Both finalists will be making the same long trip from London to Baku, Azerbaijan. For just the third time in the history of the Europa League, a final will be contested between two teams from the same nation. On May 29th, Premier League sides Chelsea and Arsenal will come together to battle it out for the piece of European silverware.
For both, this is their last chance to avoid finishing the season empty-handed. For Arsenal, it could be their route into the Champions League next season.

Europa League Final Winner Odds 2019
Chelsea have had a taste of what winning the Europa League feels like. They did it back in 2013 in what was their first ever season in the tournament. There was difference between that campaign and this season because in 2013 they had dropped from the Champions League and entered the Europa at the knockout phase.
This campaign Chelsea had to start from the group stage and they have progressed unbeaten throughout the final. The odds on Chelsea Chelsea to win the Europa League are at 8/11* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). If they go ahead and claim the title, they will be the first team to ever win the cup having remained unbeaten in the campaign.
Chelsea v Arsenal – Will Chelsea beat Arsenal?
The odds on Arsenal to win the Europa league are at 9/4 which makes them the underdogs for the match in Baku. They have already taken a step further than they did last year. In last year’s campaign, which was their first in the Europa League, the Gunners produced a run to the semi-final. They weren’t halted at the final four stage this year as they turned out a thumping 7-3 aggregate over Spanish side Valencia.
Of course, the Europa League final 2019 may well not be settled in regulation time. If the game does go to extra time then both sides will have a fourth substitute to use. It is important to remember in Europa League Final betting that the odds mentioned above are just for the 90 minutes market.
There is the Top Lift The Trophy market where you can back either team to win by any method. There Chelsea are 8/11 odds on with Arsenal at 11/10* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). There may well be reason to consider the Top Lift The Trophy market because four of the last eight meetings between the two teams have ended in a draw.
Betting on Full-Time Result (90 minutes)
Betting on the full-time result (90 minutes) of the Europa League 2019 Final, therefore, means that you need the team to complete the job at the full-time whistle in regulation time. Chelsea are the narrow favourites in the market at 11/8* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). But over the course of the Premier League season, the two both won their respective home fixture against the other. Arsenal have lost just one of their last eight against the Blues in all competitions.
Tottenham v Liverpool – Who will lift the trophy?
Over / Under 2.5 Goals Betting
Will the Europa League be a tight, cagey affair? Big finals can usually pan out that way for sure. From the recent duels that these two have had, four of the last seven meetings have ended under 2.5 goals. Whichever way you fancy swinging on this market, both options are backable at 10/11 odds* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.).
Both Teams to Score in Final
It is somewhat expected that Chelsea and Arsenal are going to be evenly matched Baku. Chelsea have the better, more stable defence of the two, while Arsenal definitely are capable of packing a bigger attacking punch. So will they cancel each other out? Both teams have scored in four of the last seven meetings and they are 7/10 to do so again in this fixture* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.).
Europa League Final Betting on Correct Score
It is one of the more difficult markets to nail down. Europa league Final betting on the correct score market has the 1-1 option as the shortest-priced pick at 5/1* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). That’s pretty par for the course in matches between big teams. Arsenal have scored at least two goals in four of their last five games against the Blues. Actually, though the only scoreline to have repeated itself in the last six meetings is the 0-0 draw (twice) which is a 9/1 option* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.).
Tottenham v Liverpool – Who will lift the trophy?
Goalscorer Betting Markets
Between them, Pierre Emerick Aubameyang (4) and Alexandre Lacazette (3) scored all seven of Arsenal’s goals in their tie against Valencia in the semi-finals. Aubameyang is the 11/10 outright favourite in the Anytime Goalscorer market for the Europa League final* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). It is Chelsea’s Eden Hazard who is actually the shortest priced option in the First Goalscorer market at 9/2* (Betting Odds were taken from bet365 on May 24th, 2019 at 7:56 p.m.). Will this be his last ever game in a Chelsea shirt? If so, can he lift the Blues to European success and go out in style?
