COMMUNITY SHIELD: Football is back with the traditional curtain-raiser – The Community Shield on Sunday between ARSENAL and CHELSEA. We preview the match with a recommended BETDAQ bet.


ARSENAL V CHELSEA

2pm The traditional curtain raiser for the English season, we have the Community Shield to look forward to in Wembley on Sunday afternoon. It wasn’t so long ago that these two met here in the FA Cup final, and while you can’t expect to have the same intensity as that day – this game is really summed up as a glamour friendly that neither will want to lose.

The odds at the time of writing currently stand at; Arsenal 3.4, Chelsea 2.3 and the draw is 3.55. The teams did meet more recently than the FA Cup final – they played a friendly in China around two weeks ago and Chelsea ran out comfortable 3-0 winners. We obviously can’t read too much into that – and Arsene Wenger has had a pretty good summer, he seems to have managed to hang on to his stars, most notably Sanchez – and maybe a new system with three at the back can bring Arsenal to a level where they can challenge for the title, albeit unlikely.

You’d have to say that Antonio Conte hasn’t had a wonderful summer – he’s had a public row with Costa, hasn’t really landed a blockbuster signing and lost Matic to United. Even though they are Champions, you still have to strengthen your side in the summer and it’s no surprise that the two clubs from Manchester are more fancied to lift the title this season – by the way don’t forget the all Premier League markets are 0% on BETDAQ at the moment for a limited time only!

Going back to the match odds – Arsenal have a great record at Wembley and it’s hard not to think that Chelsea are short at 2.3. That is a tempting lay, however as we noted it’s highly unlikely we have a high intensity in this game, and with that in mind we like the look of over 2.5 goals at around 1.8. Both sides should have attacking lineups and we can’t see neither arriving into Wembley and being too negative – so over 2.5 goals looks a good bet.

BETDAQ BEST BET:
Over 2.5 goals at 1.8.
