Given Chelsea’s poor away form (one win in five) it’s somewhat of a surprise to see them chalked up odds on at 4/6 with Coral. This is probably due to West Ham’s even worse home form which has seen them take just four points from 15 and they haven’t won in the league since their opening day victory over Cardiff. So would you want to be backing them at 5/1 with Bet Victor for the win? Given the above, the most likely outcome seems to be the draw at 31/10 with the same firm but I will bypass the outrights and concentrate on the goals market.

Both sides have found goals hard to come by this season with the Hammers netting just five goals in as many games at home whilst Chelsea have scored a paltry four in five away fixtures. With goals seemingly at a premium it makes sense to side with under 2.5 goals at evens with Bet Victor.

On a similar note we will also bet in the half time score market. In the five respective fixtures the half time score has been 0-0 on two occasions boasting a 40% strike rate. At 21/10 with Titan Bet, in what should a tight encounter, we’ll play in this 45 minute market.

Our final bet centres on an old Hammer returning home and that is Frank Lampard. After making the switch from east to south London, Lampard has become a figure of hate for the West Ham faithful. In what proves to be an intense atmosphere, any mistimed tackle or challenge will lead to the crowd calling for him to be shown a card. With five cards so far this season and in this type of game, that can quite easily be six come Saturday evening. At a tasty 4/1 with Bet Victor, that’s one price we need to take advantage of for our final football betting tip.
