EPL predictions for Arsenal vs Tottenham
My best bet:
Arsenal to score 1-2 goals (-122 at TonyBet)
My analysis
The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is always one of the Premier League’s standout games.
For both teams, it’s a game that gives them a chance to end a bad spell. The hosts got knocked out of the FA Cup on Sunday and haven’t won any of their past three. While Spurs toiled in their FA Cup victory over non-league Tamworth, the Premier League has been less kind, with Tottenham managing one draw and three defeats in their past four, leaving manager Ange Postecoglou under real pressure.
Taking Arsenal to score 1-2 goals is quite a specific wager, but it makes sense for several reasons.
The majority of Arsenal games in the Premier League have seen the team scoring either one or two goals, doing so 11 times in 20 games, and that number sits at five in nine at home.
Two of the past three games in all competitions have seen Arsenal score a solitary goal. The only exception was a 2-0 Carabao Cup defeat to Newcastle but Eddie Howe’s team are far better defensively than Spurs, as evidenced by conceding eight fewer goals in the league this season.
Injuries also play a role when it comes to capping the scoring output at two.
They’re missing Ben White at right back and are likely to play Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber at fullback. Calafiori is good on the ball but has yet to show the playmaking we saw in Italy, while Timber isn’t an attacking fullback.
Star Bukayo Saka is out and they simply don’t look like the same team without him on the pitch. Missing Gabriel Jesus and youngster Ethan Nwaneri also deprives them of attacking potential.
While the Gunners will score against an inconsistent Tottenham defense also missing bodies, we’re not going to see a vintage Arsenal performance thanks to recent form and the medical report. With that in mind, it’s a relatively safe bet for the Gunners to finish the game with either one or two tallies.
Arsenal vs Tottenham same-game parlay (SGP)
Arsenal team total Under 2.5
Both teams to score - Yes
Arsenal Over 5.5 corners
We can’t use our best bet for this SGP, so we’re going for something comparable at Under Arsenal's team total of 2.5.
Arsenal have only seen the opposition scoring in four of nine home games in the Premier League. However, they allowed Manchester United to score in the FA Cup this past Sunday, and with Spurs being the second-highest-scoring team in the Premier League, we can expect the away team to find the back of the net.
Arsenal have averaged 6.25 corners per game in the Premier League season and that rises to 8.44 in their home games. Arsenal are well above the line of 5.5 corners here, especially on home soil, so it should be covered.
