Chelsea put up one of their best performances of this season as they beat La Liga table giants Real Madrid 2-0 winning the Champions League semi final tie 3-1 on aggregate and setting up a final against rivals Manchester City. However, they face Manchester City in the league this week too, with both teams being in top form. Chelsea have been unbeaten in their last seven games, winning five of them, while Manchester City have won their last five games, hence expect it to be a very close match.
Our betting predictions for Manchester City vs Chelsea match are:
Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have been solid defensively being the top two teams in goals conceded in the league. Chelsea have five clean sheets in their last six games, while Manchester City have conceded only four goals in their last seven games. Hence we expect it to be a low scoring match and betting on less than 2.5 goals being scored in the match at odds of 1.70 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Sergio Aguero scored an impressive goal last week and is expected to start as it his final season at City. With him being the first choice on penalties and looking desperately for a goal to overtake Wayne Rooney’s record for most goals scored for a single club, betting on him to get a goal at odds of 2.80 (betway) gives good returns at minimal risk.
Though we expect it to be a low scoring match, the last match between these two teams had 9 corners and they have earned the most corners this season in the league. Hence betting on over 8.5 corners conceded in the match at odds of 1.57 (betway) is another safe bet
Quick Rich
Christian Pulisic has been one of the best players for Chelsea over the past few weeks and hence betting on him to get a goal at odds of 4.33 (bet365) is a good bet.
Both teams have been in top form this season and having played midweek, will be tired and hence we expect it to be a close and less intense match. We predict the final score to be Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea which at odds of 7.00 (bet365) give high returns at a small risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Though Manchester City are at the top of the table and have been the best team in the league, Chelsea have been formidable under Tuchel and also defeated City in the FA cup semi finals. Hence we expect the match to end as a draw which at odds of 3.50 (bet365) is one of the best bets of the match.
Bet During the Match
Chelsea will be looking to rest some of their first team players and have great squad depth, therefore if Ziyech starts the match as he was only used as a substitute midweek, betting on him to get an assist at odds of 6.00 (betway) is another good bet.
