Soccer Pick Preview
An very intersting match for online betting is our soccer pick: Arsenal vs Manchester City in ENGLAND: Premier League.
Just three days after being thoroughly beaten 3-0 by Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley, Arsenal host their Wembley conquerors at The Emirates, rounding out matchday 28 in the Premier League (PL).
Without a win in four head to head PL games against City, Arsenal desperately need to turn that stat around. They are currently eight points behind Chelsea in the important fourth place, and need to turn this game in hand into three points to cut that distance to five points.
The Gunners’ performances against the other top teams this season, however, does not bode well. In eight games, they’ve only managed to win once (2-0 against Tottenham), drawing four and losing three.
Though conceding that it will be a difficult task for Arsenal to beat City after the cup loss, Arsenal midfielder Aaron Ramsey is ready to get down to business against the English champions-elect again, saying: “This is not how we wanted it to go, but we have to dust ourselves down now and get going for the game on Thursday.”
Despite their wonderful season so far, City have been showing some signs of being mortal in recent weeks: they’ve won none of their last three away PL games!
Soccer Picks Players
Arsenal’s new star striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has settled in quickly, and found the net in his first appearance at the Emirates Stadium so far.
City’s Sergio Aguero has 21 PL goals so far, and he has now scored in his last four games against Arsenal. A goal today would anoint him as the first City player in the PL era (1992-present) to score in FIVE consecutive games against the Gunners.
Soccer Picks Strategy
Six of Arsenal’s last seven PL games have seen over 2.5 goals. In fact, across those games a total of 31 goals have been scored – 4.43 on average per match!
City have so far found the net at least once in 12 out of 13 away matches in the PL, and they’ve score at least twice in nine of 13.
Early bird gets the worm. When in front at half time at The Emirates this season (eight occasions so far), Arsenal have won all of their games.
