- Man City is a -1.5-goal favorite against Chelsea.
- Chelsea earned a point vs. City at Stamford Bridge and enter this game off a road win.
- Bet this Same Game Parlay for Saturdayโs fixture.
Before two of Englandโs most decorated clubs meet on Saturday, Iโm here to provide a Man City vs. Chelsea prediction.ย
In terms of their domestic form, both teams arrive fresh off wins.ย
City captured a 2-0 win over Everton last weekend and followed it with a 3-1 road win in the Champions League on Tuesday.ย
As for Chelsea, they came from behind to capture a 3-1 road win over Crystal Palace on Monday.ย
Hereโs a look at the EPL odds and my best bet for Saturdayโs match.ย
EPL Betting Odds – Man City vs. Chelsea
- Man City Moneyline: -275
- Chelsea Moneyline: +700
- Draw Moneyline: +425
- Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (+110/-160)
EPL Prediction – Man City vs. Chelsea
Same Game Parlay: Man City Moneyline & Man City Each Half Over 0.5 (-105)
I really worry about this Chelsea defense as they prepare to face one of the Premier Leagueโs top attacks.ย
Although theyโre coming off a road win against Crystal Palace in which they surrendered only 0.46 post shot expected goals, thatโs an outlying performance.ย
In their previous road match against Liverpool, Chelsea surrendered at least one post-shot xG in both halves while allowing Liverpool to create 3.73 total psxG, per fotmob.com.ย
Sample the six fixtures preceding the Palace match and bettors will find Chelsea surrendered 14.55 non-penalty post shot expected goals.ย
In those games, they allowed four teams to surpass two non-penalty psxGโs and all six to surpass 1.6.ย
Thatโs going to put them in trouble against Man City, who notched 2.54 non-penalty psxGโs in the reverse fixture against Stamford Bridge.ย
From there, we move on to the Manchester City moneyline.ย
This is equal parts a play on City as it is a fade of Chelsea, who is 1-2 SU as a road underdog this season.ย
The lone win? At Tottenham in a match where Spurs saw two players sent off before the halftime whistle.ย
Finally, EPL home favorites playing two straight home matches are 64% straight up since the beginning of last season.ย
Back this parlay at -115 or better come Saturday.ย
