Goalscorer Odds: Europa League Final (Chelsea vs Arsenal)

Arsenal are under pressure to secure Champions League football ahead of their Europa League final clash with London rivals Chelsea in Baku, Azerbaijan on Wednesday night.

Chelsea do not have to deal with that kind of pressure after they sealed Champions League football via a third-placed finish at the end of the latest Premier League season.

The Gunners have to beat Chelsea to qualify for Champions League next season since the Europa League winner will automatically qualify for the group stage of Europe’s premier club competition for next season’s Europa League.

Star strikers Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette will be crucial for the Gunners ahead of the game.

Both players scored all the seven goals as Arsenal overcame Spanish club Valencia 7-3 on aggregate in their semifinal tie.

Here are the first goalscorer odds (via Surebet247) for the Europa League final and the star strikers unsurprisingly feature.
