Chelsea vs Aston Villa Betting Odds 

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

Please note that the odds are accurate as of the publishing time of the article. Make sure to check the latest odds before placing a bet.

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 (Aston Villa)

The odds are written in fractions – the denominator is the bet amount, and the numerator is the expected return. If you analyze the Chelsea vs Aston Villa betting odds in the 1X2 market, the odds are 4/5 for Chelsea, 13/5 for a draw, and 11/4 for Aston Villa.

This means a bet on Chelsea returns £4 for every £5 wagered if they win. Similarly, successful bets on Villa return £11 for every £4, and a draw returns £13 for every £5. Your stake (betting amount) is also returned if the bet wins.

If the bet returns are low, the odds are called “short.” Teams with short odds are considered to be the favorites in the fixture. On the other hand, bets on teams that return more are said to have long odds and a low chance of winning. In this fixture, bets on Chelsea pay £0.8 per pound while bets on Villa pay £2.75 per pound. So, Chelsea can be considered the favourites in this fixture. However, bettors should not underestimate Villa. They are not only ahead of Chelsea on the Premier League table, but have also won all five of their Europa League matches. 

Both teams are in top form, so be careful when selecting your bet in this market. You can lower your risk by opting for the Double Chance market instead.

Double Chance

The Double Chance market is a safe choice for cautious bettors. It allows you to bet on two of the three possible outcomes in a match. You can choose:

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

This gives you two chances for a win. However, this safety net also lowers potential returns, as your winning probability is high. Choose Double Chance over 1X2 if you believe both teams are equally matched in their form, and you are unsure who will win the fixture.

Handicap Betting Odds

You can give an advantage to your chosen team by giving them a positive handicap. This means a fixed number of points (chosen by you) will be added to their final goal total, and subtracted from the other team.

For example, you choose to back Chelsea with a +0.75 handicap. A final score of 0–1 will be adjusted as 0.75–0.25, meaning bets on Chelsea win even though they lost.

However, be careful when selecting the handicap, as the goal margin changes the outcome of the bet.

Here are some popular handicaps for this fixture:

• Chelsea (-0.5) / Aston Villa (+0.5): Villa gets an advantage in case of a draw. For example, a final score of 1–1 will become 0.5-1.5, giving a win to bets on Villa.
• Chelsea (-1.5) / Aston Villa (+1.5): Bets on Aston Villa win if they win, draw, or lose by two goals. A three-goal loss leads to a draw (3–0 becomes 1.5–1.5). A four-goal loss leads to a win for Chelsea.
• Chelsea (+0.75) / Aston Villa (-0.75): Chelsea gets a one-goal lead here. If they lose by one goal, like 0–1, the handicap-adjusted score will be read as 0.75–0.25. A two-goal margin loss, like 0–2, will lead to a win for Villa (0.75–1.25).

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) considers only one aspect of the game: whether both teams will score at least one goal during the match. The final score doesn’t matter here. Here’s how you can pick:

• BTTS Yes: Both teams will score at least once. If the score is at least 1–1 or higher, BTTS Yes bets win.
• BTTS No: Either or both teams will fail to score. This means there will be at least one zero in the score, like 1–0, 0–0, 2–0, or 0–1.

When considering Chelsea vs Aston Villa odds in the BTTS market, look at both teams’ clean sheets. A clean sheet means the opposition team was unable to score even a single goal against them. This indicates a strong defense and a higher win probability for BTTS No bets.

Chelsea kept five clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Villa kept three. Use this data to lower your risk.

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 1 to 4.

In the above example, the Chelsea vs Aston Villa 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 3–0 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.

Look at the average goals when choosing the Chelsea vs Aston Villa odds in this market. In the last 10 matches, Aston Villa averaged 2.2 goals per match, and Chelsea averaged 1.8. This brings their combined goal total to 4.0, which is well over the 2.5 line. Use this data to minimize your risk.

Correct Score Odds

In the Correct Score market, bettors need to predict the exact final score. The Chelsea vs Aston Villa 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.
