Arsenal - Manchester City predictions

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

An away win in this match would be a huge surprise and an equally big achievement for City who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

Arsenal quickly emerged as the dominant side in their previous Premier League showdown, which was hardly a surprise given the 1.44 odds on them winning. They easily confirmed what most predictions were expecting and recorded a 3:0 win.

City gave the fans at their home stadium quite a show in their previous game against Manchester United, snagging a decisive 3:0 victory. The victory itself was somewhat predictable, but the first-half lead and notable lead speaks volumes about their form.

The Gunners have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

We’re going into round 5 of this year’s competition, and The Gunners are looking quite well off. They’re just 3 points behind the current table leaders and heading into a relatively safe match.

The visitors are at a clear disadvantage in a matchup like this, so moving up from their current table position doesn’t seem likely. They’re currently sitting at spot number 8th. On the bright side, most of the season is yet to be played, so they may realize their Europa ambitions yet.

Arsenal have a relatively recent victory on record against The Sky Blues. It happened last season, but they managed to secure a hefty goal difference as well. With that in mind, their position as the favourites in this matchup makes a lot of sense.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.85 at Pncl.
