Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Tottenham 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (-145).

When you look at the actual record, Arsenal and Tottenham are the same, but Arsenal has been more dominant, holding its opponent to 1 or fewer expected goals in 4 of 5 games.

Tottenham has allowed its opponent to top that mark in 3 of 5 games and has had fewer expected goals in 2 of 3. Arsenal has played well against Tottenham lately too, taking down its opponent in both games last season a combined 5-1.

At these odds, taking the home side presents good value. Back ARSENAL (-145).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 2.5 (+150).

The defenses here will be the best both sides have faced this season. Neither team has played a top-4 side. Tottenham has pitched 2 shutouts and has scored 2 goals in all but 1 game. Arsenal has 2 shutouts.

Throughout all competitions, it has had 3 shutouts in 7 matches. Arsenal won 3-1 and 2-0 last season, so this total would’ve been 1-1. The value in this game is on the Under. Take UNDER 2.5 (+150).

Arsenal vs. Manchester United odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Arsenal vs. Manchester United odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Arsenal (2 wins, 1 draw, 0 losses) welcomes Manchester United (2-0-1) to Emirates Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (NBC). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Manchester United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal beat Manchester City 1-1 (4-1 penalty kicks) in the FA Community Shield prior to the season. It then took down Nottingham Forest 2-1 and Crystal Palace 1-1 before drawing 2-2 at home against Fulham on Tuesday. The Reds are led by F Bukayo Saka, who is tied for a team-high 2 goals so far this season. M Martin Odegaard is the captain for Arsenal.

Man U lost its lone road game so far this season. It has scored 4 goals and allowed 4 goals through the 3 matches. United’s star in the attack is F Marcus Rashford, but he has yet to score this season. Four players have scored once for Man U, which beat the Wolves 1-0 and Nottingham Forest 3-2, both at home. It lost to Tottenham 2-0 on the road on Aug. 19. They finished 3rd on the EPL table a season ago and were 8-3-8 on the road.

Arsenal vs. Manchester United odds

  • Moneyline: Arsenal -130 (bet $130 to win $100) | Manchester United +300 (bet $100 to win $300) | Draw +300 (bet $100 to win $300)
  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +120 | U: -165)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Arsenal vs. Manchester United picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 3, Manchester United 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (-130).

Man U was not good on the road last season, and it is starting off that trend again for this season. United lost 8 of 19 road matches last season and lost their lone away game so far this year.

Arsenal is 1-1-0 at home and also showed its competence in a 1-1 (4-1 penalty kicks) win over Manchester City in the FA Community Shield. Arsenal finished 2nd in the EL last season and was a strong 14-3-2 at home. Expect it to come out and take care of business.

Back ARSENAL (-130).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 3.5 (+120).

With similar players on each side from last season, this game should replicate those. Last season, Arsenal beat Man U 3-2 at home then lost to it 3-1 on the road. Every game was high scoring as both Rashford and Saka are a couple of the most dominant forwards in the league.

Arsenal has scored in every game and scored 2 or more goals in 2 of 3 games. Man U has scored 4 goals in 3 games and put 3 on Nottingham Forest in its last match. Considering past trends for this matchup and both teams’ strong attacks, take OVER 3.5 (+120).

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Newcastle United (1 win, 0 draws, 1 loss) welcomes Liverpool (1-1-0) to St. James’ Park Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Newcastle went to Etihad Stadium to take on Manchester City last weekend and left with a 1-0 loss. It did end with 7 shots. Newcastle won its season-opening match at home 5-1 over Aston Villa. 23-year-old F Alexander Isak is the team’s key attacker, having scored 2 goals throughout the 2 matches. Newcastle ended last season with an 11-6-2 home record, winning 5 of its last 7 home matches.

Liverpool, a team with aspirations to win the league this season, drew Chelsea 1-1 on the road in its opener. It ended with 13 shots yet just 35% possession. It then beat Bournemouth 3-1 at home last weekend despite a 58th-minute red card. F Luis Diaz leads the team with 2 goals through the 2 matches, scoring the team’s only shot on frame in its opener. Liverpool was 6-5-8 on the road last season.

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool odds

  • Moneyline: Newcastle United +120 (bet $100 to win $120) | Liverpool +195 (bet $100 to win $195) | Draw +290
  • Over/Under: 3.5 (O: +115 | U: -160)

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Newcastle United vs. Liverpool picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 1, Liverpool 1

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+290).

Newcastle lost to both Liverpool and Arsenal at home last season and then drew Man City 3-3 at home. This is a better Newcastle team, but those same struggles against top-tier sides at home could remain. It had 7 fewer shots and just 41% possession against Man City last weekend, so it might not quite be as good as expected.

Liverpool wasn’t too competent last season on the road, drawing or losing 13 of 19. It drew 5 last season. Liverpool drew Chelsea on the road to open the season and should find a similar result here.

For a small unit, sprinkle DRAW (+290).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER ALTERNATE 2.5 (+150).

Liverpool was tied for the fewest goals allowed in the 2021-22 season and had a strong defense again last year. D Virgil van Djik still leads the backline, and it has given up just 1 goal per game this season, allowing up 4 shots goal against Chelsea. Liverpool scored in its lone shot on frame against Chelsea, so that wasn’t an overly convincing showing for its attack.

Newcastle had just 1 shot on frame against City, which countered the 5 goals it put on Aston Villa in its opener. Newcastle has allowed 1 goal per game and scored 2.5, but again, this will be a highly competitive match with likely fewer opportunities.

Take UNDER 2.5 (+150).
