Tottenham Hotspurs vs Arsenal

Tottenham Hotspurs fans would be hoping that Gareth Bale fires again

This game will be enjoyed by millions Sunday afternoon. It is of course a massive derby game but the result of this game can have a defining impact on both bid for Champions League football next season. Tottenam are currently 3rd on 51 points, where as Arsenal are currently 5th on 47 points; illustrating the importance of this match other than the personal, fierce rivalry itself.

Head to head between the two sides; Arsenal have the slight edge. In 163 matches: Arsenal have won 68 (41.72%) of games, Tottenham have won 51 (31.29%) and 44 (26.99%) of games have been draws. Picking a winner in this game is always proves difficult, but arguably more so for this game as both sides are in good form in league, having both won their last 3 games.

The goalscorers markets may be worth viewing. Gareth Bale is on hot form and you can get him to score first at around 9/2 and to score anytime at 11/10. Alternatively, you may want to be looking at Arsenal’s man of the moment Carzola, who has scored three in his last two Premiership performances. He is to 9/1 to score first and 3/1 to score anytime.

For our recommendation, the shrewdest and most likely markets would be in the ‘goals’ category. Both teams have a lot at stake in this game; Tottenham want to edge closer to securing their Champions League spot whereas Arsenal are fighting to claim a place for the same competition.

The last seven games between the two sides have seen both teams score and have also seen at least 3 goals. This game is usually very open and I expect an end to end game with so much at stake for both sides. Both teams to score pays around 4/7, over 2.5 goals; around 8/13 but I am going to recommend over 3.5 goals which pays best at 9/5 with BetVictor. The game earlier this season was a 5-2 victory to Arsenal and the value of odds to see at least 4 goals in this game is excellent.

Recommendation:
Over 3.5 goal pays best 9/5 with BetVictor: Free £10 no desposit for slots games and a free £25 bet.
