Man City vs Chelsea Bet Builder Tips
Our Bet Builder Tips for Man City vs Chelsea features Both Teams to Score, Matheus Nunes Over 1.5 Fouls and Savinho Over 0.5 Shots On Target.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 11/4 with bet365.
Both teams have scored in six of the last eight of Man City's games and seven of the last nine of Chelsea's Premier League matches.
Chelsea and Man City have the joint-third most goals in the league and will both know the importance of winning this game for a top four finish so I expect goals from both sides.
Savinho averages 1.17 shots on target per Premier League 90 minutes he has played and has seven in his last four games (hit at least one in each of those games).
Matheus Nunes has been played at right back the last few games and is clearly struggling in that position.
He is averaging 1.3 fouls a game this season and is up against a side that have drawn the fourth most fouls in the league this season.
And if you want another betting angle, Nunes to have over 0.5 shots is rated as a 15% value bet on the brand new oddschecker+ Expected Value (EV) tool.
That's because it is 54% likely to happen according to AI but only 47% likely based off best odds. You can now search value bets across La Liga, Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 as well as the Premier League.
