Bet on a Draw
It’s been a season to forget for Manchester City. The reigning four time league champions have not challenged Liverpool for the title this season and face a difficult task to just earn a top four finish and qualify for next season’s Champions League. They have struggled to win games against the better sides in the league this season particularly due to the absence of the influential Rodri for large portions of the campaign. Chelsea have looked impressive for the majority of this season under Enzo Maresca though their form has started to drop in recent times. They now face a tough challenge to earn a top four finish this season even though they are currently fourth.
This will be a tight game and in the end, it has the makings of a draw.
Bet on the Game to End 1-1
For both teams, defence is the weakness and attack is the strength. This is why we anticipate that this game will be a scoring draw. Due to the absence of Rodri, City appears to be struggling to link-up play between their defence and attack. Chelsea meanwhile are still an inexperienced and youthful unit. They are no longer solely reliant on Cole Palmer which is a step in the right direction but they will have to improve their defending mainly if they want to challenge for major silverware going forward. The experienced City attacking players are likely to pose problems for the Chelsea defenders in this game.
Bet on Erling Haaland to Score
City will not win the league this season but Haaland has a good chance of winning the golden boot which can at least potentially give them some consolation at the end of the season. The Norway international has scored 17 goals so far this season and trails the league’s top scorer Mohamed Salah by just one. He is likely to find the back of the net in this game.
