Chelsea and Manchester United, two sides on sharply different trajectories, collide at Stamford Bridge on Saturday 18 April for the Premier League Matchweek 33. Kick-off is at 20:00 BST.
With both clubs under new managers (Liam Rosenior at Chelsea and Michael Carrick at Man United), both appointed in January 2026, this fixture carries enormous stakes.
Chelsea need points to keep their top-five hopes alive, while United are protecting a seven-point cushion over sixth and pushing to cement a Champions League return after missing European football entirely this season.
Chelsea vs Man United – Betting Odds
Below we break down the betting markets, explain what each wager means, and provide the latest odds so you can make informed decisions. The figures quoted are supplied by 7bet and were correct at the time of writing. As always, make sure to re-check the most updated Chelsea vs Man United betting odds before placing your bets.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1X2 market is the classic “pick the result” bet: It presents three mutually exclusive outcomes: “1” for a home win, “X” for a draw and “2” for an away win.
You don’t need to predict scorelines, goal totals or anything else, just which side comes out on top, or whether the match ends level. Your bet is settled on the result after 90 minutes plus stoppage time. Extra time and penalty shoot-outs (where applicable) do not count.
| Chelsea win (1) | Draw (X) | Man United win (2) |
| 8/7 | 11/5 | 21/10 |
If you’re new to football betting, 1X2 is the best place to start. For this fixture, the Chelsea vs Manchester United odds reflect the Blues as slight favourites at home even with their recent losing streak, with United the outsiders despite sitting higher in the table.
Double Chance Odds
The double chance market is the best one if you want a safety net. Rather than backing a single result, you combine two of the three 1X2 outcomes into one bet.
The three options are:
- 1X: home win or draw – your bet wins as long as Chelsea doesn’t lose.
- 12: either team wins – you only lose if the match ends in a draw.
- X2: draw or away win – your bet wins as long as Man United doesn’t lose.
Because you’re covering two outcomes instead of one, the odds are naturally shorter than in the 1X2 market. Like the 1X2 market, bets settle after 90 minutes plus stoppage time.
| 1X – Chelsea or draw | 12 – Chelsea or Man United | X2 – Draw or Man United |
| 8/25 | 4/13 | 4/7 |
Handicap Betting Odds
Handicap betting levels the playing field by giving one team a virtual head start or deficit. Bookmakers assign a goal handicap to each side, and your bet is settled based on the result after that handicap is applied.
For example, if you back Chelsea –0.25, the Blues start with a quarter-goal disadvantage. Your stake is effectively split: half on Chelsea –0 (a “draw no bet” line, where a draw returns your money) and half on Chelsea –0.5 (requiring a Chelsea win). If Chelsea win, both halves pay out. If the match is drawn, you win half and lose half. If Chelsea lose, you lose both.
Backing Manchester United +0.25 gives United a quarter-goal advantage. United backers win in full if United win or draw, lose half if Chelsea win by one, and lose in full only if Chelsea win by two or more.
| Chelsea –0.25 | Man United +0.25 |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
| Chelsea –0.5 | Man United +0.5 |
| 23/20 | 16/25 |

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
The Both Teams To Score (BTTS) market is exactly what it sounds like: you’re betting on whether both teams will score at least one goal during normal time.
There are only two options, Yes or No. Selecting Yes means both Chelsea and Manchester United must score at least one goal for your bet to win. Choosing No pays out if either team (or both) fails to score.
Even if one side is dominating, all you need is for the other to nick a goal. The result itself doesn’t matter, only whether each team registers on the scoresheet. Goals in extra time do not count.
| Yes | No |
| 8/17 | 6/4 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
Goal total betting asks you to predict whether the combined number of goals in the match from both sides will be above or below a given line. The most common line is 2.5 goals.
If you back Over 2.5 goals, at least three goals must be scored in total (by either team, in any combination) for your bet to win. Under 2.5 goals requires two or fewer goals in the match.
The .5 in the line means there is no possibility of a push or void bet: every match produces either two or fewer goals, or three or more. If you expect an open match with lots of goals, the overs are the logical choice. If you see a cagey game, perhaps one side sitting deep to protect a lead, then the unders may offer better value.
Remember, 2.5 is just an example. You’re free to set the line wherever you want.
| Over 2.5 goals | Under 2.5 goals |
| 5/9 | 13/10 |
Correct Score Odds
For those who enjoy higher-risk, higher-reward bets, the correct score market challenges you to predict the exact final score after 90 minutes. It is one of the hardest bets to land because a single late goal can make you lose.
This market works well when you have a strong view on how a game will play out. Consider each team’s attacking quality, defensive record, recent form and likely tactical setup.
You can back any scoreline you like. The table below simply shows a selection of popular options for this match.
| 0–0 | 1–1 | Chelsea 1–0 | Chelsea 2–1 |
| 15/1 | 11/2 | 11/1 | 17/2 |
