PREMIER LEAGUE MONDAY: We preview Monday’s Premier League game between CHELSEA v BURNLEY (8pm) with a recommended BETDAQ bet and extended stats.
CHELSEA V BURNLEY
8pm It’s Easter Monday and we have Premier League action to enjoy tonight as Chelsea host Burnley. Chelsea have already had an amazing weekend and they haven’t kicked a ball yet – we’ve seen losses for Spurs, Manchester United and Arsenal leaving the door open for Chelsea to jump into third spot with a win tonight. It’s going to be desperately close in the race for a Top Four finish; but a win here would really give Chelsea a huge boost after the results at the weekend.
The market has them heavy odds on favourites with the match odds at the time of writing currently trading; Chelsea 1.26, Burnley 16.0 and the draw is 6.6. Burnley are more than likely safe (very safe) at the bottom of the Premier League as they sit in 15th after the results at the weekend, however they will need to pick up a few more points because things could still go terribly wrong, although it is around 400.0 they go down!
Apart from losing 2-0 away from home against Liverpool last Sunday, Chelsea have been in pretty good form – they needed a couple of wins as they looked like getting a bit detached in sixth position, however the others have slipped up and now the Blues are finishing the season strongly. It’s hard to see past a Chelsea win here with form advantage; they have been impressive at home recently and plenty of games have been won by two or more goals too.
Only Liverpool have been in the same league as Chelsea when it comes to conceding goals at home this season – they have only conceded ten goals in 20 games (same as Liverpool) and given the amount that they have score; we like them to cover the handicap here. They’re currently trading 1.79 -1.5 goals which looks at least ten ticks too big. Burnley are in good form; however that has been against the midtable sides and an in-form Chelsea should deal with them comfortably.
BETDAQ BEST BET:
Chelsea -1.5 goals to beat Burnley at 1.79.
