LOST -5
Match: Chelsea vs West Ham
Pick: Chelsea -2 (Asian Handicap)
Odds: 2.42 (Betfair)
Stake: 5 units
There has been alot said of Chelsea's home advantage suddenly becoming a disadvantage this season. This should not be further from the truth as it makes no sense. The lack of home form has coincided with major injury to key players in recent weeks, for example Drogba and Joe Cole.
An interesting game was the midweek one against Cluj, where Chelsea seemed to struggle until the introduction of Drogba. Anelka really is a spoiled player and although he is a good striker, he needs the ball to placed perfectly at his feet and for defences to give him space. Drogba, on the other hand, worked to create space and chances, and got a wonderful goal. Joe Cole added some spark to the side with his incisive runs and passing. It is good that Drogba is now eligible once again, as Scolari can now consign the hopeless Kalou to the bench.
The normal handicap line for this match is around -1.75, but I reason why not take bigger odds at -2 as if Chelsea manage to get two goals past West Ham, they can surely get more.
