Chelsea finished four places and 18 points ahead of Arsenal in the Premier League and that's a form gap that can't be bridged in the FA Cup Final at Wembley on Saturday. The champions have a great chance of completing the first Double in their history and Arsenal don't have the players or team to prevent their London rivals making history. In fact Chelsea look a good bet to cover a handicap of one goal.
It's true that handicap betting is fraught with danger. The most popular team score in the Premier League is one goal and after that nil is the most regular tally of goals. The average number of goals in top division fixtures is around the 2.5 goals mark. A team could be leading by two clear goals with little time remaining. Conceding a late goal scuppers handicap bets on the favourites giving up one goal. In this case Chelsea look good enough to win the Cup Final in 90 minutes by more than one goal.
