Chelsea will play Tottenham Hotspur at Stamford Bridge in the London Derby on October 24 as part of the eighth round of the Premier League. In six of the seven previous face-to-face confrontations, the aristocrats were stronger and today they are playing the role of the favorite in the line of bookmakers. Will Xabi Alonso's team be able to score three points? We suggest you review our betting tip and choose reliable betting options
Command Analysis
Chelsea
Current form
Chelsea is playing powerfully after the break for the national team matches. The Londoners dealt with Bournemouth on their own field (5:1) and Everton on the road with a score of 2:0 without any problems. The aristocrats' attack had clearly done its job before, but now we see a reliable defensive game, and this is what was lacking before. With 13 points scored, Xabi Alonso's team is approaching the start of the eighth round in fourth place. It should be noted that Chelsea has not lost in the Premier League since the beginning of the season: two wins and a draw. They will have to play in the near future without the main goalkeeper Martinez, who broke his jaw.
Disqualifications and injuries
Martinez, James and Gittens will not play due to injuries. Emega, Chavarria and Gusteau are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In five of the previous seven matches involving Chelsea, no more than three offsides were recorded.
In three of the last five matches of the Aristocrats, more than three goals were scored.
Tottenham fans have been waiting six rounds for their team to win the Premier League this season. It wasn't until the seventh round that Spurs finally won, beating Coventry 3-1 on home turf. At the same time, in the last five matches in the Premier League, Roberto De Jerbi's team have suffered only one defeat against Aston Villa (2:3). Overall, with one victory over a rival inferior in class, it is clearly too early to say that the Spurs are ready to deal with everyone in their path. Moreover, today we have to play against Chelsea, who have won six of the last seven derbies.
Disqualifications and injuries
Bergvall, Savinho, Simons, Aubauder and Mudrik are in the infirmary. Porro and Udoji are in question. Bentancourt will serve his suspension.
Interesting betting trends
Since the beginning of the season, Tottenham have not won a single away game, taking into account all the tournaments.
Tottenham have not lost by offside in five of their last six matches.
Approximate composition: Kinski – van Hecke, Adarabioyo, van de Ven, Robertson – Gray, Tonali–Kudus, Maddison, Marmush –Solanke.
Chelsea is playing on its own field, has won six of the last seven derbies, is more confident this season and is deservedly playing in the upcoming game as the favorite in the betting line. The break for the national team matches had a positive effect on the aristocrats' game, primarily in defense: only one missed goal following two successful matches against Bournemouth and Everton.
Tottenham scored their first Premier League victory in the last round, but you definitely shouldn't overestimate the successful match against lowly Coventry. Today we have to play against Chelsea, which, under the leadership of Alonso, is constantly focused on attacking, has already scored 17 goals. We don't think Spurs are ready for such an onslaught at the moment.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win by a factor of 1.77
Xabi Alonso's team is betting on attacking football, and they have an excellent selection of performers ahead, led by Palmer. Tottenham are also capable of proving themselves in attack, as we saw in the match against Coventry. We expect that there will be an exchange of goals scored in the London derby.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 1.52
Betting on corners
Chelsea, given their constant focus on attack, scored more corners than their opponents in three of the previous four matches. Tottenham is clearly not the opponent who can prevent the aristocrats from once again achieving victory in the corners.
Prediction – Tottenham win on corners with a coefficient of 1.55
