Betting on Arsenal F.C.
Arsenal have gradually been losing ground on the Premier League leadership, one that they can regain outright this Wednesday when they host their main title rivals.
With 51 points won from 21 games played, the Gunners lead the English league by three points over Manchester City, who have a game in hand.
Mikel Arteta’s side is unbeaten at home with 26 points from 10 games and is the second club with the most goals scored at home with 26.
In addition, Arsenal is the second lowest-scoring team in the tournament with 18 goals conceded and has not allowed more than two goals in any game at home.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Aaron Ramsdale; Ben White, William Saliba, Gabriel, Oleksandr Zinchenko; Martin Odegaard, Thomas Partey, Granit Xhaka; Bukayo Saka, Eddie Nketiah, Gabriel Martinelli.
Betting on Manchester City
Despite not having lived up to expectations, the team is still competing for the Premier League and has a fantastic opportunity on Wednesday to pursue Arsenal.
In addition to trailing the Gunners by three points with 48 points, City also has one more game remaining on their schedule than their opponents with 22 games played.
The good news for Pep Guardiola’s side, apart from the home side’s slight slump, is that they have already won a big game at the Emirates Stadium this year and have triumphed in four of their last five matches at the stadium.
The Citizens, who have performed poorly away from home, should be motivated by this: even though their 17 points in 10 games is the sixth-best total in the league, they need to perform better if they want to compete for the championship.
Possible Lineup (3-2-4-1): Ederson; Ruben Dias, Kyle Walker, Aymeric Laporte; Rodri, Ilkay Gündogan; Kevin De Bruyne, Bernardo Silva, Riyad Mahrez, Jack Grealish; Erling Haaland.
JefeBet Prediction
It’s possible that their recent FA Cup match served as a preview of what we may expect on Wednesday at the Emirates Stadium. We’re in for a really competitive game between the two top clubs in the challenging Premier League, with a lot on the line. It will be important for Arsenal to regain confidence in front of goal, as they have only scored one goal in their last three official matches, while City have lost two away matches in a row.
Additionally, it’s worth remembering that these teams are the two best scorers in the championship and have two of the three best defenses in the league.
Prediction: Both teams score (ARS 1 – MCI 1).
