Arsenal vs. Tottenham Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Arsenal?

Something is happening to Arsenal. It seems that Mikel Arteta’s team has run out of fuel. Despite sitting in second place, the London side is far from the level they displayed in the last two seasons, where they finished as runners-up.

This weekend, they were eliminated from the FA Cup after losing 3-5 in penalties versus Manchester United. Notably, Martin Odegaard missed a penalty in the 72nd minute, and Diogo Dalot was sent off in the 61st minute.

In the league, Arsenal is second with 40 points, six behind Liverpool, who have a game in hand. They have 11 wins and two losses, but what has hurt them are their seven draws. At home, they remain unbeaten with six wins and three draws. They boast the third-best attack in the league with 39 goals and the best defense, having conceded only 18.

Adding to Bukayo Saka’s long-standing injury, Gabriel Jesus who had regained excellent form will now miss the rest of the season. Additionally, Ben White, Riccardo Calafiori, Takehiro Tomiyasu, and Ethan Nwaneri are also in the medical department.

Why Bet on Tottenham?

Tottenham’s season has been a major disappointment. With 24 points, they sit in 12th place, having suffered more defeats (10) than victories (7). A team built to compete for a Champions League spot now finds itself closer to the relegation zone than anything else.

They’ve managed just one win in their last seven matches and lost five. They are winless in their previous four league games, having lost to Newcastle (1-2), Nottingham Forest (1-0), and Liverpool (3-6), with a draw against Wolverhampton (2-2).

Despite their struggles, Tottenham has a strong offensive presence, scoring 42 goals the second-highest in the league behind Liverpool (47). However, their defensive woes are evident, conceding 30 goals, the eighth-worst record in the league. This average of 1.5 goals conceded per game is alarmingly high for the Spurs, as they’ve only kept a clean sheet in three Premier League matches.

The goals have been spread among several players, with James Maddison leading the way with eight, followed by Brennan Johnson and Dominic Solanke, who have seven each.

Ange Postecoglou faces a tough challenge in assembling his squad, as several key players are injured or suspended. These include Guglielmo Vicario, Fraser Forster, Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, Destiny Udogie, Ben Davies, Rodrigo Bentancur, Wilson Odobert, and Richarlison.
