SWANSEA, UK – Andre Villas-Boas’ Chelsea side travel to South Wales this evening to face Swansea City in the Premier League. Chelsea start the match as favourites to secure three crucial points, and can currently be backed to do so at a market best of 17/20 (bet £20 to make £17 profit) with William Hill. For those punters anticipating a victory for Brendan Rodgers’ side, however, the Swans are on offer at 4/1 with Skybet and Blue Square, whilst the draw is available at 13/5 with Bet365.
Chelsea are currently fourth in the Premier League, five points behind Harry Redknapp’s Tottenham and five points ahead of Arsene Wenger’s Arsenal. Villas-Boas’ side have only lost once in their last ten Premiership outings, but at the same time have only won two in their last seven. Chelsea will be determined to pick up the maximum points in today’s game, but in order to do so they must outmanouvre Swansea, who have one of the most miserly defensive records at home in the whole league. Villas-Boas will most likely opt for Fernando Torres once again in attack, who hasn’t found the net for the last 16 matches in all competitions, alongside Juan Mata and Daniel Sturridge. Swansea have lost their last two consecutive games, with away defeats against Bolton and Sunderland, but sealed a brilliant 3-2 victory against Arsenal in their last home game, a result which they will hope to reproduce this evening. the stage is set for an intriguing encounter.
In the over/under betting the top price on over 2.5 goals being scored is 21/20 with Bet365, whilst under 2.5 goals is available at 19/20 with Ladbrokes. For those punters who think that this fixture will end in a defensive stalemate, with no goals conceded by either side, under 0.5 goals can be backed at 13/5 with Bet365.
Despite his poor scoring record in a Chelsea shirt so far this season, Fernando Torres starts this evening’s game as the favourite open the scoring at a market best of 11/2 with Coral. Torres’ team mate Frank Lampard, who has been far more prolific this season with 11 goals in all competitions, is also thought likely to be the first name on the score sheet at 13/2 with Boylesports, whilst French winger Flourent Malouda is on offer at a longer 10/1 with Blue Square. Swansea’s most threatening player, on the other hand, is Danny Graham, who scored the winner against Arsenal on 15th January. Graham can be backed to break the deadlock at 8/1 with Bet365.
Chelsea are quoted at best odds of 15/8 with Stan James to win the match after leading at half time, whilst draw/Chelsea is on offer at 7/2 with Boylesports. Draw/Swansea, on the other hand, is available at 10/1 with Ladbrokes, whilst those punters who think that Swansea will fight back to win the game after trailing at half time can back Chelsea/Swansea at odds as long as 55/1 with Coral.
