They now start their Champions league season against Zenit at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night. Zenit too have been in amazing form and are at top of the Russian first division with five wins and two draws from seven matches. Hence, we expect a tough match between these two in form sides.
Our betting predictions for Chelsea vs Zenit match are:
Chelsea vs Zenit Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have been stable defensively with Chelsea conceding only one goal in their four league games, while Zenit conceding an average of one goal per game. Hence we expect a low scoring match as Chelsea rest some of their key attackers, and betting on less than 2.5 goals being scored at odds of 2.20 (bet365) is a safe bet giving double returns.
Werner hasn’t started the last few matches for Chelsea and will be starting at left wing or centre forward as Tuchel looks to rest Lukaku and Havertz before facing Spurs next weekend. Hence betting on Werner to score a goal at odds of 2.25 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Chelsea and Zenit have both been sound defensively and hence we expect less corners to be conceded and suggest betting on less than 9.5 corners being conceded at odds of 1.85 (betway).
Quick Rich
Betting on a combination of less than 2.5 goals being scored, both teams to not score and less than 9.5 corners berng conceded at odds of 4.50 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Though we expect it to be a close match, Chelsea have a much better quality team and therefore we expect the final scoreline to be Chelsea 1-0 Zenit at odds of 6.50 or 2-0 at odds of 5.25 (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea are the reigning champions of the Champions league and will be looking to retain their title with their excellent squad depth. Hence Chelsea are favourites to win the match at odds of 1.18 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
Lukaku has started the last three game for Chelsea and though we expect him to be rested if he starts the match so that he can leave his mark on the Champions league, betting on him to score at odds of 1.57 (bet365) is a safe bet.
