucessful tackle at odds of 2.25 (WilliamHill) gives you more than double returns at minimal risk.
Quick Rich
Timo Werner has been out of form and missed another penalty against Luton Town last week. Therefore Jorginho should be the first choice penalty taker for Chelsea and with Burnley’s deep defence he will also get the opportunity to take quality long range shots, hence betting on him to score anytime during the game at odds of 4.60 (WilliamHill) gives high returns.
Burnley and Chelsea have earned an average of 1.5 and 1.75 cards per league game this season and more than 4 and 6 corners per game respectively therefore betting on a combination of over 2.5 goals being scored during the match, over 9.5 corners conceded and over 3.5 cards shown at odds of 7.00 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea will be desperately looking for a win to start Tuchel’s managerial career positively, while Burnley will be looking to maintain their superb run of form, hence we expect it to be a very close match. However Chelsea should have too much quality for Burnley fourth game since the last ten days, hence we predict a Chelsea win at odds of 1.36 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If Burnley get an early lead or are dominating the game in the first half, betting on Chelsea to win from behind at odds of 8.00 (betway) gives high returns at a small risk.
