Best Football Betting Tips Today: Leicester v Chelsea
A good run of form has seen Leicester firmly lodge themselves into the Premier League title race
On Tuesday night they have a chance to make it three straight league wins following victories over Southampton and Newcastle.
The Foxes are W4 D1 L4 this season at the King Power and they are unbeaten in their last two there.
Leicester have scored at least two goals in six of their last eight matches, so they should have a good chance at three points.
The Foxes are at 15/8 to get a win which would see them move eight points clear of the Blues.
Each of Leicester’s last three wins on home soil have been with a clean sheet.
Will Chelsea be able to break them?
The Blues shuttered to a 1-0 win against 10-men Fulham on the weekend.
But they needed that one as it was Chelsea’s second win in their last seven games only (D1 L4).
The Blues are 7/5 to get the away win.
Chelsea are W 4 D2 L3 this season out on the road and they have had lost three in a row before that win at Fulham on Saturday.
The Blues started the season in fine scoring form.
But only once in their last seven league fixtures have Chelsea managed to score more than one goal in a game.
They look a shaky proposition at the King Power
Leicester to win at 15/8

Football Betting Picks Today: West Ham v West Brom
West Ham are on the up at the moment having won their last two league fixtures and going unbeaten in four.
The Irons have claimed back to back 1-0 victories over Everton and Burnley to move up the table.
The home win in this fixture is 4/7 odds-on as West Ham are facing the struggling West Brom on Tuesday.
It has only been one loss for West Ham in their last seven league games (W3 D3) so they are in good shape.
They are undefeated in three on home soil as well (W1 D2).
The notable thing about their recent run of form is that they have not conceded in any of their last three games.
So the visiting West Brom who have generally struggled for goals may find this a tough task.
But the Baggies did get a great three points for themselves on the weekend
That was in a 3-2 away win at Wolves which few perhaps would have seen coming.
That was only the second win of the season for West Brom,
But still, they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five games. It’s taken them 18 matches two produce to wins.
Are they that likely as the 5/1 underdogs to suddenly make it back to back league successes?
West Ham to win at 4/7

Football Betting Tips for Today: Derby v Bournemouth
Next for football betting for today, we are heading to the Championship for Derby v Bournemouth.
The Rams now have Wayne Rooney in charge after he hung up his playing boots to concentrate only on the managerial tasks at Pride Park.
His first game in charge ended in a 1-0 home loss against Rotherham on the weekend.
Derby are 5/2 odds to come up with an immediate response by claiming three points against Bournemouth.
With three defeats in their last four games now, Derby are second from bottom in the Championship.
They are the lowest-scoring team in the second tier at the Mone with 14 goals only scored in 23 games.
The Rams are only W1 D4 L7 at Pride Park in this campaign as well and have dropped their last two home fixtures.
Derby have failed to score in five of their last seven league games which means this looks like an uphill task against Bournemouth.
The Cherries are third in the Championship at the moment.
There was a surprise home defeat for them on the weekend as they went down 1-0 at the Vitality against Luton.
Bournemouth have conceded at under a goal per game on average this season.
With only one loss in their last seven away games, should be the pick.
Bournemouth to win at 23/20

Online Betting Football Tip: Rotherham v Stoke
Rotherham got themselves a welcome success on the weekend with a 1-0 win against Derby.
That pulled them level on points with the Rams in the relegation zone, so that was a huge test of character passed.
Can the Millers build on that, however? For this midweek home game, they are at 19/10 for the win.
While they are underdogs, it is a W2 D2 record that Rotherham have taken in their last four home games against the Potters.
Stoke are not in winning form either.
The Potters have failed to win any of their last six in all competitions.
In the Championship, Stoke have claimed one victory in their last eight fixtures (D5 L2).
So they aren’t running hot. But Stoke are undefeated in seven road games, drawing the last four.
The visitors have to be good for a point.
Draw at 11/5

Online Betting Football Tip: Watford v Barnsley
The Hornets continue to have a very contrasting season with their home and away form.
It has been a brilliant W9 D2 L1 record at Vicarage Road that they have taken after a 2-0 home success over Huddersfield there on the weekend.
Watford have produced a W3 D1 return in their last four home games. They are the 8/11 odds-on favourites for Tuesday.
They have conceded at only a rate of 0.75 goals per home game this season, averaging 1.8 goals per game there themselves.
Watford have won their last three against Barnsley.
The Tykes arrive as the 4/1 underdogs but they are a top-ten side in the Championship as well.
But they have fallen to back to back league defeats against strong opponents in Norwich and Swansea.
It has been a mixed bag of W2 L2 in their last four away games, but with a failure to score in three of their last five games, we think they come up short.
Watford to win at 8/11
