Betting on Arsenal
Mikel Arteta’s team utilized their postponed midweek game against Everton to their advantage, securing a 4-0 victory and increasing the gap between them and Manchester City, their closest title competitors, to five points. They aim to further extend their lead against a team they have defeated in nine of their 12 previous official meetings.
Furthermore, the Gunners have won all five of their Premier League home games against Bournemouth, and they are likely to continue their winning streak at Emirates Stadium, where they have lost only one of their 12 matches this season.
In addition, Arsenal has the second-best defense in the English top flight and has proven it in their last two games, winning without conceding goals. These results are part of a current streak of three consecutive victories.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Leandro Trossard, Gabriel Martinelli.
Betting on Bournemouth
Bournemouth’s return to the top flight this season has been challenging, and they are on the brink of a swift return to the Championship. They will begin this matchday in the relegation zone and are only three points away from the bottom of the table. Despite this, they understand that there is still hope, as they are just one point away from safety.
However, this task is easier said than done, especially considering their recent form. Bournemouth has only won one of their last 11 official matches (with two draws and eight defeats).They have earned only eight of their 21 points away from home, which is the worst record in the league, having conceded 32 goals in the process.
Their offensive struggles are also apparent, with just 22 goals scored in 24 games this campaign. Despite this, Bournemouth has scored in five of their last seven games against Arsenal, which could potentially boost their confidence heading into the upcoming match.
Probable lineup (5-3-2): Neto; Adam Smith, Jack Stephens, Chris Mepham, Marcos Senesi, Jordan Zemura; Dango Quattara, Jefferson Lerma, Philip Billing; Hamed Traoré, Dominic Solanke.
JefeBet Prediction
The gap between the two teams is not only apparent in their rankings but also in their performances on the pitch. Bournemouth will face a significant challenge in attempting to penetrate a solid Arsenal defense, despite their efforts.
They must also aim to keep a clean sheet against an Arsenal team that has been dominant in attack, scoring nine goals in their last three league games.
Furthermore, playing at Emirates Stadium only adds to Bournemouth’s difficulty. This season, only Manchester City has managed to win there, which is why we anticipate another strong performance from Arteta’s team, resulting in a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Arsenal Asian Handicap (ARS 3-0 BOU).
