Chelsea vs Arsenal Betting Odds

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

We strongly advise all bettors to carefully analyze the betting markets to find the best value for their wager.

Please note that the odds mentioned below are accurate as of the publishing time of the article.

1X2 Odds

This is one of the most common markets in football betting. You can pick one out of the three possible outcomes in this fixture: 

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

In fractional odds, the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. If you analyze the Chelsea vs Arsenal betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 7/3 for Chelsea, 9/4 for a draw, and 9/8 for Arsenal.

This means a bet on Chelsea returns £7 for every £3 wagered if they win. Similarly, successful bets on the Gunners return £9 for every £8, and a draw returns £9 for every £4. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned upon a successful bet.

Upon simplifying the fractions, bets on Chelsea pay £2.3 per pound and bets on Arsenal pay £1.1 per pound. If a bet pays low return, it indicates the team may be a favourite and have a high chance of winning.

However, that doesn’t guarantee the result. The odds are simply based on probability. Match results are unpredictable, so don’t rely just on the probabilities. Moreover, Chelsea won the FIFA Club World Cup and the Europa Conference League earlier this year. Both teams are in top form, so, make sure to analyze their recent results and form closely before placing your bets.

Double Chance

The Double Chance market is a safer alternative to 1X2 as both teams appear to be evenly matched in their form. This bet is a good choice for cautious bettors, who want to lower their risk. It allows you to bet on two outcomes in a single wager instead of just one. You can choose:

• 1X: Home win (Chelsea) or a draw
• X2: Away win (Arsenal) or a draw
• 12: Either team wins, meaning no draw

1X2 gives you 33% win probability, while Double Chance gives 66%. Use this bet if you believe predicting the match winner is difficult. However, bettors should note that the returns in Double Chance are lower compared to 1X2. When the possibility of an outcome increases, bookmakers lower the odds to even out the market.

Handicap Betting Odds

The last two times Chelsea hosted Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, the match ended in a draw. So, let’s say you want to bet on Chelsea but are worried they may be held back to a draw yet again. In this case, you can choose the handicap market to give them an advantage or head start.

For example, you choose to back Chelsea with a +1.5 handicap. This means +1.5 will be added to their final goal tally, and the same number will be subtracted from Arsenal’s result. So, if Arsenal wins the match 0–2, the final score will be adjusted as 1.5–0.5, meaning bets on Chelsea win.

However, be careful when selecting the handicap, as the outcome depends on the goal margin.

Here are some handicaps you can pick for this fixture:

• Chelsea (+0.25) / Arsenal (-0.25): This is the default handicap on 7bet’s betting page for this fixture. It gives an advantage to Chelsea in case of a draw.
• Chelsea (-1) / Arsenal (+1): Bets on Arsenal win if they win, draw, or lose by a one-goal margin. A three-goal margin leads to a win for Chelsea.

• Chelsea (+1.5) / Arsenal (-1.5): Chelsea gets a two-goal lead here. A three-goal gap like 0–3 will lead to a draw (1.5–1.5). Arsenal will need to win the match with a 4-goal difference to overcome the handicap.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)

Chelsea and Arsenal have rarely missed scoring in their matches. The last time both failed to score any goals was in August. However, bettors should note that both teams have strong goalkeepers. Chelsea’s Robert Sanchez kept seven clean sheets last season, while Arsenal’s David Raya kept 12.

This season, Chelsea kept five clean sheets in their last 10 games, while the Gunners kept eight.

Use this data when analysing the Chelsea vs Arsenal odds in the BTTS market. BTTS Yes means both teams will net the ball at least once, and the final score will be at least 1–1 or higher. The “No” bet wins if the final score has a zero in it, like 1–0, 0–0, 2–0, or 0–1.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

Goal Total, also known as Over/Under or O/U, focuses on the total number of goals. For this fixture, bettors have the option to select Over/Under total ranging from 0.5 to 5.

In the above example, the Chelsea vs Arsenal odds are given for the Over/Under 2.5 bet. Over 2.5 bets win if the combined total goals scored by both teams is three or more. Results like 1–2, 2–1, or 0–3 would all be winners. Under 2.5 will win if the match ends with two or fewer goals, like 0–0, 1–1, or 0–2.

As you can see above, the odds for Over/Under 2.5 are similar. This means bookmakers rate both options equally, as the teams have star strikers known for hitting freely. In this scenario, you can lower your risk by choosing a low total like Over 0.5. This bet wins as long as at least one team scores. You can also consider their average goals scored in the last 10 matches to decide which way to bet.

Correct Score Odds

In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the exact final score. The Chelsea vs Arsenal odds in the correct score market are long because it’s difficult to make a precise prediction. Lower your risk by betting only small amounts here.
