Betting on chaos
This matchup historically is a difficult one to bet on because one of two things tend to happen. The first is a slow, low-scoring, cagey affair where both sides are too timid to put together a real attack. The second thing and the option I think we see, is an absolute slugfest with both sides swinging for goals and letting the game go off the rails. The last two times we’ve seen these sides clash with Spurs at home, we’ve seen BTTS hit, Over 2.5 goals hit, Over 3,5 goals hit and Over 4.5 goals hit. There were seven goals when these teams met last season in Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. With Spurs flying high and Chelsea struggling to find consistency, I’m loving goals in this matchup.
Chelsea’s atrocious defense
I’ve already stated I like goals in this fixture, but the big reason I like them is due to the underperforming defense by the visitors. Chelsea are loaded with injuries and while that’s out of their control, their defense and midfield are non-existent right now. Chelsea just played an EFL match against Wolves earlier this week. Wolves are currently the worst team in the entirety of the Premier League, and they scored three goals on Chelsea. Chelsea have now conceded in four of their last five matches which includes Sunderland, Ajax, Wolves and Liverpool. This team was created on the foundation of certain players that are no longer able to play, and Chelsea is floundering trying to find consistency. They’re always good enough for a goal, but it should take multiple to make up for their poor backline.
