FA Cup Final 2009 Betting

Chelsea v Everton has all the ingredients to make it a mouth-watering FA Cup final betting contest on May 30.

A large global TV audience means many punters from around the world will be enjoying an FA Cup Final bet.


Identifying the best value in the FA Cup Final odds could be tricky as not more than one goal has separated these sides in eight meetings since the 2006/2007 season, which includes three draws.

In the most recent of these games, the sides cancelled each other out in a 0-0 draw at Stamford Bridge in April.

It will be the first time an FA Cup Final bet has been possible on this match up as the teams haven’t previously met in the Wembley showpiece event.

FA Cup final bets could favour Chelsea

Chelsea have looked strong in the competition, particularly when seeing off Arsenal 2-1 in the semi-final. They have repaid their followers in the FA Cup Final betting with three victories in recent times – in 1997, 2000 and 2007.

Everton meanwhile beat a depleted Manchester United side on penalties in the second semi-final, to reward punters who had FA Cup final bets on the Toffees.

A Chelsea victory is just favoured in the FA Cup final betting as they are higher placed in the league and boast a strong and expensive squad.

The last time Everton landed the FA Cup Final odds was in 1995, but the current side is tough to break down and has a strong team spirit.

Scorer FA Cup final odds are always popular

First goalscorer betting is a popular FA Cup Final bet and punters will be aware that Everton have suffered a striker crisis this season.

They’ve relied on players like Tim Cahill and Mikel Arteta to find the back of the net, while. Marouane Fellaini could represent attractive FA Cup Final odds after he scored Everton’s opener in the 2-1 quarter-final win over Middlesborough.

Chelsea’s Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard will attract plenty interest in the FA Cup Final, while Florent Malouda scored the first goal in the Blues semi-final victory and the FA Cup final odds could reflect his good form.
