Burnley - Chelsea betting tips and odds

Upsets do happen in football and it’s fair to say a home win here would be a definition of the case. Burnley can count themselves lucky if they avoid getting completely destroyed by Chelsea in this match.

It’s hard to see this match going any other way than an away win. Priced at 1.51 with most bookies, this match is a fairly one-sided affair, and Burnley will need to give quite the performance if they want to get any points out of it.

A difficult home game is behind Burnley. They were never the favourites to claim a positive result but it’s fair to say they were not expecting a heavy defeat either especially after the tied 45 minutes. However, they suffered an inexplicable drop in form in the second half which resulted in a Leicester City beating.

And Under 2.5 Goals market may be something to consider for this match – all 5 of Burnley’s latest home outings ended up confirming it.

The clock is ticking on Burnley who remain locked in the relegation battle. With 28 rounds behind us already, the hosts will have their work cut out for them in the Premier League. At 8.00 betting odds offered at online bookmakers on home win, the numbers are a warning sign for the The Clarets fans.

The current Premier League campaign is slowly entering its final stages. After 28 games, Chelsea sit in 3rd just 16 points behind the leaders. With a game against The Clarets ahead of them this Saturday, it’s fair to assume the visitors will earn their much-needed three points with no big trouble.

We already saw these two squads meet this season, but the results were inconclusive. The Blues wasted the opportunity home-field advantage game them, but they’re still considered the favourites in this match.

The visitors may be expected to win, but they’ll have to do so without Ben Chilwell, Reece James, Mateo Kovačić, Hakim Ziyech. This tips the scales slightly in the hosts’ favour, but not by much.

While it’s risky as far as betting predictions go, a Draw/Away bet in the Half Time/Full Time market is the best place to find betting value in this match. Simply put, the 4.50 odds outweigh the relatively small implied probability.
