On November 8, Sunderland will play Chelsea in one of the matches of the tenth round of the English Premier League. The hosts scored only five points and are closing the standings, the aristocrats are fighting for the top 4 and clearly do not plan to leave the fourth place, which they currently occupy. Who has the best chance of getting three points today and which reliable bets to choose? - the answer is further in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Sunderland
Current form
Sunderland held a good level only at the start of the season, but then the expected decline followed. This season, in addition to the Premier League, the team is also playing in the Europa League, plus it has reached the quarterfinals of the League Cup. For such a tight schedule, you need a decent depth of composition, which is not available. As a result, we see a complete failure in the Premier League, where in nine rounds we managed to score only five points, with which the black cats occupy the last place. It seems that there are no more forces left for other tournaments, as the day before there was a defeat in the Europa League at home from Dinamo Zagreb (0:2). In the Premier League, Sunderland have scored only one point in the last five rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alderete is disqualified, Diarra, Ballard and Mandl are injured. Entering the X field. Angulo is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
Sunderland have lost four of their last five Premier League matches.
Sunderland players fouled less often than their opponents in the previous four matches.
Approximate line–up: Rufs – Hume, Mukiele, O'nien, Mandava – Jaka, Sadiki - Rigg, Le Fe, N. Angulo – Brobbi.
Chelsea
Current form
Chelsea is not competing in European competitions this season, but even with this factor in mind, it is not stable. Nevertheless, Xabi Alonso has clearly managed to stabilize the game of his players lately, as evidenced by the three wins in the previous four rounds. In each of these winning matches, the Londoners scored more than one goal, and the only misfire occurred in the derby with Tottenham (0:2). In the last round, Chelsea confidently defeated Manchester United (2-0) on their own field and is approaching the upcoming match in fourth place in the table with 16 points in the asset.
Disqualifications and injuries
Chelsea have Joao Pedro, James, Lacroix, Gittens and Hato in the infirmary. Martinez, Caicedo, Anselmino are questionable.
Interesting betting trends
In three of the last four matches, Chelsea players have been offside more often than their opponents.
In three consecutive matches involving Chelsea in the Premier League, there has been no goal exchange.
Sunderland cannot withstand a busy schedule of matches, there is not enough depth in the squad. The biggest problems for the wards of Regis Le Brice arise in the Premier League, where they lost four of the previous five matches. The day before, there was also a home defeat against Dinamo Zagreb in the Europa League. Chelsea has been quietly preparing for the upcoming game for a week, has a tangible advantage in class, there are no problems in attack throughout the season, Palmer is in excellent shape. Plus, Xabi Alonso has clearly adjusted the defensive game, the Londoners have won the last two victories in the Premier League with a dry score. We don't see how Sunderland will be able to score at least one point today against the background of decent loads.
Our prediction is that Chelsea will win by a factor of 2.00
Sunderland's defence is not renowned for its former reliability this season. In the Premier League, the Black Cats conceded 17 goals in nine rounds. Chelsea's attack is clearly doing its job, scoring more than one goal in the last three winning matches. We expect the aristocrats to open the opponent's defenses at least twice today.
The second bet is that Chelsea's individual goal total is over 1.5 with a coefficient of 1.90
Betting on corners
Matches involving Chelsea are notable for their high corner scores: in four of the previous six games, more than 11 innings were played from the corner flag. Based on this trend, we recommend another bet on a high-odds match.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 11.5 with a coefficient of 3.00
