blackburn @ chelsea ... tomorrow

[brettlnk99]

anyone wanna help me out with some analysis here, kinda like chelsea in this spot but they have played to a bunch of draws this year at home even though they beat blackburn two times already on the road...:ughhh:

Blackburn + 1.5 - 112 is a solid pick here. Blackburn are very good and travel reasonably well. They can score goals (Mc Carthy, Pederson, Bentley) and are difficult to beat, even on the road (Arsenal game was a freak result with 4 late goals). Chelsea are going through a tough period and though they are properly favoured to win a 2-0 scoreline is unlikely.

thanks joey, would you play chelsea at 1.28? i have a feeling chelsea wins 1-nil

 

[joeyfitzclick]

1.28 = - 128 ?

 

[brettlnk99]

i think it translates into about -550...

 

[snoop]

1.28 = - 128 ?

Yeah those straight win odds kinda sucks.....

I'm rooting for Blackburn to upset Chelsea tomorrow although I think it could be a draw but hey 1-nil Blackburn will make my day.

BOL.

I took Blackburn+1.5 earlier in the week. Chelsea very rarely beat teams by more than one goal anymore. John Terry is still absent so that gives Blackburn a good chance to get a goal or two. Blackburn have been shaky defensively though, and their likely to get dominated in midfield as their missing Robbie Savage and Steven Reid. They were lucky to beat Man City 3-0, and Friedel made some great saves. Watford also caused them problems with some long ball direct football.

Got to take Blackburn +1.5 out of principle. Really good value at good odds.

I don't think odds of 1.28 on Chelsea are worth it. Too much chalk to be laying on a team that have been very inconsistent lately, and seem to be very fragile defensively. Having said all this, they'll probably go on to win 6-0. hno:

good luck with whatever you pick

Blackburn going with 3 forwards up front. They have to get something out of that Chelsea backline of Diarra, Essien, Carvalho, Cole. What a mess that is. Problem is Blackburn, don't really have an aerial threat.

 

[brettlnk99]

nice goal by drogba...

 

[rhinooooo]

Can't watch it here in the UK. They're only showing Arsenal-Tottenham live.

 

[brettlnk99]

hows that game going for you rhino?

 

[rhinooooo]

I'm only watching Arsenal-Tottenham for fun. No money on it.

Games I got money on seem to be split at half-time. Anything can happen, so keeping my hopes up. What bets did you decide to go with brettlnk99?

 

[brettlnk99]

just watching for fun...

 

[rhinooooo]

Good you are as Chelsea are 2-0 up...

 

[brettlnk99]

yep, what a strike by Lampard

 

[rhinooooo]

man, I hate that guy...

 

[brettlnk99]

important win for chelsea
