Chelsea - Leeds United betting tips and odds

The odds are definitely leaning in the hosts’ favour, but this match is far from a done deal. Judging by odds alone, Leeds United may yet be able to walk away with a draw or even a surprise victory – though it’s still a longshot.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic The Peacocks fans are expecting them to triumph at Chelsea this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Although The Blues went with into their previous Premier League outing at Tottenham Hotspur , hopes were high due to a null score at half-time. Those hopes came crashing down as the second half progressed, though, as the match ended in a devastating 2:0 loss.

Leeds are here on the back of a $RESULT victory against Southampton achieved thanks to a late-game decider. Despite playing at home, the odds of them winning were set at 4.00 with top online bookmakers, so the 3 points are more than welcome.

Looking strictly at the home side, this match can be a solid choice for a bet like the Under 5 Goals market. Their previous two games at Stamford Bridge ended up confirming even Under 5 Goals.

The previous two Premier League clashes The Peacocks played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

Leeds are hovering in the lower parts of the league table, currently at number 17th. Their only goal right now is to build up more space between them and the relegation zone as we enter the latter parts of the season. Chelsea are hardly a good opportunity to earn points, however, considering the 5.75 odds on the visitors winning.

Though a home win is priced at 1.65, the hosts lost their most recent game against The Whites. The two teams played earlier in the season, though The Blues were the visitors and the goal difference was quite narrow.

Edouard Mendy, César Azpilicueta, Armando Broja will all have to sit this one out due to injuries, leaving the home team’s lineup in a weakened state. They still have an advantage according to betting prices, but it may not be as notable as it would have been otherwise.

Considering the teams’ respective records and histories, and Under 2.5 Goals bet here is a shoo-in. The returns are not exactly jaw-dropping, but that’s to be expected from a bet as safe as this one.
