It is a story of romanticism, that Didier Drogba has returned to Chelsea, the club which he fired to success and which is his footballing spiritual home. For so many years Drogba was Chelsea, their leader, their talisman that it was a heart-wrenching divorce for fans when he left. But the big man is back and online betting site Skybet have come up with some interesting market to enjoy some Didier Drogba betting on.
But first of all, it is important to understand, that because of Diego Costa, Fernando Torres and Romelu Lukaku at the club, Drogba’s role isn’t going to be that big of one. You can see him mostly getting League and FA Cup matches, and some time out in away games in Europe. But in trusting him to lead the line week-in, week-out in the Premier League, it isn’t going to happen.
Online betting site Skybet have priced him up as a 5/6 shot to go over/under 7.5 league goals for the season and most action that he will see there will probably be off the bench. He isn’t going to come back and fire off a twenty-goal season for the Blues in the Premier League, that is unreasonable to expect from the 36 year old. He is simply there for back up support.
Skybet have priced up some debut specials for him though, as Drogba is 6/4 to score on his competitive debut, and 10/1 to score a brace on his first match back with the Blues. Drogba is 50/1 to score a hat trick on his competitive debut. There is also a Win Special market for punters to enjoy on Drogba as well, for the man who scored so many vital, big goals for the Blues.
Drogba is 7/2 to score in a major cup final 2014/15 and is a 16/1 shot to score in the 2015 Champions League final. His last goal for Chelsea of course was that Champions League winning spot kick against Bayern Munich and Drogba is 66/1 with Skybet to score a penalty shoot out in the Champions League final again.
