Chelsea v Man City key stats / Info

7/7 of Chelsea's home games have seen over 2.5 goals hit while 6/7 on the road in the Premier League for Man City have seen the over 2.5 hit, equating to an overall implied probability of 86%. Man City have hit the net 27 times on the road and Chelsea have netted 19 times in 7 league games. Both teams have hit the back of the net at the Bridge in 86% of Premier League games. Didier Drogba is in fine goal scoring form off the back of 3 goals in 2 games.

Potential lineups / game pattern

Villas Boas may choose to recall Frank Lampard who he hooked early last week in the Newcastle game and benched midweek in the Champions League. The front three may remain unchanged off the back of two 3:0 wins. Mancini may continue his new found attacking philosophy for Man City and Balotelli will possibly come in for Dzeko. If he does, expect him to cause problems for David Luiz ala Demba Ba last week when Chelsea push forward. Both teams will look to attack and Man City will be very dangerous on the counter attack with the pace of Aguero, guile of Silva and bursting runs from midfield of Yaya Toure if Chelsea push high up as they have been doing. Didier Drogba's confidence is high and Man City will have to keep an eye on the big man and look for the pacey and skillful Sturridge to be a key creative weapon for Chelsea.

What is expected Strokes Gained Course Fit ?

Bryan pioneered the concept of Expected Strokes Gained Course Fit (xSGF) in golf betting. xSGF can be predicted using my model below. For prospective golf betting tips it projects ahead of time how many shots a player is expected to pick up per round on average on a particular golf course. It's weighed against a neutral golf course of the same rating.

Input up to date player and course data (from the upcoming course fit manual 2024) into this interactive golf betting model. My course fit profiling model for golf betting tips uses highly evolved golf nuance and betting intuition, precise parameters and inputs based on Bayesian analysis, plus years of empirical evidence through observing, betting and documenting golf and stats.

What is Progressive Form in Golf Betting?

Progressive form in golf betting differs from current form in that players are showing a trend in the right direction in their recent scoring. Trending form has a high predictive value in golf betting and can also catch players under the radar at an inflated price vs their true betting odds.
