Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips for Tottenham vs. Arsenal at English Premier League
Arsenal comes into the North London derby following a magnificent victory over the other local rivals, Chelsea, and aims to win another three points. As for the Spurs, they, too, want the whole prey here because they, too, are in a must-win situation. While the Gunners chase the Premier League title, Tottenham is battling for the fourth spot in the standings, and the direct advance to the UEFA Champions League.
Tottenham
The Spurs have six points fewer than Aston Villa and also two games in hand, meaning they can’t allow any more points to be lost. A painful defeat against Newcastle at St. James’ Park is the last warning for Ange Postecoglou and his boys.
That 4-0 hammering was the first following three straight in which Tottenham took seven points, beating Luton and Nottingham, both at home, and playing 1-1 on the road against West Ham.
In terms of efficiency, Spurs’ matches are filled with goals, and just one over the recent ten didn’t include three or more goals. Seven of the matches during this streak saw both teams scoring as well.
Arsenal
The exit from the Champions League hurt the Gunners, but they managed to get back in the saddle with back-to-back victories in the Premiership. The first was against the Wolves on the road, 0-2, and the second was a 5-0 burst vs. Chelsea.
As you can see, things went back to normal, with the defense being superb and providing two clean sheets, while the offense did its part of the job flawlessly. This is excellent news for Mikel Arteta, whose boys are coming into the final phase of the season.
The Gunners played 17 Premiership games at home this season, winning 13, losing two and having two ties. Their attack delivered 43 goals, while the defense conceded 15.
Tottenham: Vicario; Emerson, Romero, Van de Ven, Davies; Bentancur, Bissouma; Johnson, Maddison, Werner; Son
Arsenal: Raya; White, Saliba, Gabriel, Tomiyasu; Odegaard, Jorginho, Rice; Saka, Havertz, Martinelli
Back in September, Arsenal and Tottenham played an interesting event at the Emirates Stadium, which saw no winners, 2-2. Romero (own goal) and Saka from the penalty netted for Arsenal, while Son scored twice for the guests, both on Maddison’s assist.
One more stat: four of the past five games saw over 2.5 goals, and in all of them, Arsenal netted at least twice.
The situation is complicated for both sides, but that doesn’t mean we won’t see high efficiency in this event. These teams are offensive-minded, and the foundation of their success is attack. That’s why picking over 2.5 goals is logical.
Our verdict: Over 2.5 goals
