Chelsea vs. Manchester United: Online sportsbooks for 2010 Community Shield football betting

It’s a rematch of the 2009 Community Shield this year, as repeat Premier League champions Manchester United take on back-to-back FA Cup winners Chelsea on Sunday.

If you’re considering betting on the Community Shield at all this year, please do your homework beforehand. For this match, there is a distinct difference in the odds being offered at various sportsbooks: Chelsea backers should play at Bet365, where the Blues are getting 8/5 odds, as opposed to Ladbrokes’ 7/5 offering. The reverse is true for those figuring on Manchester to win in 90 minutes: Ladbrokes gives the Premier League champions 15/8 odds, slightly better than bet365’s 7/4.

These top sportsbooks as well as Unibet have dozens of lines on the game. At Unibet, for example, you can bet over/unders on total goals scored from 0.5 to 4.5. A scoreless draw gets a line of 9.50 currently. “Goalscorer” markets are prolific as well. Here, Didier Drogba and Wayne Rooney are the predictable favorites to score first, at 6.00 and 6.50, respectively.
