CHELSEA VS QPR CARLING CUP BETTING TIPS

Chelsea are the big favourites to dispose of Queen's Park Rangers in their Carling Cup clash today. Two of the richest teams in England will be facing off and Chelsea carry a 1.23 price for the victory with QPR listed at a lengthy 18.0 for the win. The draw pays out at 7.2. In terms of the correct score betting, Chelsea 2-0 appears to be the favourite outcome at 6.8 with 1-0 Chelsea paying 8.4. A 3-0 margin to Chelsea is also listed at around 8.5 or so. A 2-1 scoreline is trading at around 10.5 while a 3-1 margin is listed at around 13.5. Chelsea will likely use this as an opportunity to get some younger players out there so I don't fancy them to run up the score too much. I think 2-0 is probably about right and 2-1 isn't a bad bet either. I don't see QPR pulling off a surprise win, but they could make it a competitive match if they can notch an early goal. In terms of the goalscorers, you'll find Fabio Borini at the shortest price with a 1.72 listing. Joe Cole is expected to feature in the match and he garners a 3/1 price. Salomon Kalou is at 2.06 while Frank Lampard is well-priced at 2.02. I fancy Lampard to play a prominent role in the match should he get the start. In terms of the Half-time/Full-time betting, you can back Chelsea/Chelsea at 1.74 while Draw/Chelsea is listed at 4.6. Both teams to score pays out at 2.22 for the yes and 1.73 for the no. If Peter Cech is in goal, I think QPR may have a hard time getting past him, but if we see a debutante keeper, I think this is money in the bank.
