Arsenal v Manchester City Predictions and Football Betting Tips

Saturday night football showcases a pivotal match in the Premier League, as Man City travel to London to face Arsenal, and we have free football betting tips.

The red side of North London has descended into doom and gloom in the past couple of weeks. Arsenal have lost against Stoke, drawn at home to Swansea, thanks to a calamitous own goal in the 90th minute, and were hit for six at Stamford Bridge last Saturday.

So it comes as little surprise that Betfred are offering betting odds of 11/4 for a home win and Bet Victor are offering 13/5 for the draw. Man City however, will arrive on Saturday as a real force and off the back of an impressive midweek win in the Manchester derby, look good value at 11/10 with Paddy Power.

The matches involving the top teams in the Premier League are usually hard to predict and certain markets are a gamble. Edin Dzeko for instance, took 46 seconds to score the first goal on Tuesday night, and unless you backed him, that’s almost an instant loss. Manchester City should make a similar start on Saturday and attack with intent from the first whistle, especially as Arsenal have been vulnerable to this (Chelsea last week and away at Liverpool). I dipped into the goal brackets market for my first betting tip and I like William Hill’s odds of 19/10 for there to be a goal in the first 15 minutes.

Aresenal’s last four league matches have produced 16 goals, which makes a ratio of 4 goals per game. Three out of the four have all seen over 2.5 goals. Manchester City’s last four league matches have seen two less then Arsenal but that still makes 14 which is still a pretty impressive ratio. Of those four games, three of them have seen over 2.5, so surely this means we must be in for a goal fest at the Emirates? Well with The Gunners low on confidence and with City firing on all cylinders, then Ladbrokes odds of 19/10 for a City win and over 2.5 goals double looks a good shout.

The third and final football tip comes from a little background research in the recent meetings between these sides and is based on stats. Which has worked for me in my past previews, even though I haven’t sometimes agreed! There have been six red cards in the last seven meetings between these two sides, and five of those have come in the last three meetings at the Emirates alone. Betfair offer odds of 5/2 that they keep this run going on, and with players such as Flamini, Kompany and Demichelis on the pitch, late tackles and full blooded challenges will be plentiful.
