TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR VS ARSENAL: BETTING TIPS
TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: D – W – D – L – W
Tottenham Hotspur put in a gallant effort in their last Premier League fixture by going to Anfield and earning themselves a point – something most teams in the league have failed to do. Antonio Conte trusted his players’ abilities to play out from the back. By coaxing the Liverpool players out of their position, Spurs were able to exploit space and get themselves on the scoresheet in a game that ended 1-1.
The goal scored by Son was something that the Italian coach would have worked on in training, aimed specifically at exploiting those areas behind the midfield and overloading the wings and creating chances. You can see how it all went down at Anfield here.
In the reverse fixture between the London sides, Arsenal won 3-1 at the Emirates thanks to a brilliant first-half performance from the home side in which they scored three goals. Since then, a lot has changed for Tottenham. A change of manager later, Tottenham find themselves in a steadied ship pushing for a top-four place which comes with Champions League football.
Tottenham are at 20/7 (3.85) to win to nil, with Son to score anytime at 13/10 (2.30).
We are also pricing a halftime draw, with Tottenham winning the second half at 43/10 (5.30).
Tottenham to score first in the game at 5/7 (1.72).
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Lloris, Romero, Dier, Davies, Emerson, Bentancur, Hojbjerg, Sessegnon, Kulusevski, Kane and Son
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS: Tanganga, Doherty, Reguilon and Skipp
ARSENAL
PREMIER LEAGUE FORM: W – W – W – W – L
Arsenal are back on it lately. Wins against Chelsea 4-2, Manchester United 3-1, West Ham United 2-1 and Leeds United 2-1 have left the Gunners in a commanding position, just one point away from the top three.
Against Leeds, the Gunners quickly came out of the blocks, scoring twice in the space of ten minutes thanks to their young gun, Eddie Nketiah. Leeds were taken aback by the home side’s relentless display, committing many mistakes as they proved unable to handle the pressure imposed. You can watch the game highlights here.
Mikel Arteta’s transformation of his side has given them a great chance of getting back into the Champions League – a prospect that can attract many talented players to join the side this summer. For Arsenal supporters, this is the first time after the departure of Wenger that they can look into the future with optimism as faith in the youth has paid dividends.
Lately, the Gunners have scored numerous times in the opening minutes of a game, and we are pricing a goal to be scored by Arsenal between the 1-15 minutes at 13/2 (7.50)
Saka to score anytime during the match is priced at 59/20 (3.95), with an Arsenal win and over 2.5 goals scored at 15/4 (4.75).
A commanding victory for the Gunners winning both halves is priced at 41/10 (5.10)
PREVIOUS GAME LINEUP: Ramsdale, Cedric, Holding, Gabriel, Tomiyasu, Elneny, Xhaka, Saka, Odegaard, Martinelli and Nketiah
INJURIES OR SUSPENSIONS: Tierney and Partey
