Tuesday 5/18 EPL Slate and DFS Gameplan

Welcome back as we are in the final week of the 2020-2021 English Premier League. We find ourselves at the beginning of a midweek Tuesday/Wednesday Match week, 37/38.

The first three games listed are lacking in significance but the stakes couldn’t be bigger in the Chelsea/Leicester city match.

Liverpool will be certainly be paying a close eye to the result. Currently, they sit just beneath both Leicester City and Chelsea in the table with two matches left and Champion’s League qualification on the line.

EPL Best Odds

*Leicester City to Win* (+400) – “DraftKings Sportsbook”

The Betting Game Plan

Not that I don’t think Chelsea find their way to at least a draw here. However, I think +400 for a Leicester City win doesn’t represent how hard fought and close this should be.
