Chelsea could very easily finish the season the same way as their ‘dear friends from Emirates’. They are playing with Bolton at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, but it is certain they will be thinking about the second game that is being played at JJB Stadium at the same time.

Grant hopes – hope is all he is left with

Chelsea are a step away from losing another title. All millions invested in team over the past few years have only brought two titles in the years when Manchester were rebuilding their squad, Arsenal promoting young forces as usually, and Liverpool hoping for miracle. Last year, Mourinho lost the title, and the team is only a step away from losing the title thanks to the disastrous period before and after Mourinho. The problem is, there is no system in Blues’ performances, while the games are being won thanks to the individual quality of their players.

The concentration will be the main problem against Bolton. Namely, Chelsea players will certainly be thinking about JJB where Manchester United have a chance to close the deal. It is the question if Chelsea are going to be successful in attacking Bolton’s goal, and also in defending their own. The only solution for Chelsea is to score and get a lead in the opening moments of a game because that would give them the chance to close all the paths towards their own goal, while, of course, waiting for the good news.

Bolton without motives

Bolton have managed to save the season by winning over Sunderland. They have avoided relegation, but it is sure that no one in the club is satisfied. Last year, they were fighting for Champions League place, while this season, they were afraid until the end , so it is sure the team will suffer some changes for the next season.

The information that matters to us is that Bolton players have spent the entire week partying, celebrating their survival. Almost no one from the club is mentioning the game with Chelsea, and thus, it would be wonder if they do not suffer the convincing defeat. It is simple – they are mentally out of the game and it is a question if Megson could motivate them to at least try to do something at Stamford Bridge.

Betting verdict

Chelsea are clear favorites and no one questions their win in this fixture. Although they will probably be thinking about JJB, they will try to secure their win in the first interval already so they could be more relaxed in the second half. On the other hand, Trotters are in mess, so it is hard to believe they could significantly resist the great rivals. The odds on home win are very small, so we will advise you to think about better odds by betting on half time/full time market (Home/Home)
