Wrexham v Chelsea betting form

Wrexham are enjoying a remarkable campaign in the Championship, currently sitting in the final play-off position and firmly in the hunt for promotion. Alongside their impressive league form, they have also made headlines in the FA Cup, producing standout victories over Nottingham Forest and Ipswich Town to reach the next stage of the competition.

Their reward is a huge home tie against Chelsea, eight-time winners of English football’s most prestigious domestic cup. The visit of the Premier League giants promises to be a memorable occasion at the Racecourse Ground, with the spotlight firmly on Wrexham as they look to extend their fairy-tale run.

Chelsea are currently locked in a tight race for the Champions League places, sitting fifth in the Premier League, a position that will likely be enough to secure qualification for next season’s competition. While their league campaign remains a priority, there is also silverware on the line.

Manager Liam Rosenior will be eager to claim his first trophy with the club, and the FA Cup may represent Chelsea’s best remaining opportunity to do so this season. Progress in the competition would not only keep their hopes of lifting silverware alive but also add further momentum to an already competitive campaign.

However, the trip to Wrexham will be far from straightforward. The Racecourse Ground is expected to be rocking on Saturday evening, with the home crowd fully behind their side as they aim to continue their impressive cup run and pull off another memorable upset.

Wrexham v Chelsea football spread betting prices.

Our football spread betting prices have Chelsea as the favourites with a Goal Supremacy quote of Chelsea/Wrexham (h) 1.35 – 1.55. This means a 'buy' bet at 1.55 would need a Chelsea two goal win to start turning a profit (e.g. two goal win would win 0.45x your stake, three goal win would win 1.45x your stake etc.).

A 1.35 'sell' bet would need a one goal Chelsea win, draw or Wrexham win to turn a profit (e.g. one goal Chelsea win would win 0.35x your stake, a draw would win 1.35x your stake and a Wrexham one goal win would win 2.35x your stake etc.).

Our spread betting Total Goals line is 3.25 – 3.45. So a 3.45 'buy' bet would need at least four goals to be scored in the match to start turning a profit. Conversely, a ‘3.25’ sell bet would need three goals or less to be scored in the match to turn a profit.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. E.g. a 3.45 'buy' Total Goals bet would lose 3.45x your stake if the match ended 0-0. In the 1.55 'buy' Supremacy bet example above, if the game ended in a draw you would lose 1.55x your stake, if the game ended in a Wrexham one goal win then it would lose 2.55x your stake etc. And in the 1.35 'sell' Supremacy example above, the bet would lose 0.65x your stake on a two goal Chelsea win and 1.65x your stake on a three goal Chelsea win etc.

In Chelsea last outing the First Match Goal was scored in just the 2^nd minute of the game. This time round the spread for the spread betting market First Match Goal is 29-32. This means another fast start with a goal being scored in the 2^nd minute would win 27x your stake if you were to sell at 29.

Remember that with spread betting, get the bet wrong and losses can exceed your stake/deposit. So for example if the First Match Goal was scored in the 60^th minute, a ‘sell’ at 29 would lose 31x times your stake.
