The Bookmaker Ratings vs WhoScored Predictions Battle: Round 8
Gabriele’s tips:
CHELSEA v MANCHESTER CITY (in full here)
Chelsea’s season is effectively over, which means a number of things. They can experiment with youngsters, some players might be saving themselves for the Copa America and there is little pressure on them. Manchester City, on the other hand, want to wrap up a top four spot, because Manchester United are just four points behind them. I like the overs here, though over 2.5 goals doesn’t offer too much value at 1.8, so let’s pull out all the stops and go over 3.5 goals at 3.25. It’s the combination of Chelsea having no pressure and wanting to play and City’s attacking firepower, especially with De Bruyne back.
INTER v NAPOLI (in full here)
This may well be Inter’s season right here. Fail to win and it’s most likely another season without Champions League football, which will have massive financial repercussions. Napoli, with Higuain suspended, aren’t the same and they’ve probably said good-bye to the title as well. But what this adds up to, in my opinion, is a game where both sides take chances. Over 2.5 goals at 2.00 is a good play, but also Inter to win and both teams to score at 5.5 seems attractive to me.
Martin’s tip:
CHELSEA v MANCHESTER CITY
I think goals at both ends is a sure thing and, resisting the temptation to go outright on De Bruyne to haunt his former club, I’m backing Pellegrini’s men to score over 1.5 goals at 2.37. Chelsea have been underwhelming at home, drawing 6 of their last 7 league games at the Bridge, last keeping a clean sheet in the league on home turf back in November.
INTER v NAPOLI
In the last 6 meetings between these two in all competitions there has been just one first half goal scored. Instead it’s a fixture that tends to come to life after the interval, with 13 second half goals in their last 5 match-ups, so I’m backing over 1.5 goals in the second half at 2.20 with William Hill.
