Chelsea vs Spurs Betting: Win if your team scores first

The Blues host Mauricio Pochettino's men on Wednesday night and you can cash in with William Hill if the team you back opens the scoring but don't win

The pick of Wednesday night’s Premier League action comes from Stamford Bridge as Chelsea host Tottenham in a crunch clash.

Spurs missed the chance to close the gap on Liverpool and Manchester City as they were stunned 2-1 at Burnley on Saturday lunchtime, whilst the Blues have won just two of their last six league matches.

William Hill make the hosts 5/4 (2.25) favourites whilst Mauricio Pochettino’s men are priced at 9/4 (3.25) but users can take advantage of the Golden Goal promotion available from the bookmaker.

Simply back either team to win as normal and if they score the first goal of the game, but fail to win the match, then you will be paid out in cash up to £50. T&Cs can be found here .

Only your first qualifying bet on the Golden Goal match will count towards this offer and Golden Goal winnings will be paid as Cash, up to a maximum of £50 winnings (plus your stake, or proportion of stake, that qualified towards the winnings) per customer, per match.

An open game is expected by the bookies, with both teams to score priced at just 8/13 (1.62) . That is of little surprise considering Spurs have found the net in all 14 of their away matches in the league this season.

It is worth noting that Tottenham have scored first in 10 of those matches, going on to win nine of those and losing only once - at Watford back in September.

The Blues, meanwhile, have opened the scoring in 9 of their 13 homes games and have won seven of those, although the two they failed to win came against Liverpool and Manchester United, respectively.

There could be little to split these sides on Wednesday evening and William Hill’s Golden Goal promotion offers punters a good way to get paid out, even if their match odds bet fails to win.
