Chelsea vs Tottenham Football Betting Tips and Predictions

Chelsea host Tottenham in the Premier League on Saturday and we have a preview and football betting tips for the match.

On a weekend with slightly less Premier League action than usual due to the FA Cup quarter finals, one game jumps out ahead of the rest. Chelsea play host to Tottenham in a London derby at Stamford Bridge, with both sides harboring aspirations towards the top of the table.

Chelsea are big favourites coming in at a best price of 8/13 with Ladbrokes, whilst the visitors come in at a best price of 6/1 with Bet Victor. The draw is best priced at 3/1 again with Bet Victor, amongst others.

Both sides will be looking to pile on the pressure on their nearest rivals and take advantage of the fact that the majority of sides around them are not involved in Premier League action this weekend. Chelsea could move seven points clear of second place with a win, while Spurs could move to within a point of Manchester City in fourth place, all be it having played three games more.

When playing at home in the Premier League there are few teams that can match the record of Chelsea, and in particular their manager Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese has still never lost a home league game in charge of the Blues, a remarkable record which Spurs will be hard pushed to bring to an end. The north London side have perhaps had a slightly poor season given their squad and summer spending, but since Tim Sherwood took over the reins they have looked a much better side.

Emanuel Adebayor has looked like a man reborn, and has enjoyed more playing time and the responsibility of leading the line in favour of Roberto Soldado in recent weeks. He now has 11 goals in all competition this season, and can be backed at 3/1 with Coral to score anytime, which on recent form looks a good option and makes up our first football betting tip.

As for Chelsea, it has not been their strikers who have carried the main burden when it comes to finding the back of the net this season, but their wealth of talent just behind the front men who have made the more significant contribution. Andre Schurrle netted a hat trick last weekend in another London derby down at Craven Cottage against relegation candidates Fulham, and fellow midfielders such as Eden Hazard, Willian and Oscar have looked equally impressive throughout the season. Chelsea have built their success on a rock solid defence so should be fancied to get the first goal in this one, and Schurrle can be backed at 15/2 with bet365 to do just that, with Hazard at 13/2 with Bet Victor, again good options when looking for football tips on Chelsea vs Spurs.

Chelsea’s home record is there for all to see, and despite Tottenham’s recent improvements it is hard to imagine that record ending this weekend. A half time/full time of Chelsea/Chelsea ought to be another betting tip to seriously consider, and is available at 6/4 with Spreadex. Chelsea however have had a habit of leaving it to the second half to get the job done, as they did last weekend at home to Everton, so Draw/Chelsea is also something to think about, coming in at 19/5 with Bet365. Having touched on Chelsea’s strength at the back, backing them to win to nil is also something I would seriously consider, with Sky Bet offering that at a price of 7/4.

Spurs have looked a lot more threatening over the past month or so, but I cannot see them picking anything up from their trip to west London on Saturday. Mourinho will recognise the chance to heap the pressure on his rivals and gain some breathing space at the top of the pile, and is unlikely to let an opportunity like this pass him by.
