Everton vs. Chelsea Betting Odds and Free Pick

We prepare for an interesting match in the Premier League as the always-tricky Everton receives a Chelsea team on fire.

The Toffees recently got an excellent 0-0 draw with Arsenal, adding points in a complicated match that could be key in the fight for relegation.

The Blues were comfortably beating Brentford 2-0 and leading for much of the game until a late goal by Mbeumo complicated things a little bit in injury time, leading to Marc Cucurella’s expulsion.

Everton vs. Chelsea Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Everton?

The Toffes keep going in their now-long quest to remain in the first division. Poor management, economic problems, sanctions, and other inconveniences have the team in a precarious situation sporting-wise, and the times when they were a competitive team that always fought at the top seem long gone.

Still, the team has a firm grip on its record of consecutive seasons in the English top flight, and even if they don’t look good, it seems unlikely that this is the campaign they will lose it. With 15 points, they have three more than Ipswich Town, the last team to be relegated, and the goal difference favors them with -7, contrary to the -12 of the Tractor Boys.

Still, a long and tortuous way to secure safety probably awaits the team, which has three wins, six draws, and six defeats. In their favor, they have a single loss in their last five games, but they got three draws.

Why bet on Chelsea?

The Blues are a pleasant surprise this season. However, we cannot say this regarding their squad, as they should have been fighting in the upper part of the table with a team so expensive since long ago. We said this because not many had faith in Enzo Maresca’s project, but the Italian has proven to be a wise choice. Guardiola’s pupil is managing to give a play identity to a team that has not had it in many years.

Their strong offensive display has them as the best attack in the league with 37 goals, six more than Liverpool, the second in this regard. They also have five wins in a row for the Premier and are undefeated in ten games in all competitions. Their last loss was in October for the EFL Cup.

Cole Palmer has been showing that he is no one-season wonder, and the English attacking midfielder is preparing for another exciting race for the Golden Boot and to lead the assist charts, although he is a little behind in both stats. However, with eleven goals and six assists, he has been the most determinant attacking player this season, just behind Salah.

Final Betting Analysis: Everton vs. Chelsea

In the last 68 games, there is a clear dominance for the Blues, who have 32 wins contrary to 13 for Everton. There were also 23 draws, so we can say it is a fairly common result.

However, the last five matches tell us a more balanced history, with two wins for each side and a draw. Still, their previous game was a 6-0 destruction applied by the Londoners to those from Liverpool, so the recent memories are not pleasant for the locals.

That last game featured a Cole Palmer masterclass as he dissected the Toffes’ defense with four goals.

Taking into consideration recent form and history, we’ll go for a 0-2 win for the visitors.

Go for a win for Chelsea at 1.671. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $67.1 for a total payout of $167.1.
