Surely it can’t get any worse – Eden hazard injured, Diego Costa refusing to come within 1,000 miles of the Bridge, and a home defeat to Burnley.
That shock result blew a few online betting punts for sure but worse for Antonio Conte, his ill-disciplined side lost Gary Cahill and Cesc Fabregas to red cards. I have a feeling things may not improve this weekend for the champions, and their trip to Spurs is my first Handicap Betting pick of the week.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Chelsea (August 20, 23:00 GMT+8)
It isn’t often that the reigning champions are at longer odds than their opponents on the second match of the season but all’s not well for sure in Chelsea. Spurs had a good opening day win in Newcastle but this is the first test of whether they can play well and win at their new home. And will we see a reaction from the Blues? Time will tell but I expect there’ll be goals in this one.
I’m going for a 🌟🌟 bet on over 2.5 goals at 1.91.
Leicester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion (August 19, 22:00 GMT+8)
The Foxes can think themselves a little unlucky to lose to a late Arsenal fight back after leading 3-2. Jamie Vardy looked sharp and Craig Shakespeare will want to ensure his team gets off the mark against newly-promoted Brighton. The Seagulls lost their opener to Manchester City and will come under attack in Leicester.
A first half Leicester lead with a -0.25 handicap is at 1.94 for a 🌟🌟 bet.
Stoke City vs Arsenal (August 20, 00:30 GMT+8)
The Potters didn’t look good at Everton and there is some unrest in Stoke over how Mark Hughes has faired so far in the transfer window. Arsenal showed as much attacking flair as they did defensive frailty in their opening win, but the Gunners can be flat track bullies and I think they’ll have too much for Stoke.
At odds of 1.87, my third 🌟🌟 bet is an away win.
