Both To Strike As Cup Heats Up

Ah, bollocks. The winning run was going too well, wasn't it? We flew too close to the sun by backing Manchester United to beat a team that hasn't won any of it's last seven games...

Oh well, let's bounce back with a slightly more hopeful line than we normally do. Because, y'know, gambling.

Chelsea's EFL Cup matches this season have been fairly chaotic, so to speak. League One promotion contenders Lincoln squared off with The Blues in the third round of this year's competition, and there were a whopping thirty shots involved in that clash - that sets a solid marker to refer to for this game featuring the same league's leaders.

Both of Chelsea's games in this years EFL Cup have seen the BTTS market pay out, and the fourth-round tie against Wolves was a key example as to that chaotic element these games have been carrying - the final score was 4-3 to Chelsea, despite Wolves being one of the worst Premier League teams of all time.

Cardiff are doing extraordinarily well in League One this term - they lead the rest of the league on goals, xG, big chances created and shots on target all whilst averaging 2.6 goals per game at home and sitting top of the league in general.

The onus will be on a Chelsea progression here, but as the competition heats up we can see Cardiff marking their card at least once before they go through.
