Poch’s Men On Top
Chelsea made hard work of their FA Cup quarter-final against Leicester before the break but eventually got the job done. The Blues’ only defeat in their last eight matches came in extra time against Liverpool in the final of the League Cup. They are unbeaten in the last 10 head-to-heads with Burnley and have scored an average of 2.90 goals per game.
Burnley’s win over Brentford in their last match, coupled with Nottingham Forest’s points deduction, has given them a chance to survive in the top flight. However, their away form has been poor this season. The Clarets have lost nine of their 14 matches on the road and won just two.
The Blues are a short price in the 1×2 market but we’re backing them to win this match for our first tip.
Bet 1: Chelsea to win @ 1.32 Bet9ja
Chelsea’s Shaky Defence to be Tested
The next of our Chelsea vs Burnley predictions is for both teams to score in the match. The home side deserve their status as favourites but their defensive record has been poor of late.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men have kept just one Premier League clean sheet in 2024. Throughout those seven matches, Chelsea have scored an average of 1.86 but conceded 2.0. Both teams have found the net in each of their last six.
Vincent Kompany’s side need to start picking up points with some urgency if they are to stay in this division. The Clarets are without a win in their last five Premier League matches on the road but have still threatened moving forward. Burnley have scored in seven of their last eight away league matches.
Bet 2: GG @ 1.79 Bet9ja
Second Half Spells Danger for Kompany
The next of our tips is for Chelsea to win the second half by at least a two-goal margin using the second-half handicap market. Burnley have failed to score after the break in any of their last three away matches in the league. This bet landed in all of those matches with Kompnany’s men conceding seven goals.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side beat Burnley 4-1 when the sides went head-to-head earlier in the campaign. The scores were level going into the break but Chelsea scored three unanswered goals in the second half.
The Blues have conceded just one second-half goal in their last five matches against the Clarets. Backing them -2 in the second half handicap could be enough.
Bet 3: 2nd half – Chelsea -1 handicap @ 2.86 Bet9ja
Palmer Poised to Score
Cole Palmer has been the standout player for Chelsea since making the switch from Manchester City in the summer. The youngster moved for more game time and he has certainly made the most of his increased opportunities.
Palmer has scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in his 24 appearances in the league. He has been reliable from the spot and will step up should Chelsea win another penalty here.
The attacking midfielder should get ample opportunities against a Burnley side that has the 3rd worst xGA in England’s top tier. He has found the net in his last two matches for Pochettino’s side.
Bet 4: Palmer to score @ 2.50 Bet9ja
