Arsenal v Chelsea Betting Preview – Pre-season friendly 22nd July
This is a friendly match for the preseason which has nothing at all to do with the International Champions Cup, which both are a part of. Arsenal banked a win in the Cup over Bayern Munich recently, while Chelsea goes to Singapore after this to face Bayern Munich and Inter Milan in that trophy. But this is a just a friendly which is nothing to do with all that, and it will be interesting before they meet up before the Community Shield at Wembley next month.

Arsenal v Chelsea Betting Tips
A London-derby friendly showdown will be going down on Saturday for this pre-season match up. This is the time when the managers will be trying to get their new players integrated into the system as well as trying to avoid any major pre-season injuries. Arsenal have had a busy summer so far having made an early start in touring Australia, and they just met Bayern Munich in the International Champions Cup on the 19th of July and they took a 1-1 draw in that one thanks to a 93rd-minute equaliser from Alex Iwobi. The Gunners won the penalty shoot out. That was in China, so the Gunners have been here longer than Chelsea have and that may be a factor. Big summer signing Alexandre Lacazette should be getting a run out and is a decent option in the bet365 anytime goalscorer market, therefore. Alexis Sanchez isn’t with the Arsenal squad because of international commitments over the summer.
Chelsea doesn’t have their full contingent of players either, with summer signing Tiemoue Bakayoko not with them because of his ongoing knee injury. New German defender Antonio Rudiger isn’t with them either as he will join them in Singapore later, and Alvaro Morata doesn’t join up with the squad just yet. There is no Eden Hazard for the Blues on tour either. So this isn’t going to be a full-blooded clash between the two of them of course. Last season Chelsea and Arsenal met three times and Arsenal took two wins to the one by Chelsea in that one. Each of those three games last season though did go over 2.5 goals so you can look at over the goal line at bet365 in this one. Watch for the goalscorer markets through live in play-betting but it is worth backing both teams to score in the match at bet365 for around the 4/6 mark in this friendly. The two will meet up signs on August 6th in the Community Shield.

Arsenal v Chelsea Predictions
Arsenal to win: The Gunners have been settled in China longer and that should have a bearing on this one. Their spirits will be up after their game against Bayern Munich as well whereas Chelsea are coming into the game a little colder. Back both teams to score but for the Gunners to land the victory.
