Stoke - Chelsea

In a match of the 17th round of Premier League at Britannia Stadium against each other will face the teams of Stoke City and Chelsea. The odds for the game offered by the bookmaker Bet365 are as follows: 6.50 for a home win, 4.00 for a draw and 1.61 for the victory of the guests. Last season, both teams exchanged one victory at their stadiums. In the first match Stoke City took success with 3:2, but then Chelsea got revenge with a convincing 3:0 at Stamford Bridge. Referee of the game will be Neil Suorbik.

Stoke improved their slightly form. Potters ended with a draw with Crystal Palace in the last round and before that even defeated Arsenal at home with 3:2. These 4 points climbed them to the 13th place in the standings with a total of 19 points. Coach Mark Hughes will decide shortly before the match whether to rely on Bojan Krkich and Stephen Ayrland. Both have minor injuries and will go to fitness test before the game in Britain. Out of the group of potters are Marc Muniesa, Steve Sidwell, Victor Moses and Peter Odemvingi. Recovered from his injury, Bojan Krkich will partner in attack with Peter Crouch and Mame Biram Diouf.

Chelsea defeated Hull City in the last round with 2:0. Despite the success, there is a decrease in the form of Londoners lately. After the victory of Manchester City on Saturday over Crystal Palace, citizens are tied at the top with Chelsea. So the match of Britain is very important psychologically for the team of Jose Mourinho before the Christmas program in the Premier League. The good news for Mourinho is that there are not so much injured players in his team. Out are Didier Drogba, Kurt Zuma and Nathan Ake. Thibaut Courtois will return after injury and will replace Petr Cech at the door. Cesc Fabregas will return to the pitch with Nemanja Matic in the middle. The Spaniard had a break against Hull City, but now will fall into the starting eleven of Jose Mourinho for the visit of Stoke City.

Britain played pretty hard and the expectation is interesting and tense match. Both teams make effective matches against each other and our forecast is for more than 2 goals in the game. Odd for this at bet365 is 1.50. Anyway, at this moment, Stoke can`t beat Chelsea and the odd of 1.61 for "Blue victory" is quite attractive too.

Football prediction predicted by football picks for Stoke - Chelsea - we think that there will be more than 2 goals in that clash.
Security: 8/10
Odds: 1.50 at bet365
