Arsenal - Tottenham Hotspur predictions

Arsenal are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.40, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Tottenham Hotspur are given 7.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

The Gunners fans are hoping for a better outing than what they were shown in the previous bout at Brighton & Hove Albion . The team was close to an expected away win, but couldn’t hold on to their advantage in the later stages of the game and ended up settling for a 1:1 draw.

Tottenham Hotspur quickly fell behind in their previous Premier League outing and ended up losing the match 1:2. A victory on their end would have been highly surprising considering the 1.80 betting odds with top online bookmakers, though, so the one-goal difference at the end was not as bad as it might seem.

Interestingly, the hosts’ recent track record claims they’ve made over 5 goals in the latest 3 games they played as visitors. Playing at home presumably gives them an advantage, so Tottenham Hotspur’s defenders will need to tread lightly.

The most relevant bit of history we have for Spurs is their high concession rate at recent home games. After more than 5 goals conceded in 3 games, their fans have warranted concerns over the squad’s defensive performance.

The Gunners are definitely one of the season’s title challengers. We’re well into round 21 at this point, and they’re just 6 points behind the current table leaders. Them winning this showdown is a rather safer prediction, too.

It will be interesting to see if Spurs manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with Arsenal this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

With zero injuries reported across the board, this is shaping up to be an exciting outing indeed. Both teams will have their complete squads at their disposal, so we can fully expect them to bring their A-game.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
