The term David v Goliath is used far too often in sport, but Sydney FC’s friendly against Premier League champions Chelsea is surely no stretch.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has reflected the difference in class between the two clubs by pricing Chelsea’s star-studded line-up as the $1.30 favourites and 90% of money has been placed on them.
Sydney FC are at $8.00 although they may fancy their chances of jagging a draw at $5.50 if Jose Mourinho’s side enjoy the sights of the harbour city too much in the short lead-up to tomorrow night’s match.
“To understand the gulf between these two clubs, look no further than the first goalscorer market where the top 7 picks are all Chelsea players headed by Diego Costa at $4.50,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
