Feb 27 Premier League Betting Tips & Predictions
Chelsea v Tottenham
The first of our Feb 27 Premier League betting tips is for Chelsea v Tottenham. The game of the night on Wednesday takes place at Stamford Bridge in front of the BT Sport cameras from 8.00pm as Chelsea look to bounce back from Sunday’s League Cup final defeat across the city at Wembley. The Blues played their part in what was a dramatic final, filled with talking points, but were eventually edged by Man City on spot-kicks after the teams were held to a 0-0 over-regulation and extra-time. It looked Chelsea’s best chance at a trophy this season, meaning a top-four finish is all they now have to aim at.
Achieving that looks to be a big ask itself and many fans suffering a hangover from Sunday appears to have thrown the towel in, but a win over their city rivals would help convince a few while pushing them back on-course. Chelsea went into the week placed down in sixth, having lost three of their last four but they needed just three points to match fourth-placed Arsenal. There’s plenty of life left in that race and we expect a few twists and turns along the way. The Chelsea win is 5/4 favourite at bet365, a draw market best price at 12/5 with Coral.
Spurs Beaten Last Time
Tottenham also enters on the back of a defeat after losing in their last Premier League start. The visitors make this trip having ended on the wrong side of an incredible 2-1 away to Burnley on Saturday afternoon, an early kick-off that ruined a fair share of accumulators before they got started. A Wood opener was matched by Kane, but it was up to Barnes to have the final say and his goal on 83 minutes swung it for a dogged Clarets who recorded their most impressive three points of the season so far, easing their relegation worries in the process.
Both managers seemed to lose their temper on the touchline during play, Mauricio Pochettino admitting to the press in his post-match interview he may have to apologise to referee Mike Dean after crossing the line. An angry outburst followed Burnley being awarded a corner when a goal kick looked the correct decision, a mistake seized upon. That defeat ended a run of wins for Tottenham and it’s surprising to see they have been marked as second-favourites to win at the bridge. Chelsea is in turmoil, so we’ll back the away win at 11/5 (Bet365).
