Chelsea vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Chelsea’s games have involved more than 2 goals only once out of their last 8 matches. They have kept 6 clean sheets within that time too. Manchester United enter this game after a tiring 0-0 draw against Real Sociedad. Their defence has looked impressive too conceding only twice in their last 5 games. Thus betting on the game to have less than 2.5 goals at odds of 1.91 (WilliamHill) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Both the teams have strong wingers with Chelsea earning an average of almost 10 corners in their recent matches. Thus betting on each team to get over 3 corners at odds of 1.75 (William Hill) is a pretty good bet to make.
As said earlier, we expect this game to be a very intense match as both teams fight for Champions league qualification. Thus betting on the game to involve 4-6 bookings at odds of 2.25 (William Hill) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Luke Shaw has been the key factor for Manchester United’s impressive run this season. He is amongst the top 5 for chances created and is also known for putting some accurate balls in from set pieces. Thus betting on him to get an assist at odds of 5.50 (William Hill) can give you high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the result is always a good way to earn big. We expect it to be an exciting match but to finally end as a draw with the scoreline of 1-1 at odds of 6.00 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Both the teams have been in good form recently. Manchester United are second on the table just ahead Leicester City on goal difference. Chelsea are 4th on the table after an impressive run of games. Chelsea cannot afford to lose points as Liverpool and Everton are just 3 points behind them. Meanwhile United will believe that they can catch the league leaders Manchester City. Thus we expect this to be an evenly poised match and end as a draw at odds of 3.30 (William Hill)
Bet During the Match
If Manchester United receives a red card in the first half of the game, betting on Chelsea to win the match from thereon at current odds of 2.30 (betway) can be a good bet to make during the match.
