Chelsea at Arsenal: London derby betting guide and tips
By Mike Malley
A second bet I’m keeping my eye on is no on the both teams to score prop at -102 odds. I’m not exaggerating when I say I wouldn’t be surprised if CFC didn’t score again for the entire season. There are very few players in the squad with any attacking impetus at the moment, and Lampard’s horrific team selection only amplifies the issue. I genuinely thought there had been a mistake in the lineup announcement when I saw Conor Gallagher and N’Golo Kante positioned as wingers against Brentford, according to FotMob. Nothing needs to be said apart from the fact that the Blues have only scored once in their previous seven matches. I find this stat unacceptable as a fan of the team, but as a gambler, I’m happy to take advantage of the consistency.
Official odds (via FanDuel as of April 30)
Chelsea ML: +420
Arsenal ML: -160
Draw: +310
Over/Under: 2.5 (-124/+102)
My Chelsea picks:
Watching uninspired attacking football is never an enjoyable experience, so being a Chels‘ supporter has felt like a slog for much of the 2022/23 campaign. Fortunately, the past few weeks have been extremely profitable, which somewhat makes up for the hours spent watching our dreadful team pass the ball around the back line for 90’. I’ll hope for a different outcome off the pitch, but stick to making money with the betting guide.

With that being said, I’ll take Arsenal on the moneyline at -160 odds, the no option on the both teams to score prop at -102, and Mudryk anytime goalscorer at +480. That last pick is obviously super risky, but I like this match as the spot where the €100 million-euro man turns his flop narrative around. The Gooners’ tears would be unbelievably sweet.
