Wrexham vs Chelsea FA Cup Betting Tips, Bet Builder Predictions & Odds
Wrexham welcome top-flight opposition to the Racecourse Ground for the second time this campaign, having already stunned Premier League side Nottingham Forest in the FA Cup back in January.
That tie finished 2–2 before Wrexham prevailed in the penalty shootout, but the challenge awaiting them this weekend looks even steeper.
Home form hasn’t been entirely watertight for the Welsh side. They’ve suffered five defeats on their own turf across league and cup competitions this season, and their defence has been breached three times in a match on six different occasions — twice in cup games alone.
That said, Phil Parkinson’s men rarely leave the pitch without making an attacking contribution. Wrexham have found the net in 16 of their last 17 matches in all competitions, while three of their previous four fixtures have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.
Chelsea arrive in North Wales in solid form, having picked up eight victories from their last 12 matches in all competitions and looking fluid in a 4-1 away win at Aston Villa.
Goals haven’t been a problem, with the London club scoring at least three times in 14 games already this season. However, defensive solidity has been less consistent, with just three clean sheets recorded in those high-scoring outings.
Let’s take a look at the best football betting tips for Saturday night’s FA Cup tie in Wrexham.
Wrexham vs Chelsea Tips
We’ve got three betting tips for the game and the latest odds from our free bet betting sites.
Tip 1: Chelsea to win and both teams to score
Chelsea are looking like a good, fluid attacking team under the new leadership of Liam Rosenior, but still have a few hang-ups in a defence that always seems to be changing.
The Blues have kept just one clean sheet in their last 10 outings — a 4-0 win over Hull City in the last round of the FA Cup — and a confident Wrexham should be able to breach the Chelsea defence at least once.
But Chelsea have plenty of talented options in the attacking third of the pitch and should be able to blow Wrexham away in a couple of purple patches throughout the 90 minutes.
Tip 2: Liam Delap to score 2 or more goals
Joao Pedro’s impressive hat-trick against Aston Villa on Wednesday has probably earned the Brazilian a rest this weekend.
Liam Delap should deputise up front, attempting to build on his trio of assists in the last round against Hull City.
Delap is a handful up front when he is able to get into goalscoring positions, and his size and strength could well see him to a brace of goals at the Racecourse.
Tip 3: Pedro Neto to score from outside the box
After serving a ban following his red card against Arsenal, Pedro Neto will be expected to start against Wrexham as Chelsea continue to rotate their busy squad.
Neto has blown hot and cold throughout the season, but is always confident enough to take on defenders and shoot from range.
If anyone is willing to swing a leg at a half chance from outside the box, then Neto is well worth a look at a tempting 11/1.
