1X2 Betting Odds
| PSG (1) | X | Chelsea (2) |
| 17/25 | 14/5 | 16/5 |
The 1X2 betting market is one of the simplest and most popular wagers in football betting. The 1 refers to the Home team (Paris Saint-Germain), 2 is the Away team (Chelsea), and X means a draw.
You can pick one out of three choices in this market:
- 1: PSG wins
- X: The match draws
- 2: Chelsea wins
Here’s how to read the PSG vs Chelsea betting odds for the 1X2 market: The odds are 17/25 for PSG, 14/5 for a draw, and 16/5 for Chelsea. In fractional odds, the numerator indicates the expected profit in relation to the bet amount, which is mentioned in the denominator. So, with 17/25 odds, bets on PSG pay £17 for every £25 if they win. Successfully predicting a draw pays £14 for every £5, and correctly betting on Chelsea’s win pays £16 for every £5 bet. Bookmakers also return the stake (betting amount) on successful bets.
When an outcome is considered less likely, bookmakers give it “long” odds. This means your potential payout will be higher, but your bet has a low chance of winning. On the other hand, bets with “short” odds pay less, but have a higher likelihood of winning.
This doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t bet on teams with long odds. Consider their recent form, head-to-head history, and injury before deciding which way to bet. You can also find valuable bets for underdog teams in the handicap and BTTS markets.
Double Chance Odds
| PSG or Draw | PSG or Chelsea | Draw or Chelsea |
| 1/5 | 3/13 | 14/15 |
Double Chance is a low-risk alternative to 1X2. This market allows you to cover two outcomes instead of one. This increases your chances of winning the bet to 66% (2 out of 3). However, bookmakers offer short odds in this market due to the high win probability.
The double chance betting options for this fixture are:
- PSG or Draw (1X): Your bet only loses if Chelsea wins.
- PSG or Chelsea: This covers both teams to win and removes the option of a draw.
- Draw or Chelsea: This loses if PSG wins the match.
Double chance bets are typically useful when you believe both teams are strong and predicting a winner may be difficult.
Handicap Betting Odds
| PSG (-0.75) | Chelsea (+0.75) |
| 5/6 | 5/6 |
| PSG (+0.75) | Chelsea (-0.75) |
| 1/7 | 4/1 |
| PSG (-1.75) | Chelsea (+1.75) |
| 9/4 | 10/33 |
Handicap bets are useful when you want to give an advantage to your chosen team. Let’s say you think PSG has an edge in this fixture, but you want to bet on Chelsea. Pick the handicap market to give them a headstart.
For example, a +1.5 handicap means 1.5 points will be added to Chelsea’s total, and the same amount of points will be deducted from PSG. So, a final score of 3–1 becomes 1.5–2.5 after adjusting for the (+/-) 1.5 handicap. This means bets on Chelsea win, even if they lose the match.
Consider the PSG vs Chelsea odds in this market only if you can predict how close or wide the scoreline will be. Here’s how different handicaps affect the final result:
- PSG -0.75/ Chelsea +0.75: Bets on Chelsea win if they win, draw, or lose by one goal, as a score of 2–1 will be calculated as 1.25–1.75. PSG will need to win by two goals to overcome the gap (2–0 becomes 1.25–0.75).
- PSG +0.75/ Chelsea -0.75: This is the opposite scenario where PSG gets a one-goal lead.
- PSG -1.75/ Chelsea +1.75: Chelsea gets a three-goal advantage with this handicap. So, a score like 3–0 will be adjusted to 1.25–1.75. PSG will be able to overcome the gap if they win the match with a four-goal margin.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
| Yes | No |
| 4/7 | 5/4 |
Both Teams to Score or BTTS is suited for new bettors, as it considers only one aspect of the game: whether both teams score in the full 90 minutes.
BTTS “Yes” bets win if the final score is at least 1–1 or higher. On the other hand, the “No” bet wins if either or both teams fail to score and the final score has a zero in it, like 0–0, 2–0, or 1–0.
Consider the clean sheets (where the opposition team’s score is zero) when analysing the PSG vs Chelsea odds in this market. The higher the clean sheets, the higher the chances that “No” bets may win. PSG kept four clean sheets in their last 10 matches, while Chelsea kept two. Use this data to minimize your risk.
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/9 | 13/10 |
In this market, bettors have to predict the combined total number of goals in this match. For this fixture, the default betting line is set at Over or Under 2.5 goals.
- Over 2.5 means you’re betting that the match will have three or more goals. Scores like 1–2, 2–2, or 3–0 will all win in this bet.
- Under 2.5 wins if the game ends with two or fewer goals, such as 0–0, 2–0, or 1–1.
Bettors are free to choose a total ranging from 1 to 4 goals combined. Both Chelsea and PSG have strong attackers in their squad, who are known for scoring freely. If you are a cautious bettor, consider a low-risk bet like Over 1. This wins as long as both teams score at least once. Also, consider their combined average goals in the last 10 matches when looking at the PSG vs Chelsea odds in this market.
