Chelsea vs Tottenham Betting Tips

Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur currently look like Premier League title contenders although it should be borne in mind that we’re at an early stage of the season and the two London sides have plenty to prove if they’re going to last the distance.
We have an intriguing encounter at Stamford Bridge on Sunday where we’ll see the two teams clash in an encounter which has all kinds of sub-plots, with Jose Mourinho going up against his former player Frank Lampard not to mention his former club where he enjoyed so much success.
Should Chelsea Be Betting Favourites to Win?
Our prediction is that Chelsea are too short in the betting to win this London derby considering that bet365 have the home side at odds of 2.10 and Lampard will surely tread carefully in this game considering how dangerous Spurs are proving on the break.
There have been instances where Lampard has been ultra-defensive against certain opponents this term, with the Blues boss putting lots of players behind the ball against Liverpool and it was the same story at Old Trafford where the teams played out a goalless draw on that occasion.
Tottenham Might Also Park the Bus
We’re surprised that the bookies are offering odds against about two goals or less being scored and our betting tip is Under 2.5 Goals for this clash, while we really wouldn’t be surprised if the game ended goalless.
Mourinho will want to make sure that Tottenham don’t lose the game and he might deploy similar tactics to the one against Manchester City where the team sat on the haunches and looked to make the most of the possession that came their way.
We think that both managers will be happy to build on a clean sheet achieved in the previous game and we’ll go for a low-scoring game at Stamford Bridge.
BETTING TIP
Under 2.5 Goals @ 2.10 (11/10) with bet365
