LiontipsChelsea - Everton: betting tip (cf 3.60) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Chelsea alternates between successful streaks and unsuccessful stretches throughout the season. At the moment, the aristocrats are in a clear decline. In the last four matches, taking into account all the tournaments, they have not won a single victory. Only a draw with Arsenal (0-0) can be added to the asset. Then there were unsuccessful away meetings with Leeds - a 1:3 defeat and with Bournemouth (0:0). Last week, we also failed to score points against Atalanta (1-2) in the Champions League.
Recent failures, just two points scored in three rounds, led to Chelsea leaving the top 4 in the Premier League. By the start of Round 16, the Blues are in fifth place, one point behind Crystal Palace. It will be very difficult to compete for the first position with Arsenal, given the handicap of eight points. Today, there is no doubt that hopes are linked with a return to Stamford Bridge. Enzo Maresca's men have suffered only two defeats in the Premier League since the start of the season.
In the Champions League, Chelsea was betting on finishing in the top 8, but the defeat by Atalanta made this task much more difficult. After six rounds, the aristocrats have 10 points and 13th place. The gap from the top eight is two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Colville, Lavia, Delap and Essugo will not play due to injuries. Caicedo will serve his suspension. Entering the Fofana field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- In four of the last five matches, Chelsea have not lost in the first half.
- In five of the last seven Premier League matches, the Aristocrats have not scored more than one goal.
- Chelsea have not lost at home in 15 of their previous 17 Premier League matches.
Approximate composition: Sanchez – Gusteau, Chalobah, Adarabioyo, Cucurella – Fernandez, James – Neto, Palmer, Garnacho – Joao Pedro.
Current form
Everton have managed to improve significantly over the course of the season, scoring 14 points in the previous six rounds and giving their fans hope for a place in European competitions. By the upcoming match, David Moyes' men are in seventh position with 24 points, just one point behind Chelsea, who are fifth. Accordingly, a victory today will allow you to bypass the Londoners in the table. However, it is not so easy to achieve success, because in the two previous face-to-face matches at Stamford Bridge, defeats were recorded.
Undoubtedly, all of Everton's recent successes are due to reliable defensive actions: they managed to win four previous victories with a dry score. The only failure was in the home match against Newcastle (1-4). In the last round, the Toffees played Nottingham Forest at home. Already in the first half, they created a two-goal lead, after the break they scored another goal and won 3-0. Note that in that meeting Everton practically did not allow their opponent to create anything at their own goal: only three shots on target were scored by the foresters.
Despite all the successes, toffees are not stable on a visit. They have already had away matches against top rivals and failed to score a single point: defeats from Liverpool (1:2) and Manchester City (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Brantwaite, Rehl and Coleman are in the Everton infirmary.
Interesting betting trends
- In six of Everton's eight previous Premier League matches, at least one of the opponents did not score goals.
- In three of the last five matches, the Toffees have won in the first half.
- Everton have not scored more than one goal in their last five Premier League away games.
Approximate line–up: Pickford – O'Brien, Keen, Tarkovsky, Mikolenko – Gaye, Garner- Ndiaye, Dewsbury Hall, Grealish–Barry.

1.67Tip and bets
Chelsea has a four-match unbeaten streak, taking into account all tournaments. Another failure will lead to the fact that the Londoners will lose even their place in the top 5. Obviously, today, against such a background, the aristocrats will have no problems with motivation. Everton are having their best stretch of the season, having won in four of the previous five rounds. The key to the Toffees' success is a reliable defensive game and a clear implementation of the created chances. Is this enough to take away points from pensioners? We are inclined to believe that this will not be enough. Nevertheless, Everton does not have a tangible margin of safety and resources to keep such a high level at bay. Plus, they didn't show anything for the season on the road against top opponents who were noticeably superior in class, and they managed to lose to both Liverpool and Manchester City. We believe that the hosts will be able to break their unsuccessful streak today.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win by a factor of 1.70
Bet on the total
Everton will habitually play number two, relying on defense and counterattacks. For Chelsea, it is now important to just take three points, it is unlikely that the hosts will seek to defeat the opponent at any cost. In three of the four previous face-to-face confrontations, more than two goals were not scored, and we do not expect high results today.
The second bet is a total of less than 2.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.94
A bet on the exact difference in the bill
Chelsea have gone four games without a win and today it's important to just take three points. Everton is known for its reliable defensive play, due to which it is able to avoid a major defeat. We expect the hosts to win a difficult battle with a one-goal advantage.
Prediction – Chelsea win with a one-goal advantage with a coefficient of 3.60
