Chelsea To Break Cup Final Score Record

Last updated : 14 May 2010 By Paddy Power

Back then the cup finals were held at Crystal Palace before moving to the 'old' Wembley. This season Chelsea broke a record for the number of goals scored in a Premier League season and managed to score 7 or more in four different matches. Given they are playing the team that finished bottom there is a chance that Chelsea could break Bury's long held record this Saturday.

 

Paddy Power have a Chelsea 7-0 win at a massive 90/1 which is huge when you consider that last weekend they were 45/1 to beat Wigan by that same scoreline. Despite the long odds there will still be punters backing this in the hope of winning big. It'll mark a league and cup double for Carlo Ancelotti's team should they see off Pompey, Chelsea are big odds on shots at 1/5 to win inside 90 minutes and an even bigger 1/10 to lift the FA Cup. So it's the bets with more value that will sway fans this weekend.

 

Portsmouth have nothing to lose, everyone is expecting them to get beat but the same people expected Spurs to beat Pompey in the Semi-Finals. Their manager Avram Grant, former Chelseaboss would love to get one over his former employers, they are 12/1 to cause an upset and 11/2 to take it to extra time.

It's little surprise that the scorer markets are dominated by the free scoring Chelsea boys; Didier Drogba loves scoring at Wembley and leads the first scorer market at 13/5. His opposite number for Pompey, Aruna Dindane is a massive 10/1 to score the opener. You have to believe there will be goals in the match purely on the basis of Chelsea's record, Frank Lampard finished on a high he's available at 4/1 or 11/1 for a Cup Final Hat-trick. Kevin Prince Boateng relished his penalty against Spurs and could carry value at 20/1 for a first goal in the final.

Chelsea beat Pompey home and away this season winning 5-0 at Fratton Park, that's 16/1 for a repeat at Wembley. There's going to be some big scorelines backed in this cup final and people will be backing Chelsea to break the record at 90/1 for a 7-0.

 

If Pompey are to win they'll need to play the game of their lives but anything can happen in a final and that's why everyone loves the FA Cup. Nobody expected Pompey to beat Spurs 2-0 but they did that in the semi finals whether they can repeat that feat in the final remains to be seen but Paddy Power are offering 175/1 on it.
