Why Bet on Arsenal?

The locals have a slim lead over Manchester City with a game more, so the error margin is null. They have the best goal-scoring record and defense, being at the top of the table for some passages this season. There are arguments to say they have been the best team of the season, but their last setback against Aston Villa greatly hurt their chances. 

The Gunners record is 25 wins, five draws, and five losses. In addition, we must point out that they are the team in the top three with the most losses, and their low moments this season have been pretty obscure. Even if they have the best offense this campaign, it’s clear that the lack of a clear goal-scoring reference has hurt them sometimes.

Their three wins in a row include Chelsea and Wolves, apart from the aforementioned victory over Tottenham.

Why Bet on Bournemouth?

The 10th-placed Bournemouth comes from winning two in a row, in what has been a remarkable season for the Cherries. The team has had 13 wins, 9 draws, and 13 losses, great numbers considering their terrible start of the tournament, where they failed to land a win in the first two months.

Andoni Iraola’s team is closer to European competition places than the relegation zone, and they have a slim chance of displacing Newcastle (7th). However, they have to win all their remaining games, and that’s easier said than done having to face the leader.

The team has many standout points, but their brightest player is, undoubtedly, Dominic Solanke, as the English forward is fighting for the Golden Boot with 18 goals and has two in their last four games.

Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Bournemouth 

These two teams fancy the win, but their context is pretty different. Bournemouth is one of the most challenging teams in the Premier League currently, but they visit one of the hardest grounds in world football.

In the last 14 games between these two teams, there have been 11 victories for the Gunners, while the Cherries achieved one win and two draws. In that span, the Londoners scored 35 goals, while those from the South Coast got only 11.Their last match ended 0-4 in favor of Arsenal at the Vitality Stadium.

Bournemouth is one of the surprises of the season, but we believe the final result will be 3-0 in favor of the locals.

Go for a victory for the locals. If you bet $100 at 1.244, you’ll get $24.4 for a total payout of $1224.4.
