Leicester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Though Chelsea and Leicester City kept a clean sheet this weekend, they had not kept a clean sheet in their last three league games before that and have conceded an average of around one goal per game this season. Both teams have lethal attacks with relatively weaker defences hence betting on both teams to be on the scoresheet at odds of 1.67 (WilliamHill) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Harvey Barnes has been exceptional in the past few weeks scoring in four of Leicester’s last five matches taking his tally to six goals this season. With elite midfielders like Tielemans and Maddison creating chances, betting on him to be on the scoresheet at odds of 3.40 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match giving high returns at minimal risk.
Hakim Ziyech is one of the most crucial players of Lampard’s side, taking freeckicks and corners and has taken six shots in six matches. Harvey Barnes averages more than two shots taken per game hence betting on a combination of Ziyech and Barnes having more than two shots on target combined at odds of 2.45 (WilliamHill) gives good returns.
Quick Rich
We expect the match to be high scoring with both teams having quick and creative attacks. Chelsea have averaged more than six corners earned per game while Leicester have averaged around five corners per game hence we suggest betting on over 3.5 goals scored and over 10.5 corners conceded at odds of 5.00 (betway).
We expect the match to be close and go either way hence betting on the correct score being Chelsea 2-2 Leicester City, Chelsea 3-2 Leicester City or Chelsea 2-3 Leicester City at odds of 6.50 (betway) gives high returns at some risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams are top four contenders and are amongst the best teams in the league. Leicester have been in good form, while Chelsea have won their last two games after a string of bad performances and will hoping to build on that. Though Chelsea are favourites, we expect the match to end as a draw at odds of 3.50 (betway), which is another good bet you can make.
Bet During the Match
Tammy Abraham was rested for the match against Fulham with Giroud playing as striker and with only three days rest between the two fixtures, we expect him to start in place of the 34 year old Frenchmen. Hence if he starts the match or is subbed in early betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 2.75 (WilliamHill) is a brilliant bet.
