Aston Villa - Chelsea predictions

With 2.29 on home win, the ground is level and three points are everyone’s to take. However, we’d still recommend backing Aston Villa who should end up victorious in the end against Chelsea.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Villans on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Villans iare coming off from a purposeful 3:1 triumph against AFC Bournemouth . The last time they played at Villa Park, they had issues taking control in the early game but established clear dominance in the second half.

The away team are here on the back of a painful 5:0 loss at Arsenal, but it’s hard to blame them too much. After all, they were facing both insurmountably long odds and a home-field disadvantage, so not many believed they ever had a real shot.

The home team gives their opponents plenty of reasons to worry about the upcoming fixture. They’re on something of a streak with 5 goals scored over the last 3 matches.

The away team’s defensive record is slipping. They’ve conceded more than 5 times in their previous 3 Premier League engagements. This, at least, points to this match as a decent choice for something like an Over 5 Goals bet.

The hosts are just 11 point behind the current table leaders. However, they’re heading into an uncertain match, and there’s almost no time left in the season. Still, they’ll likely be going to the Champions League.

With several tied games behind them, the teams will be looking to switch things up to get the upper hand. Several matches between Aston Villa and The Blues ended in a draw this season alone, so it’s clear they’ll need to get creative – especially the hosts.

The Blues will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Ben Chilwell, Malo Gusto, C. Ugochukwu, Robert Sanchez will all be unable to perform.

Decent offers are in short supply for this match, so our best tip is to risk an HT/FT bet and go for Draw/Home. It’s quite a bold offer to take at odds of 2.28, but the betting value makes it interesting.
