Arsenal Vs Spurs: Betting Odds

The North London derby. The one game that all gunners don’t want to lose and the one game where Arsenal have done well historically. Wenger’s men have struggled with injuries as of late, and the squad is massively depleted. However, results have been good, especially in the Premier League. Wenger’s men will take confidence from recent form into Sunday’s game.

The bookies see Arsenal as fairly heavy favorites, pricing the Gunners at 7/10 on. While this may seem a little short, Arsenal have historically done well against Spurs, especially at home, and in their current form, not much of an argument can be made otherwise. Mauricio Pochettino has certainly got his team playing, and he has allowed young players to flourish in his system, including starting Eric Dier and Dele Alli in the all important holding midfield role.

However, the bet I really like this week is Giroud to score and Arsenal to win at 2/1. That is a lovely price for a team so high on confidence and  a player struggling to not score right now. If backing the enemy takes your fancy, Kane to score and Spurs to win at 8/1 is a very generous price, but betting beyond the draw is a brave move. Arsenal at 7/10 has to be the sensible bet, but the draw at 3/1 is a tempting offer. Spurs are playing well, but at the Emirates it’s difficult to see them winning. A draw is possible but the Arsenal victory is the bet here, especially with Giroud grabbing a goal.
