Arsenal vs. Monaco Betting Tips: Two bets for Emirates Cup clash I BettingOdds.com

Arsenal continue their pre-season tour on Wednesday against Monaco in the Emirates Cup.

This is Arsenal's second to last game of their tour and they’ll be hoping to build some momentum before the start of the Premier League season in just over a week's time.

We’ve taken a look at the betting market for this clash and picked out our best bets for the action.

Arsenal vs Monaco Tips

Over 1.5 goals in the first half

Arsenal games have been full of goals this pre-season with a 5-3 win over Barcelona, a 5-0 win over the MLS All-Stars, a 2-0 loss to Manchester United, and a 1-1 draw against Nurnberg. A lot of these goals have come in the first half of their games which is leading us to backing over 1.5 goals in the first half at 6/4.

Against Barcelona there was a whopping four goals in the first half of this match, against Manchester United there were two goals, and against the MLS All-Stars there were two. Against Nurnberg there was only one but even that is positive sign for this bet as it came in the 7th minute. 

Arsenal are the 1/2 favourites for this one and should be able to score a few goals, we’ve seen plenty of goals in their past fixtures so we’re hoping for a fast start on the goal front.

Arsenal to win and both teams to score

The BTTS and win market is becoming a staple for us at BettingOdds.com over pre-season and that’s mainly due to the sheer amount of goals we’re seeing in these friendlies. Arsenal won their last pre-season game 5-3 against Barcelona and we’ll be backing them to produce a similar outcome at 11/5.

The thinking behind this bet is Arsenal starting off strong in the first half and then eventually bringing on some more inexperienced players to see the game out and ultimately end up conceding to a stronger opposition. Pre-season is a game of two halves and I fancy Arsenal to win one of those halves and fall off.

For those following along best of luck and make sure to gamble responsibly.
