Arsenal v Hull Betting Tips and Prediction: FA Cup 3rd Round

​Arsenal v Hull betting tips and predictions for Sunday’s FA Cup 3^rd Round match with the best free expert football tips.

The third round of the FA cup has drawn a repeat of last year’s final as Arsenal entertain Steve Bruce’s Hull side.

Arsenal go into the match knowing that the FA cup is their only realistic hope of silverware this season, barring an unlikely Champions League run. Despite this, I expect the Arsenal team to sport an unfamiliar look to it against Hull that could see an upset on the cards. Colombian stopper David Ospina looks set to replace the calamitous Wojciech Szczęsny between the sticks and with the squad already decimated by injuries, it will be interesting to see how the Gunners line up.

As their 2-2 draw at The Emirates in the league shows, Hull certainly have the potential to cause Arsenal a number of problems. Given Arsenal’s terrible showing last time out against Southampton and Hull’s rejuvenated performances of late that have seen them pick up 2 wins from 3 in the Premiership, this game looks to be far from straight-forward for the defending FA Cup champions. 

History would appear to be in Arsenal’s favour however; losing just 1 of their last 38 home matches in the FA Cup. Furthermore, Hull have only managed 2 wins in their last 20 against top flight teams in the competition. October’s draw with Arsenal were the only points Hull have gleaned from the Gunners in 6 Premiership clashes since a 2-1 win at The Emirates in 2008.

Hull looked renewed and refreshed in their New Year’s Day victory over Everton and I expect them to use this momentum to give Arsenal a real run for their money. Arsenal looked to be suffering from a New Year’s Day hangover against Southampton with Szczęsny and Mertesacker being two of the worst performers.

Arsenal have scored in every home league game this season but have only managed to keep a clean sheet in 2 out of 9. For this reason, both teams to score is my first Arsenal v Hull betting tip for this match, the best odds of 9/10 are with Ladbrokes.

I am very hard pushed to pick a winner in this match as I don’t think it will be as straightforward as it seems on paper. Given Hull’s impressive draw in the corresponding league fixture and given Arsenal’s terrible defending at St Mary’s, my second football betting tip for this match is a draw. The best odds can be found with Betfair at 9/2.

The FA Cup is notorious for bringing out the extra passion and desire in the underdog and I can see Hull being really up for this game. Their previous two meetings, in the Cup final last year and in the league this year have produced 9 goals I can see the scoring continuing into this match. My final Arsenal v Hull betting tip is for over 3.5 goals to be scored. The best odds are 7/5 with BetVictor.
