CHELSEA VS LEICESTER CITY: BETTING TIPS
CHELSEA
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: W – D – L – D – W
Chelsea approach this game knowing that despite not winning either the League Cup or FA Cup, they have successfully qualified for the Champions League. Losing two cup finals against Liverpool through a penalty shootout on both occasions is a pain that need quick healing for the Blues and their ambitious coach Thomas Tuchel.
In the League, it has been a difficult task to keep up with the relentless pace of both Manchester City and Liverpool, which left them in third place, very much as the best of the rest. Being uncompetitative in the Premier League is not be something that Thomas Tuchel would have accepted at the beginning of the season, especially after winning the Champions League and signing a world-class striker in Romelu Lukaku.
A lot remains to be decided for the next season with a lot of speculation still going around with regards to the ownership of the club. Still, the German manager remains adamant that he will not let it affect performances on the pitch.
LV BET is pricing a Chelsea win by a correct score of 2-0 at 25/4 (7.25), with Romelu Lukaku back amongst the goal, he is at 27/20 (2.35) to score anytime during the game.
Both teams to score is valued at 7/8 (1.88).
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Mendy, Rudiger, Silva, Chalobah, James, Jorginho, Kovacic, Alonso, Mount, Pulisic and Lukaku
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS: Ben Chilwell
LEICESTER CITY
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: W – W – L – L – D
Leicester City have enjoyed a decent campaign hindered by many injuries, especially to the backline. The Foxes missed out on potential silverware when Roma knocked them out in the semi-final of the UEFA Conference League.
Last time out, Leicester came from behind to beat Norwich City by 5-1, a game that the Foxes would have loved to watch as fan favourite Jamie Vardy was back amongst the goals as he bagged a brace. It will be a continuation of the good that already is present at Leicester, with a lot of trust being put in young players such as Dewsbury-Hall and Barnes.
We are backing Jamie Vardy to score anytime during the match at 9/4 (3.25), with Leicester at 12/1 (13.00) to win and over 2.5 goals to be scored in the match.
For those who anticipate a slow game with both teams not pushing for a victory, we are pricing an under 1.5 goals to be scored at 37/10 (4.70)
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Ward, Castagne, Fofana, Evans, Justin, Mendy, Maddison, Tielemans, Dewsbury-Hall, Barnes and Vardy
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS: Wilfred Ndidi
