Current Premier League champions Chelsea have been playing some sensational football of late, rattling in fifteen goals in four games across three separate competitions. Today’s OddsDigger Chelsea vs Manchester City preview comes just after the Blues put four past Mark Hughes’ Stoke City at the weekend. Summer signing Alvaro Morata showed his class by netting a brilliant hattrick and the Spanish striker’s inclusion on Saturday is bound to have an effect on today’s football odds. Conte’s men can go level with City on points if they can beat them this weekend.

In the week’s leading up to our free Chelsea vs Manchester City betting tips, Pep Guardiola’s Citizens have been blowing teams away, playing a mesmerizing brand of flowing football in the process. They have scored an almost unbelievable twenty-two goals in their last five fixtures. That same fixture list has been kind to the Sky Blues, however, and the only team they have played of note in the Premier League has been Liverpool, while their opponents have already faced Spurs and Arsenal. The Citizens offer goal threats from numerous different angles – Leroy Sane already has three goals, Gabriel Jesus has four goals, Raheem Sterling already has five goals and Sergio Aguero has collected six.

Chelsea vs Manchester City Prediction and Betting Advice

Both of our analysed sides almost come with a guarantee of goals and edge of the seat action these days, a fact that drives us towards this first pick for our free Chelsea vs Manchester City bets. Six of Chelsea’s eight matches in 2017/18 have had over 2.5 goals and Manchester City mirror that statistic exactly themselves. The Sky Blues’ most recent six outings have ended with over 2.5 goals scored. In all five meetings between these clubs in league and cup over the past two seasons, each game had over 2.5 goals. Those same matches averaged just under four goals per ninety minutes. We can look forward to plenty more penalty area drama on Saturday evening between two of the Premiership’s most prolific sets of players. Our research shows that 10Bet beat their competition for value on this bet.

While Guardiola has deservedly enjoyed the plaudits lately for his team’s rip-roaring displays, his tactical inflexibility and lack of pragmatism can sometimes cost him wins in big matches. His refusal to adapt his tactics to more difficult opposition plays a major part in our football predictions today. Antonio Conte is almost entirely the opposite in terms of how he sets up his teams. The Italian’s set-up is perfectly structured to exploit the overzealous attacking of City, that’s why we are tipping a home win in our Chelsea vs Manchester City predictions. Last season, Guardiola saw his team lose at Tottenham, Leicester, Liverpool, Everton, and Chelsea primarily because he didn’t adjust his heavily attack-minded team against trickier opponents. We recommend using Bet-at-home to back our outright prediction here. They have an amazing range of odds and offers for the game.
