Arsenal - Chelsea predictions

Betting odds can be illusive at times and Chelsea are more than capable of pulling an upset. However, Arsenal should have a clear path to victory if they stick to the plan.

Chelsea appear severely unprepared for a clash with The Gunners, to the point of being considered hard underdogs. We would consider even a draw a success, so the long 4.54 odds for an away win bit seem fitting.

Few people would have expected The Gunners to trail at halftime in their last match knowing they were firm favourites (1.75) to secure a win. That being said, the 1:1 draw came somewhat unexpectedly.

The visitors are coming off from a slightly underwhelming result in the previous round of the Premier League. They did beat Leicester City, but struggled to get their foot in front during the first half and ended up grabbing three points thanks to a slim, one-goal margin (1:0).

The home-pitch advantage appears to be quite important for The Gunners. Their last 3 fixtures at home were crowned by more than 5 goals in total.

Based on their recent performance, Chelsea’s largest issue seems to be defence, especially in away games. With 8 conceded goals in their 3 previous visiting matches, Over 3.5 Goals markets seem like a solid betting option.

Among the best-placed teams in the season so far, the home team should be able to earn points here. They’ll need another 15 points in total to reach the table leaders, though.

With 29 games already behind them, The Blues place as one of the most successful teams this season. They’re currently number 4th in the standings, which could eventually get them to the Champions League. However, they’ll have to be careful not to stumble now – they’ll be fighting an uphill battle this Sunday in Emirates Stadium.

This matchup has been consistently ending in a draw throughout the current season. Arsenal played against The Blues on several occasions in multiple different competitions, and never managed to gain the upper hand despite being considered favourites.

With no injuries or suspensions to deal with, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.93 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
