Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions
Prediction
Arsenal 2, Tottenham 0
BET ARSENAL (-145).
When you look at the actual record, Arsenal and Tottenham are the same, but Arsenal has been more dominant, holding its opponent to 1 or fewer expected goals in 4 of 5 games.
Tottenham has allowed its opponent to top that mark in 3 of 5 games and has had fewer expected goals in 2 of 3. Arsenal has played well against Tottenham lately too, taking down its opponent in both games last season a combined 5-1.
At these odds, taking the home side presents good value. Back ARSENAL (-145).
LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+150).
The defenses here will be the best both sides have faced this season. Neither team has played a top-4 side. Tottenham has pitched 2 shutouts and has scored 2 goals in all but 1 game. Arsenal has 2 shutouts.
Throughout all competitions, it has had 3 shutouts in 7 matches. Arsenal won 3-1 and 2-0 last season, so this total would’ve been 1-1. The value in this game is on the Under. Take UNDER 2.5 (+150).
