Reasons For Chelsea vs Stoke City predictions & Betting Tips
The Chelsea squad are favourites to win this match with odds of 1.21 with Unibet, with visitors Stoke City unfancied by the bookies at 16.50 with Unibet to take the three points.
A quick look at the table will explain those prices. Chelsea are third – now level with Manchester United on second – and particularly strong at home, beating Brighton 2-0 at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day.
Stoke on the other hand have the second worst away record in the Premier League and have won just once on the road all season. They currently hover just three points above the relegation zone.
The Blues ran out 4-0 winners when the two teams met at the bet365 Stadium back in September, and we are backing them to take all three points again here at 1.21 with Unibet.
Alvaro Morata scored a hat-trick that day and also opened the scoring against Brighton. We’re backing him to score first once more against Stoke on Saturday at 3.60 with bet365.
As for the correct score, we’ve decided to try and look for value by backing a 3-1 Chelsea win at 13.00 with bet365. Prices for the Blues to win and keep a clean sheet are much lower, but by backing Stoke to score you can get much more back for your money.
They have the quality with the likes of Xherdan Shaqiri and Eric Choupo-Mouting, although we don’t think it will be enough for them to take anything away from the match.
