Arsenal v Stoke Betting Tips and Prediction

Football betting tips and predictions for Arsenal v Stoke City in Sunday’s Premier League match.

With half of the Premier League season already elapsed, who would have thought that just seven points would separate Arsenal from Stoke City? The Potters could close the gap to just four points with a win at the Emirates on Sunday.

In recent seasons Stoke City have proved to be a major bogey team for Arsenal, riling them up with fast pressing and their physical approach.  Stoke have not lost to Arsenal at the Brittania stadium since 2010, a run of 5 games unbeaten. However, playing at The Emirates poses a different challenge for them, not recording an away win against the Gunners since 1981. Furthermore, under the stewardship of Mark Hughes, their fast pressing physical style of play has been somewhat replaced by a less robust, prettier brand of football. Stoke have conceded the most amount of goals from set pieces this season in the Premier League (11 including penalties) and this number would have been unthinkable under the leadership of the ever-organised Tony Pulis.

 

Despite their abysmal track record away to Arsenal, Stoke have the potential to cause any team problems. Their away record is patchy and inconsistent, but highly commendable wins against Everton, Spurs and Man City prove that even away from The Britannia, Mark Hughes’ men have a good knack for upsetting the odds.

 

Last time out against Manchester United, Stoke showed grit and determination and could, with a tad more quality in front of goal, have taken all 3 points. However, quality in front of goal is what Arsenal have in abundance, especially at The Emirates this season. They have not failed to score a Premier League goal at home since their 0-0 draw against Man United in February 2014.

 

In Arsenal’s FA Cup tie against a weakened Hull team, they secured a comfortable passage through to the Fourth round. Alexis Sanchez was by far the best player on the park as he continued his magnificent goalscoring form for the Gunners with a well-taken effort from the edge of the box. The Chilean has scored 10 goals in 17 Premier League outings this term and I expect him to grab one against Stoke on Sunday. Odds of 4/1 can be found with Boylesports for Sanchez to be the first goalscorer.

 

I expect the game to be a highly competitive one and given Arsenal’s poor record of conceding home goals this season (10 goals in 9 games), as well as their fantastic record of scoring at home (18 in 10 games), I expect both teams to score.  Only 2 games from 9 at The Emirates have finished with both teams failing to score. Odds of 10/11 can be found with Betfred. 

 

Out of Arsenal’s 9 wins in the Premier League this season, 5 have been by a margin of exactly 1 goal and therefore my final tip is for Arsenal to win by exactly 1 goal.  Odds of 13/5 can be found with Ladbrokes.
