Leicester City - Chelsea betting tips and odds

Leicester City are considerably weaker than their opponents in this round of the Premier League, and a victory for them would be quite a surprise. We wouldn’t bet on it, though – at odds of 3.85, it’s not very likely to happen.

Even with the home-field advantage as a factor, Chelsea have a better chance of winning this clash than their opponents. They can’t afford to relax just yet though – the hosts may prove a tough nut to crack after all.

Leicester offered a poor showing in the previous round against Southampton . They never recovered from a poor first half, resulting in a narrow 1:0 away loss.

The visiting team played a game at home last round against Leeds United, with pre-match betting odds favouring them heavily at around 6.10. They initially failed to press their advantage and spent a good chunk of the game in a stalemate, but eventually took the lead and won 1:0.

The Foxes have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

This match might be a good chance to go for an Under 2.5 or even Under 1.5 Goals bet. Both of Chelsea’s previous two home games lacked any excitement in front of either goal.

Leicester are placed 15th in the standings with 2 points separating them from the relegation zone. Though the season’s end is approaching, the teams placed below them will be scrambling to stay in the Premier League, and The Foxes are heading into a difficult matchup.

The Blues won the home game they played against Chelsea earlier in the season. The victory was relatively narrow as well, but they’re still expected to win this clash on Saturday by most online bookmakers.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.90 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
