BTTS - Yes

The APWin team has examined the key betting markets and identified the most valuable opportunities.

👉 Our prediction is: Chelsea to win the 1st half

Chelsea comes into their match with Leeds with a lot going for them. Apart from being the superior side based on form and statistics, they also have the added advantage of being at home.

The odds for an outright home win on the 1X2 market are not that appealing, so we recommend taking Chelsea to win the first half to get the most value out of your bet.

Chelsea vs Leeds has all the makings of a high-scoring affair, and we anticipate this game going over 2.5 goals.

Online bookmakers have given good 1.59 odds for over 2.5 goals, and we fancy the chances of that bet paying off thanks to the tremendous attacking ability of the two teams.
