What is the England Community Shield?
The England Community Shield is a match that takes place in early August at Wembley Stadium. The two teams who compete in this game are the Premier League champions and the FA Cup winners. If a team has completed the domestic double in the previous season, then the match takes place between the top two teams in the Premier League.
Although the Community Shield is largely considered to be the curtain-raiser to herald the start of a new football season, it’s a popular betting contest, with football fans finally getting a chance to bet on Premier League teams competing against each other.
The 2019 Community Shield match takes place between Manchester City and Liverpool who were the leading teams in the 2018/19 Premier League season and there will be millions of bets placed on this encounter that is scheduled for Sunday 4 August.
Manchester City won the 2018/19 domestic double and will be slight favourites to win, although Liverpool won the 2019 Champions League title and will hope to secure the first piece of silverware of the season.
How to Bet on the Community Shield
The English Community Shield is a one-off match and therefore you can mainly bet on match markets. You can choose to bet on the Wembley spectacular before the game kicks off or alternatively go for the In-Play markets so that you can bet live as the odds change on a frequent basis.
Naturally, both teams who participate in the Community Shield match are still putting the finishing touches to their pre-season preparation and you might therefore expect the game to be less hotly-contested than a typical Premier League match although you can place bets in exactly the same way.
