Chelsea vs Leicester Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Chelsea vs Leicester betting tips and predictions for this weekend’s opening Premier League fixture with the best odds for our first goalscorer tip and BTTS win bet.

 

Leicester have been in awful form away from home in the Premier League, can they put that right at Chelsea? Having lost heavily to Liverpool and Manchester United on the road, a trip to Stamford Bridge isn’t ideal for the Foxes – our betting preview includes tips.

 

Chelsea vs Leicester Predictions

 

Leicester’s title defence has been poor so far, especially on the road. All of their points this season have come at home, having lost three out of three away. Their last two matches on the road have been 4-1 defeats, so they won’t be looking forward to this trip. The Blues may have lost their last home game, but they bounced back with a win at Hull. They should build on that result with another victory this weekend. The Foxes have been losing at half-time and full-time in their three away league games so far, so Chelsea to be ahead at the end of both halves seems like a smart bet for our first Chelsea vs Leicester prediction at 29/20 with Betfair.

Score and Win Tips

Leicester may not have won away from home this season, but they’ve scored in every match on their travels. They’ve hit consolation goals in every league away game, while they put three past Club Brugge in the Champions League. Given that the Blues have conceded a goal per game on average in their three games at Stamford Bridge this term, we’re backing the Foxes to score in a defeat for the second Chelsea vs Leicester betting tip. Chelsea to win and both teams to score here is 21/10 with Bet Victor.
