Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Morecambe match are:
Chelsea vs Morecambe Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Though Morecambe are underdogs in the match they have been in superb form and scored in each game in the last four months. Chelsea haven’t been solid defensively and might rest some of their starting players however will still score loads of goals against a weak Morecambe team. Hence betting on both teams to score at odds of 3.00 (betway) is a good bet having minimal risk.
We expect most of Chelsea’s first team to be rested hence Callum Hudson Odoi is expected to start the match. Therefore with elite creators like Ziyech, Havertz and Mount around him and against a weak defence, we suggest betting on him to score at odds of 2.10 (WilliamHill).
We expect both teams to score and Chelsea to loads of goals against an inexperienced league two side and hence betting on over 3.5 goals scored in the match at odds of 1.73 (WilliamHill) is a bet you should not miss out on. Chelsea will be looking to score heavily to gain confidence before they face Fulham next week and get back in form in the league too.
Quick Rich
One of the best way earn high returns on your bet is betting on the correct score and we expect Chelsea to dominate the game, hence suggesting betting on an exact score of Chelsea 4-1 at odds of 15.00 (WilliamHill) or 3-1 at odds of 13.00 (WilliamHill).
Christian Pulisic is expected to start the match and lead Chelsea’s attack, therefore another good bet is on a combination of both teams to score, Chelsea to win and Pulisic to score at odds of 5.75 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea need to win the game as defeat against a league two side would surely be the shock of the season and also lead to Lampard being sacked as Chelsea’s performances have been extremely poor over the last month even after spending 250 million over the summer transfer window. However, Chelsea should have too much quality for Morecambe and will give their all to get back to winning ways. Hence we predict a Chelsea win at odds of 1.04 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Faustino Ajnorin, one of Chelsea youth academy’s most promising midfielders may be in the starting lineup and if he starts the match or is substituted in early, betting on a combination of him and Abraham to score at odds of 3.20 (betway) is a brilliant bet giving decent returns at minimal risk.
Chelsea overall form: LWLDL
Morecambe FC overall form: LWWWW
