Manchester City vs Arsenal Betting Tips
We’ve got a very attractive Premier League fixture on Wednesday 17 June in the form of Manchester City against Arsenal, with Mikel Arteta returning to the club where he was part of the coaching team only a few months ago.
Since then, the Spaniard has taken charge at the Emirates Stadium and contracted COVID-19, with this occurrence leading to the Premier League hastening their bid to end all football fixtures for the foreseeable future.
Now Arteta is fit and well along with his Gunners squad and they’re likely to make the trip to the north-west to play against a Manchester City team who are resigned to finishing in second place this season.
Incredibly, Arsenal have only won two away games in the Premier League all season, with eight of their games being draws and the other three ending in defeat.
However, there’s little doubt that Arteta’s aim to make the team harder to beat was working until the lockdown, with the Gunners unbeaten in the top flight in 2020 and some of their recent away performances were strong including a 2-2 draw at Chelsea.
This looks to be a tricky encounter on paper considering that Manchester City can be devastating at the Etihad Stadium, although they’ve not quite hit the heights of last season and they’ve actually dropped points in four of their home matches this season. We're reluctant to include a home win in our betting tips as a result.
While Pep Guardiola’s side are rightfully favourites in the betting to win this clash, we think that they might be a little rusty after the restart and it could be worth siding with a stubborn Arsenal side on the Handicap market. Arsenal would need to avoid defeat by two goals or more in order for this bet to cop.
However, our prediction is that the visitors can keep things tight and it might not be a bad time to be meeting a team who have very little to keep them motivated in the Premier League other than to make sure they finish second behind Liverpool.
