Chelsea vs Ajax Betting Odds 

Chelsea ended last season with a FIFA Club World Cup trophy and a Europa Conference League Cup. Ajax, on the other hand, hasn’t had any major wins in the last three years. However, it is worth noting that Chelsea’s main strikers, Cole Palmer and Liam Delap, are currently injured, which may impact the result. So, bettors should closely watch the betting lines for the latest odds.

7bet offers competitive odds for all Champions League matches, including this fixture.

1X2 Odds Betting Odds

This is one of the most popular markets in football betting. Here you can bet on one of these three options:

• 1: Home team (Chelsea) wins
• X: Draw
• 2: Away team (Ajax) wins

As per the latest Chelsea vs Ajax betting odds available at 7bet, the odds are 1/4 for Chelsea, 19/4 for a draw, and 17/2 for Ajax. This means that if Chelsea (1) wins the match, bettors profit £1 for every £4 staked. Similarly, if you bet on outcome 2, and Ajax wins the match, you stand to profit £17 for every £2. Correctly predicting a draw will pay you £19 for every £4.

If the bet pays a low return, it means the odds are “short”. Teams with short odds are considered to have a higher probability of winning. However, bets on them will give you only a small profit. Similarly, if the team has “long” odds, they may be considered the underdogs, but the payout on these bets is high. Consider this factor when analyzing the Chelsea vs Ajax odds in this market. Also, look at both teams’ recent form to decide which way to bet. Chelsea had five wins, two draws, and three losses in their last 10 matches. Ajax had four wins, four draws, and two losses in the same period. Use this data to minimize your risk in this market.

Double Chance Odds

The Double Chance market is a safer alternative to 1X2 because it lets you cover two possible outcomes in a single bet:

• 1X: Chelsea wins or the match draws. It only loses if Ajax wins.
• 12: You’re betting that either Chelsea or Ajax will win. The bet loses in case of a draw.
• X2: Your bet wins if Ajax wins or the game ends in a draw, but loses if Chelsea wins.

The double bet increases your chances of winning, but it also means the odds are lower compared to 1X2. Consider this market if you expect a close, unpredictable match and want to reduce your risk. For instance, if you think Chelsea might win but may be held back to a draw, as their main strikers are injured. In this scenario, choose the 1X bet in Double Chance.

Handicap Betting Odds

Since Ajax is considered an underdog in this fixture, you can bet on them with a handicap. This will give you a better chance of winning. For example, you award Ajax a +1.75 handicap. This means these many points will be added to their final goal count, and the same number of points will be subtracted from Chelsea. So, a score of 2–0 will be adjusted as 0.25–1.75, and bets on Ajax win even if they lose the match. Chelsea will need to win with a four-goal margin, like 4–0, to overcome the gap (2.25–1.75).

All handicaps for this fixture are negative for Chelsea and positive for Ajax. However, it is important to keep the goal difference in mind when selecting a handicap. A -0.5 handicap means Chelsea will need to win the match with a two-goal margin. A -2 handicap means Chelsea will need to win with a five-goal margin to overcome the gap.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds

This is a low-risk market for cautious bettors. Here, you have to predict whether both teams will be able to score at least once in the match.

There are two possible ways to bet on this market:

• BTTS Yes: “Yes” bets win if both teams score at least once. So, the final score should be at least 1–1 or higher.
• BTTS No: “No” bets win if one or both teams fail to score. For example, scores such as 0–0, 1–0, or 0–2 are all winners in this market.

When analyzing the Chelsea vs Ajax odds in this market, consider their clean sheet record in the last 10 matches. A clean sheet is when the team’s defense is strong and the opposition team fails to score any goals. So, the higher the clean sheets, the more the chances that “No” bets may win. Chelsea kept three clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Ajax kept two.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

In the Over/Under (Goal Total) market, you’re betting on the combined number of goals scored in the match. Bettors have to predict whether the total will go over or under their chosen betting line.

For example, the default line for this fixture is set at 3.5 goals combined. If you choose Over 3.5 goals, your bet wins only if the match produces four or more goals in total. So, any score like 2–2, 3–1, 4–0, or 1–3 wins. Under 3.5 bets win with scores like 0–0, 1–1, 2–0, or 1–2.

Both teams averaged 1.7 goals per match in their last 10 matches. This brings their combined goal total to 3.4. Use this data when looking at the Chelsea vs Ajax odds in this market.

Correct Score Odds

Bettors have to predict the precise score in this market. The Correct Score market gives long odds because the probability of predicting a precise score at the time of the final whistle is quite low. However, if your bet wins, you can stand to profit a lot. For example, predicting a precise 1–0 win for Chelsea has 9/1 odds, meaning you profit £9 for every pound.
