Chelsea v WBA Odds: Drogba Great Bet for Opening Match Hat Trick

Baggies boss, Roberto Di Matteo will need more than a few favours from his old club Chelsea, if his newly promoted team is to get anything out of this match at Stamford Bridge. Certainly the Bookmakers do not give them any chance, with Totesport offering a massive 18/1 for a WBA win and an equally massive 1/7 odds on for Chelsea with the draw being far more modestly priced at 11/2.

Di Matteo can at least take heart and heed of Chelsea’s pre-season form which has looked far from impressive. Not only were they were beaten by 1-3 by Man Utd in last week’s Community Shield Wembley Showpiece, they also lost three from four friendly matches against Ajax, Frankfurt and Hamburg. In fact their only win since the end of last season came a month ago against Crystal Palace.

Of course this is the start of the real thing and we all know that Chelsea at Stamford Bridge are almost unbeatable. They will have new signing Yossi Benayoun available and Didier Drogba, the Premier League’s top scorer from last season should be fit enough to start the match, meaning that the ‘Blues’ should be at full strength. Drogba is in fact a very good looking bet at 5/2 to score the first goal of this match but he is an even better price at 8/1 to score a hat trick, a feat that is surely within his compass against a team like WBA. These odds are available via Totesport.com. - A £10 bet on a Drogba hat trick would yield an £80 return!

2010/11 Premier League Odds Comparison

Chelsea last played the ‘Baggies’ at Stamford Bridge on Boxing Day, 2008 which they won comfortably by 2-0, in fact they have won their last four home games against the midlanders and did not concede a goal in any of them. We think therefore, that a similar outcome is highly likely here and would consider betting on any of the following Correct Score betting options:

2-0 Chelsea win – 11/2
3-0 Chelsea win – 6/1
1-0 Chelsea win – 13/2
4-0 Chelsea win – 8/1
5-0 Chelsea win – 12/1
