Chelsea v Marseille
Chelsea have been playing well during the first few weeks of the new season, and this is the result of their good preparation during the summer. However, after a while some decline in form is inevitable.
But I don't think that time has come quite yet for Chelsea, and I think they will be relatively easy winners on home soil against a Marseille side that is still struggling to find its form.
I have to confess that I don't really like playing the handicap markets, even when you have a clear favourite. That's because, sometimes, the favourite can become a bit too self-indulgent during the game once they are certain they have the result guaranteed.
I'd prefer to look at the goals markets, although there is a case to be made for backing Chelsea in a handicap.
Vasily's tips:
Back Over 2.5 goals at [1.68]
Back Chelsea (-1.5) in the Asian Handicap at [2.18]
