Live on BTSport 1: Sun 14.15: Chelsea are 12/1 (BetVictor) to card a 3-1 FA Cup third round success at Derby on Sunday.
Chelsea could’ve asked for an easier FA Cup third round draw than a trip to Championship high-flyers Derby but while the Rams were in stunning form before Wednesday’s reverse against Wigan, it’s hard to see past the visitors, Winner.com’s 9/20 favourites.
Nevertheless, Steve McLaren’s team are the Championship’s top scorers so they’re fancied to ensure that both teams get on the scoresheet, an outcome BetVictor rate at 5/6 and that might encourage some punters to back a 2-1 victory for the Blues at 8/1 (Stan James).
In reality however, Jose Mourinho’s troops should enjoy a marginally more comfortable afternoon and BetVictor’s 12/1 about them finishing on the right side of a 3-1 scoreline at Pride Park isn’t without appeal.
Alternatively, William Hill combine an away victory with both teams finding the net at 21/10, Skybet rate the 2012 cup winners at 11/10 to lead at the end of each half and Chelsea are 5/6 (bet365) to strike inside the opening 35 minutes.
Recommended Bets:
Chelsea to win and concede – 21/10 (William Hill)
Chelsea to win 3-1 – 12/1 (BetVictor)
