Southampton - Arsenal betting tips and odds

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

Having a 1.60 selection on your slip can be a big boost to your potential winnings and with Arsenal largely expected to beat Southampton, you’d be wise to use it.

Southampton faced off against AFC Bournemouth in the previous round. Most betting predictions favoured AFC Bournemouth due to the home-field advantage, but the visitors did well to take an early lead in the first half and claw their way towards a hairpin victory (0:1).

Looking over the visitors and their recent history, we noticed they’ve scored more than 5 goals in their previous 3 appearances. This signals a consistent ability to score in most matchups, which is good news for their supporters.

With just 2 points between them and the relegation zone, The Saints can’t be too happy with how the season started. To make matters worse, earning new points in this match is highly unlikely.

Arsenal will be looking to maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table. They started the new season on a right foot and will be looking to keep the momentum going with another three points. Seeing that bookmakers priced them at 1.60 definitely makes it worthwhile.

The Gunners recorded a decisive victory over The Saints in the previous season. Although these results are somewhat outdated at this point, the 2+ goal lead at the end of the match is enough for the bookies to price an away win this Sunday at 1.60.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.67 odds offered at Betsson.
