Two solid Premier League teams with aspirations for the top four clash as Chelsea receives Aston Villa in Stamford Bridge.
The Blues recently got a comfortable 1-2 win over Leicester as visitors, as they were winning for most of the match until a late Jordan Ayew penalty sealed the result.
The Villians keep their recent run of poor form, most recently drawing 2-2 with Crystal Palace at home in a match that they should have won.

Why bet on Chelsea?
Enzo Maresca was one of the new managers in the Premier League that generated less expectation. He was somewhat unknown and Chelsea didn’t invest too much in the summer, so the squad that had an underwhelming previous season remained almost untouched. However, the team is rocking its way to the top of the league.
Following a defeat against Liverpool in a tight match at Anfield, they are undefeated in four duels, although they split victories and draws in half. However, the ties were against Big Six teams, so we sustain that their form is positive. In addition, the team is doing pretty well in the Conference League, fulfilling the expectations for the moment.
This performance increase has been accompanied by the level rise of some figures previously questioned. Enzo Fernandez recovered the starting spot after being on the bench for a while and sorting personal issues, and he has been delivering well on both ends of the pitch. Meanwhile, Nicolas Jackson already has eight goals in all competitions with three assists and is becoming one of the most associative forwards in the Premier League.
Why bet on Aston Villa?
The Villians were the revelation from last season and, at the beginning of this one, they were accomplishing the task of not deflating, despite having European football on the way. In fact, they were doing extremely well in the Champions League, leading the table until the third matchday.
However, they are in a rut, both at local and international level, and have not won a game in all competitions since October 22, when they beat Bologna for the Champions League. This form cost them their leadership in the maximum European competition table, ejected them from the EFL Cup, and has them 8th in the league.
The main issue is the lack of consistency in attack, with neither Ollie Watkins, Jhon Duran, Leon Bailey, and more performing at their best. Since their last victory they have played seven matches and only scored five times while receiving 12 goals.
Final Betting Analysis: Chelsea vs. Aston Villa
The record is clearly in favor of the Blues. In the last 60 matches, they have 31 victories, with only 14 for the Villians and 15 draws. Now, recent history tell a different history, with two wins for Villa, one for Chelsea, and two ties.
Their most recent clash was a 2-2 draw in Birmingham for the Premier League, where the Londoners achieved a remarkable comeback after being 2-0 down at the break.
Aston Villa became a competitive and powerful team while Chelsea was in low hours but the tides are changing again. We’ll go for a 2-0 victory for the locals.
Go for a win for Chelsea at 1.72. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $72 for a total payout of $172.
