Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips Pt 1

Surely set to be one of the biggest Premier League clashes of the entire season, Manchester City face off against Chelsea this Saturday in what could very well set the tone for the last couple of months of the season. With Chelsea just edging out the top of the table right now - in what is certainly the most tight race we’ve seen in recent years - it’s going to be even more interesting if it ends in anything other than a draw.

You can obviously expect Jose Mourinho to come into the fixture with his mind bent on not conceding and you sort of get the feeling that this could be one of those really important fixtures that doesn’t exactly translate into the best match up for the viewing public. 

The bookmakers firmly expect City to get the victory here but they are still rewarding at a decent price for those who really think that they have what it takes to beat out Chelsea at this crucial stage in the season. Punters will find City available at a 2.15 price tag while Chelsea are a longer shot at 3.20 as we get closer and closer to the actual kick-off of the match. 

The draw can be backed at a 3.5 margin and you expect that just might be a popular option for a number of neutral fans. Sometimes when you have two quality sides facing off against other in a match as important as this one, their offensive firepower can sometimes cancel each other out. 

That’s likely why you’ll find the lowest-priced correct score margin to be a 1-1 draw which pays out at 7.0 with most major bookmakers. The 1-0 or 2-1 margin of victory to Manchester City pays out at a 9.0 margin while Chelsea 1-0 or 2-1 pays out at 11.0 - which looks a bit tidier than the city options.
