Southampton - Arsenal betting tips and odds

Southampton have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 3.10 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Arsenal are heading into what’s surely be a challenge. Southampton are not to be taken lightly and an away victory would certainly be a big success for the visitors.

The Saints’s previous Premier League match did not go their way, but not even the most stubborn fans would have predicted a different result against a team as strong as Leicester City . They played as visitors, and the top online bookmakers priced an away win at 5.20. They never recovered from some early concessions, and the score was brought to a conclusive 2:0 result before the end.

The Gunners bagged a relatively easy 3:0 victory against Newcastle United in their previous Premier League match. The fans at their home stadium were treated to an uneventful showing in the first half followed by complete annihilation in the second.

Southampton’s home games tend to not feature a lot of goals. Two of their most recent matches at St. Mary's Stadium ended with less than 2 goals at the end whistle.

Arsenal netted 7 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 Saints’s ambitions at this time are limited to moving up to a Europa League qualification spot, for which they’ll need 4 points. This is easier said than done, though.

The best choice for this fixture is quite easy to figure out – an Under 2.5 Goals bet at the odds of 1.85. It’s an almost guaranteed win that’s not too bad in the value department either.
