ENG Community Shield Betting Markets & Odds

For more than a century, the first competitive game of the English football season has been the Community Shield, which pits the Premier League champions against the FA Cup winners in a showdown at Wembley Stadium.

This traditional curtain-raiser is also the first chance to bet on a competitive game ahead of the new campaign, with the most popular betting markets available.

In this guide, we’ll take a look at Community Shield betting in more detail, including how to bet on the game and a rundown of the different football betting markets that you can choose from.

 Even though the Premier League champions Manchester City start the Community Shield as favourites, this is a game in which the underdog has every chance to thrive – Leicester City beat Manchester City in the 2021 edition, while Liverpool also defeated Pep Guardiola’s side in 2022.

There are opportunities in the Community Shield online betting to wager on either team to win – be it inside 90 minutes or via a penalty shootout, as well as stacks of other markets (more on those shortly).

The start of the new football season is also the ideal time to get up and running with a new account, with a number of different Community Shield betting offers available here at talkSPORT BET that deliver free bets when you deposit and place a qualifying wager.

 Match Result

 Who will win the Community Shield? Will the game be decided inside 90 minutes or will penalties be required? Have your say in the match result odds.

 Over/Under Goals

 Seven of the last ten editions of the Community Shield have witnessed two or fewer goals. Are you expecting a repeat this year, or will the latest Wembley extravaganza buck that trend? You can bet over or under goal lines from 0.5 to 5.5.

 Both Teams to Score

 Whether you think the Community Shield will be one-sided or a close-fought encounter, you can bet on whether you think both teams will or won’t score.

 Correct Score

 If you’ve got a hunch about how the Community Shield will play out, you can try your luck in the correct score market. Will it be a 0-0 bore-fest or an end-to-end 3-2?

 Tips for Betting on the Community Shield

 The history books have shown that this is a game in which the underdog can thrive, so perhaps the most important of the Community Shield betting tips is to keep an open mind about the end result.

It’s sensible to wait until the team news is released before placing your bets – managers don’t always play their strongest starting eleven in the Community Shield.

Other Community Shield bet tips include studying the form of the two teams during pre-season while assessing which of the teams are well-settled and which is trying to bed in new signings.
