2015 Community Shield Betting Tips PT 2

The Blues are trading at a 7/5 margin right now with the draw sitting as a 12/5 shot and the Gunners available to be backed at 19/10. There will be some pretty high volume on this match and it’s one of the most over bet fixtures of the year since many of the weekend punters have had money burning a hole in their pocket all summer with no big international tournaments being played for a while.

In regards to the outright result wagering though, you’ll find Chelsea priced at an 8/11 margin while the Gunners are a very solid 21/20 price tag that will probably look pretty good to their fans - especially those who really fancy a defensive affair with little between the two sids. More often than not, that’s really what we’ve come to expect in the Community Shield. 

It probably goes without a huge amount of saying that Diego Costa is trading as the betting favourite to grab a goal at any point in this fixture and the bookmakers have him listed at a 17/10 margin for the opener - he’s very likely to start the match and has been solid in the pre-season friendlies. Arsenal’s Olivier Giroud trades at a 19/10 price tag right now alongside the aforementioned Radamel Falcao. 

Punters will also find Theo Walcott trading at a 21/10 price and he is expected to be deployed more as an out-and-out striker and he’ll be looking to pick up where he left off late last season in that excellent run of form. You’ll also find Loic Remy priced at the exact same listing. 

The bookmakers definitely favour both teams to score here and you’ll find that trading at a pretty solid 3/4 that will likely entice a lot of other players. The Petr Cech factor is not to be understated and there is nothing he would like more than to keep a clean sheet against Chelsea.
