Chelsea vs. Man City Betting Tips
Monday’s match is set to be a cracker, and Chelsea will be going flat out to end Man City’s unbeaten run. However, City come into this match knowing that both Arsenal and Liverpool have pulled off away wins at Stamford Bridge in October and November.
This, combined with the side’s form and a victory over Germany’s top club in the Champions League this week, should give Man City all the confidence it needs to take a valuable away win.
While City looks like the club that should edge this, we’re sitting on the fence as far as the result is concerned. Our money is instead going on the Over/Under goals market. Given that Chelsea and City have scored a combined total of 21 goals in their last five matches, letting in 8 during this time, we get the feeling we’re in for a 3+ goal game.
Our Chelsea vs Man City betting tip is therefore to take a straight back bet on over 2.75 goals being scored in this match.
