Our Tipsters Angle

Chelsea needs to win this match to show that they are serious with their title challenge. Although many key players have been injured, especially in the midfield, their main striker Lukaku returned from injury and scored a goal against Zenith in the UCL.

Leeds will need to show a strong intent against the weakened Chelsea side, and below, we provide tips for this exciting match. 

Tip 1: Wolves +3 Goals (European 3-Way Handicap)

It is clear from almost all indications that Manchester City is the favorite to win this match. However, they lost to RB Leipzig in a bizarre performance in their UCL midweek game. They face a stern test against a resilient Wolves side who will be out to make life difficult for them. 

In their last 5 matches against Wolves, they have only won once with 3+ goals, and also, Wolves has not lost this season by more than 3 goals. Due to these factors and considering fatigue on the part of Man City playing in the midweek and looking exhausted, we think it’s best to give Wolves +3 goals. 

Wolves +3 goals handicap is available at the Casumo sportsbook, and it is placed at 1.52 odds.  

Tip 2: Over 1.5 Cards

While Man City might look like the obvious pick for a win, some other betting aspects should be checked: the cards aspect. Both teams in ther last 10 games have gotten over 1.5 cards in 80% of these matches. 

Also, due to the nature of this game, we think a similar outcome is to be expected, and Casumo offers this option at an attractive odds of 1.22 for Over 1.5 cards.

Man City looks dangerous going into this fixture against Wolves, but Wolves already have impressive stats against Man City that has affected our tips for this match. All eyes will be on this first EPL weekend game as the outcome can affect how Chelsea and Liverpool approach their matches.
