Reasons For Chelsea vs Stoke City Predictions & Betting Tips
The Chelsea Squad is the favourites for this match with odds of 1.62 with Unibet, and will be expected to take the three points despite facing a tough opponent in Stoke City.
However, the bet365 Stadium has always been a notoriously tough ground to visit and Chelsea’s record there isn’t the best. The Blues have only won on 3 of their last 8 visits there.
Last season they were 2-1 winners in Antonio Conte’s first trip to the Potteries, with Gary Cahill winning it late on. We are backing the same scoreline this time around at 9.0 with bet365.
Stoke are the underdog, and although a win at 6.0 with bet365 looks a bit of a long shot, a draw could be a more realistic option at 4.15 with Unibet. As mentioned before, they managed a 2-2 draw with Manchester United in their last home match.
Chelsea have a big Champions League match away at Atletico Madrid to come on Wednesday night, but will want to get back on the winning track in the league before switching their attention.
Conte was boosted by the return of Eden Hazard to the starting line-up in the 5-1 midweek win over Nottingham Forest, and the big question now is whether he will be fit enough to keep his place on Saturday.
Hazard is 5.6 with Unibet to score the first goal, or alternatively, Michy Batshuayi looks a good bet at 5.0 with Unibet. He scored a hat-trick against Forest, but again it’s not clear whether he’ll keep his place in the XI.

Chelsea Form
Chelsea have been in good form, although will be disappointed to have only managed a draw at home to Arsenal on Sunday. However, they have won 5 of their last 6 and beat Nottingham Forest 5-1 on Wednesday night.
Chelsea Form: WDWWWW
Stoke City Form
Stoke’s form has been pretty poor recently, the Potters now winless in their last 4 matches. However, they did manage a respectable 2-2 draw with Manchester United in their last home match and will provide tough opposition.
Stoke City Form: LLDDWW
Stoke City vs Chelsea Head To Head (H2H)
Chelsea did the double over Stoke last season in their march to the Premier League title, but they haven’t always had it their own way against the Potters. Stoke knocked Chelsea out of the League Cup and also beat them in the Premier League the previous year. This is the 100th competitive meeting between the two sides.
