Odds and bettingtips from FA Community Sheild, Manchester U vs Chelsea

On Sunday, 8 August, it is time for the Community shield match. That means that the Premier League season is close and that the English football season has started. It is close to that day now and I am really looking forward to Sunday and the kick-off of FA Community shield.

In this text, I am going to give you my thoughts of this game and the best bettingtips that I find. My odds are picked from bwin football sportsbetting and they have whole 94 different betting opportunities on their marked at this moment. I really like a site that offers many different type of betting both live and before the games start and bwin is exemplary on that area.

I will start with my bettingtips, the odds and my analyze regarding 1-x-2 betting. After that, I will give some other tips on special betting.

Manchester United vs. Chelsea, odds: Manchester united to win @ 2.90 in odds, draw @ 3.10 in odds, Chelsea to win @ 2.40 in odds

My bettingtips: Manchester United vs. Chelsea, draw @ 3.10 in odds

What a game immediately! The last couples of years two biggest teams in England get to play the FA Community shield and make the kick-off for this year’s season. Chelsea won the Premier League last year, only one point ahead of Manchester United. I don’t know if we can talk about some kind of chance to revenge here, but what we can talk about is that both Chelsea and Manchester United has a great chance to put themselves in respect for the coming season.

Most of the matches that have been played between these two teams lately have been tough, hard and very even. In addition, in the first competitive match of the year I cannot see that any of the teams are superior their opponents. My feeling is that we can look forward to a even game at Wembley stadium and even though it means a lot to start the season with this trophy I wonder if the managers will play out all their secret cards in this game.

I have hard to choose any side in game and therefore I choose to bet on draw. It pays 3.10 in odds and that is enough to bet on according to me. If you choose to bet as I do, I recommend you to keep an eye on the livebetting if the standing is draw and maybe 10 – 15 minutes left of the game. That might be a good time to try to sell your bets if you want to secure a win if the match is switching side to much and both teams are going for the win.

Over / Under 2,5 goals in the match?

Odds: Over 2,5 goals: 2.10 in odds and Under 2,5 goals: 1.65 in odds

My bettingtips: Under 2,5 goals @ 1.65 in odds

As I am writing above, I think that this will be a tight, tough and even game. What I did not write above was that I even think it will be very few goals in this match. It is the beginning of the season and the tempo cannot be on top. I have the feeling that this game will end 0 – 0 or 1 – 0. Nevertheless, for this bet it can even end 0 – 1, 1 – 0, 2 – 0, 0 – 2 for me to win.

My feeling is that both teams will open pretty cautious and try to find their positions. Both teams play with about the same formations (4-3-3, or 4-3-2-1 depending how you like to write it) which means that it will be hard to get a advantage on the other team until the players starting to get a bit tired.

I would not pay a lot in odds on that the result is 0 – 0 at half time and if it would be the case I would be very happy for both my bets.

How many yellow cards will be shown in the match? Over / under 3,5 yellow cards

odds: Over 3,5 yellow cards: 2.20 in odds and Under 3,5 yellow cards: 1.60 in odds

My bettingtips: Over 3,5 Yellow cards in the match @ 2.20 in odds

I am a bit surprised that you can get this much in odds on a bet that it will be four (or more) yellow cards shown in this game. I am aware of that it will probably be shown less yellow cards in this game then if it would had been a regular league match, but still there is lot of prestige in this game and I would not predict that the players will hold back their tackles if it is necessary.

Even though this is the first game for the league and it doesn’t mean any further qualification or three points in the league table I still am sure that both of the teams wants to win this game. It is still a trophy and it is against the worst rivals according to the odds. So this is a very interesting bet and I will defiantly place this bet in this game.

Good luck with your betting & tips
