Leicester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Leicester City have scored in seven of their last eight games while Chelsea have scored in each of their last eight games. Hence betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.90 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Lukaku is back in training and will be looking to get back on the scoresheet after missing the last month due to injury. Leicester have been poor defensively this season conceding almost two goals per game this season therefore betting on Lukaku to score at odds of 2.40 (betway) is another safe bet.
Chelsea and Leicester have earned the least amount of cards this season in the league with averaging one card per game. Hence we suggest betting on under 3.5 cards being earned in the match at odds of 2.00 (bet365).
Quick Rich
Mason Mount has been Chelsea’s key player over the last two season and will be starting the match as Werner is still recovering from his injury. Hence betting on him to have over two shots on target at odds of 3.50 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Chelsea have been in top form winning seven of their last eight games while Leicester have been without a win in their last three games. We predict Chelsea to win with the final scoreline being 2-1 at odds of 9.50 (bet365).
Win/Lose/Draw
With Liverpool and Manchester City only three points behind them, Chelsea will be looking to maintain their first position in the league against an out of form Leicester side. Hence betting on Chelsea to win at odds of 1.75 (betway) is a safe bet.
Bet During the Match
Harvey Barnes is back in form and has two goals in his last two starts therefore if he starts the match betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 1.72 (betway) is a good bet.
