Arsenal vs Chelsea FC Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Though Chelsea have been solid defensively, Arsenal have scored in four of their last five matches and should be able to break through Chelsea’s defence. Chelsea on the other hand are the second highest scoring team in the league and score an average of two goals per game. Hence we suggest betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.77 (betway).
• Pierre Emerick Aubameyang has been one of the top scorers of the league in the past few years and though he has been out of form, he will be looking to turn Arsenal’s form around and is their first choice penalty taker, therefore him being on the scoresheet at odds of 3.20 (betway) is one if the best bets of the match.
• Tammy Abraham scored two goals last week against West Ham and has been crucial in many game for Chelsea. He has ten shots on target in seven starts for Chelsea and therefore betting on him to have over one shot on target at odds of 2.15 (WilliamHill) is a good bet.
Quick Rich
• Chelsea will be dominating the match and will be well rested as they didn’t have to play midweek in the EFL cup like Arsenal who were thrashed 4-1 by Manchester City on Wednesday. Therefore we suggest betting on Chelsea to win both halves , which at odds of 6.00 is one of the most popular bets on WilliamHill as it gives high returns.
• Another popular bet with enhanced odds on WilliamHill is Aubameyang to have over two shots on target at odds of 8.00. He didn’t start against Manchester City midweek and will be leading the attack for Arsenal, therefore this bet gives high returns at a small risk.
Win/Lose/Draw
Arsenal have been one of the worst sides in Europe with their last league win coming almost two months ago, which has seen them fall to fifteenth position in the league. Chelsea should have too much quality for this abysmal Arsenal side and therefore we predict a Chelsea win at odds of 1.90 (betway).
Bet During the Match
With Ziyech and Hudson-Odoi injured, Timo Werner out of form and Christian Pulisic fully fit, if Lampard starts Pulisic on the left wing or he is subbed in early, you can bet on him to assist 1+ goals at odds of 5.50 (betway).
