Arsenal and Tottenham featured the most exciting game of the weekend this Sunday at the Emirates Stadium. The Gunners stole the 2nd spot to Tottenham in the last round of the 2015/2016 Premier League, which makes this a very interesting and emotional game.
Arsenal shares the Premier League lead with Manchester City while Tottenham is three points away in the 5th place. Therefore, this game can make things much closer or create a bigger gap between these two teams.
Both were involved in midweek games for the UEFA Champions League. Arsenal played on Tuesday against Ludogorets while Tottenham faced Bayer Leverkusen on Wednesday. Although Arsenal’s extra rest day, the travel to Bulgaria makes things quite balanced between the two teams in this department.
If things are similar in terms of tiredness, we can’t say the same in terms of the team’s confidence. Arsenal featured a tremendous turnaround in Bulgaria from 0-2 to 3-2 while on the other hand, Tottenham continues their bad results with a 0-1 defeat at White Hart Lane.
The recent head-to-head between these two shows several draws with both teams scoring. This is one of the reasons why this market offers such a low price, an average of 1.69 that is not enough for us to get involved.
The odds on Arsenal were perfect to take a few days ago before Spurs’ defeat in the UCL and although the recent drop, there is still some value.
Tottenham is experiencing some problems with injuries and suspensions. Although Harry Kane’s possible return, Sissoko’s suspension is a tough blow for the Spurs.
Looking now to the winners market, Arsenal is our choice for this game. Betvictor presents a great line, -0.25 Asian Handicap at 1.73 which deserves a big play. If you want to take a higher risk then Arsenal’s straight victory at 1.95 Pinnacle is the best option.
The anytime goalscorers market also presents some great value on Arsenal’s side. Alexis Sanchez and Olivier Giroud can solve any game and the bookmakers offer a very generous price for them to score.
We’ll take this opportunity to back both players to score on this game. Giroud is at 2.50 while the Chilean striker is at 2.62, both odds from the green listed bookmaker Coral.
