Matchweek 27 of the Premier League has arrived as Burnley travels to take on Chelsea in a game that sees fifth place take on 19th.
Chelsea are -450 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +600. Fancy a Burnley upset? The Clarets are +1000 to pick up three points.
Chelsea vs. Burnley Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Goalscorer Props” tab. Burnley are staring down relegation, and barring a drastic turnaround it looks like the Championship is inevitable for next season. Chelsea will be licking their chops for this contest, and I would expect them to score goals for fun as they continue to fight for a spot in the top five.
Cole Palmer should get on the scoresheet in this one, as he is the man in form for the Blues. Palmer has four goals in his last two starts, including a hat-trick against another relegation-threatened team, Wolves. Palmer being on penalty duty further increases his chances of grabbing a goal in this one.
Palmer has had his fair share of injury issues this season, resulting in only 13 Premier League starts and 15 appearances so far this season. Despite that, he had netted eight times.
Burnley have conceded at least two goals in each of their last four Premier League games, and 51 total times this season. No team has conceded more times than the Clarets, who are allowing an average of just under two goals per game. I expect a lopsided result in this one, and Cole Palmer feels like the most likely Chelsea player to score.
