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 The Citizens who could consider themselves fortunate if they run away with a point in the bag.

The Gunners are coming off from a textbook 0:1 victory in the previous round against Wolverhampton Wanderers . The first half was slightly unfocused, but they managed to walk away with an away win after a solid second-half performance.

The away team are coming on the back of a strong performance at home. Premier League betting odds put them on equal footing with their opponents Chelsea, and the two teams remained in a stalemate for more than half the game. City completely dominated the second half, though, securing a $RESULT lead by the end.

One way or the other, games with Arsenal are rarely boring. They’ve consistently scored in every match for the last seven rounds.

The Citizens netted 11 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The Gunners are in a Champions League qualifying spot with a decent shot to become first in the standings. Still, this match can go either way, and they’ll need to be careful not to be toppled by other competitors as the season heats up.

With close to half of the season behind us, The Sky Blues are looking fairly strong. They’re still in contention for the title, being number 4th in the standings. The Gunners are one of the harder challenges they have to face if they wish to move up, though.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Arsenal being seen as the favourites.

Sunday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 3.49 odds offer a decent return.
