Arsenal Current Form – DWWWD

Arsenal would have breathed a sigh of relief after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Manchester United, having dropped points themselves against Brighton following a contentious penalty goal scored by Joao Pedro. A win would have reduced the gap between themselves and Arne Slot’s men to within four points before the latter’s encounter with United.

Nevertheless, their run in the Premier League has been good with an unbeaten record in five games and eleven points won, placing them six points behind Liverpool who have a game in hand. They’ve only played twice at home though, drawing with a stubborn Everton team who held them 1-1 and held on to a 1-0 lead to win over Ipswich.

Suggested Bets

1. Handicap – Arsenal (-0.5): A negative handicap will give Postecoglou’s men a half goal advantage to begin the game with, but with such a poor defensive record, the hosts are a sure fit for one or two goals and with any type of draw or a win for them, the market will result. (7/25 with Sportsbet.io).

2. Both Teams to Score – Yes: Although Arsenal have a strong defensive setup, their visitors have the ability to find the back of the net and cannot keep goals out of their own net. Therefore, looking at this match, it will be free-scoring with goals on either side. Both teams to score will definitely result. (59/100 with Sportsbet.io).

3. First Team to Score – Arsenal: In all five of their previous games, the hosts scored first and either went on to win or draw after ninety minutes. That historical context and Tottenham’s poor form inform our analysis on this bet. (1/4 with Sportsbet.io).

Value Bets

1. First Half Both Teams to Score – Yes: Both teams will come out the blocks real quick looking to score first to have a hold on the game and as such we tip both of them to score in the first half. (51/20 with BC.Game)

2. Both Teams to Score in Both Halves – Yes: We think this will be a high-scoring game with chances of both sides scoring in both halves as was the case in three out of five of their last head-to-head encounters. (38/5 with BC.Game).

3. Tottenham to Score in Both Halves – Yes: Their scoring ability is not in doubt, therefore, placing a bet on Tottenham scoring in both halves would be smart as they did so in three out of their five recent games. (22/5 with BC.Game).
