Before you lock in your Aston Villa vs. Chelsea picks or English Premier League predictions, you need to see what proven soccer expert Martin Green has to say.
After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Last year, he was profitable in multiple areas on his soccer picks, including Euro qualifying (+6.30 units), the EFL Cup (+4.47), the FA Cup (+3.07) and the Champions League (+3.05) among others.
The expert knows Aston Villa are running on fumes. The hosts have had a very congested schedule and had to battle Liverpool just three days prior. They are also dealing with injuries, which makes it more difficult for manager Unai Emery to rotate his starting XI. The Villains do, however, have a stellar record at Villa Park this season and have only lost one match there this season.
Green notes that Chelsea are also going through a slump in form and are dealing with injuries of their own. One thing the Blues have going for them is that they have done very well in the head-to-head matchup, recording two wins and two draws over the last four meetings across all competition. They are also well-rested since they haven't played since last Friday at Brighton.
Now, Green has taken a close look at the English Premier League match from all sides. He is leaning Over on the goal total and has a trio of best bets, plus a full breakdown of this match. You ABSOLUTELY need to see his picks and analysis before making any selections of your own.
