Our betting predictions for Sevilla vs Chelsea match are:
Sevilla vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Though Sevilla have won their last five games they haven’t scored many goals this season, averaging less than 1.5 goals per match in all competitions. Chelsea have been solid defensively and conceded only one goal in four matches in the Champions league with Edouard Mendy having the highest number of clean sheets in Europe’s top five leagues. Therefore we suggest betting on him to keep a clean sheet at odds of 3.20(betway) which gives good returns at minimal risk.
• Lampard will be looking to rest some of his starters as they face a tough challenge against Leeds next weekend, therefore we expect Christian Pulisic to start the match in place of Werner or Ziyech and thus Pulisic being on the scoresheet at odds of 3.30(betway) is a good bet.
• The reverse fixture between these two teams ended in goalless draw on the first matchday of the Champions league. We expect this match to be low scoring too therefore a safe bet is total goals scored during the match being less than 2.5 at odds of 1.85(betway).
Quick Rich
• Ivan Rakitic has settled well in the Sevilla side after joining from Barcelona this season and has been their star performer in the past few weeks scoring two goals and averaging one shot on target in the Champions league. Therefore we suggest betting on him to have atleast one shot on target at odds of 3.40(WilliamHill).
• Chelsea should have too much quality for Sevilla with stars like Havertz, Giroud and Pulisic in their substitutes. Sevilla have been in decent form and will put up a tough fight hence betting on the correct score to be Chelsea 1-0 Sevilla (WilliamHill) or Chelsea 2-0 Sevilla (WilliamHill).
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea and Sevilla have performed well in the past few weeks and as they have qualified for the knockout stage already, we expect both teams to play deeper. However with Chelsea’s bench quality they are still favourites to win the game at odds of 2.50(betway) and it is a bet you should not miss out on.
Bet During the Match
Last week, Olivier Giroud stated that he needed more playing time if he wanted to be a part of the national team. He also got the winner against Rennes last week and fired Chelsea into the last sixteen, therefore if he start in place of Tammy Abraham, you can bet on him to be on the scoresheet at odds of 3.10(betway).
