Paddy Power will refund losing First Goalscorer, Last Goalscorer, Correct Score and Scorecast singles on the match.
The Blues pulled off a huge upset by lifting the Champions League trophy in May, giving owner Roman Abramovich the one final piece of silverware he had been craving. They dumped out Barcelona in the semi-finals and then beat Bayern Munich on penalties – at the German club’s home – to become kings of Europe.
They now begin their defence against a side that has rarely tasted defeat in the past 18 months. Juve enjoyed an unbeaten domestic campaign as they won Serie A last time around, and they will be looking to take something from their opening group game at Stamford Bridge.
However, the bookies believe Chelsea have the edge. The reigning European champions are 6/5 to enjoy a victory in their first Champions League outing of the 2012/13 season, while Juventus can be backed at 12/5 to leave with all three points in the bag. The draw is available at odds of 12/5.
