Zenit vs Chelsea Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Expect the midweek outing to be a low scoring affair similar to the first meeting between these two sides that finished in a narrow 1-0 win for Tuchel’s Blues. Hence, betting on the fixture to have less than 2.5 goals at odds of 1.77 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
With the game not expected to be an exciting one on the attacking front and defences reckoned to be on the top, betting on the game to have less than 8.5 corners at odds of 1.44 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
Quick Rich
Ross Barkley will be in line for a starting role on the team sheet for Chelsea and the midfield man will hope to be a star turn for his side in front of the goal. Betting on Barkley to score anytime during the match at odds of 4.75 (betway) can give high returns at minimal risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Chelsea should be poised for the win in their final group game despite indications that Thomas Tuchel will field a second string XI to take on Zenit. We expect them to secure the win at odds of 1.50 (betway).
Bet During the Match
Belgian forward Romelu Lukaku should be in the to lead the line for the visitors and if he makes the starting XI, betting on the summer recruit to find the back of the net at odds of 1.72 (bet365) is a good bet to make during the match.
