Arsenal vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Bayern Munich 0

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (-140).

It is hard to believe in Bayern Munich right now. Bayern were up 2-0 Saturday and lost to Heidenheim on the road, and they lost at home to Dortmund the weekend prior. Couple that with a Round of 16 road loss to Lazio, and they are rightful underdogs. Bayern also have far more injuries with F Leroy Sane and GK Manuel Neuer expected to be sidelined. The former leads the team in assists with 11.

Arsenal is 12-2-1 (2 draws) at home this season, and they are averaging 2.42 goals per game in EPL competition. They have home wins over Man City, Liverpool, and Man U. Expect the home side to come out on top, as it has consistently this season.

Back ARSENAL (-140).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER  2.5 (+118).

Arsenal’s defense is clicking, and the absence of Sane should loom large. Arsenal have 4 straight clean sheets throughout all competitions and haven’t allowed a goal since March 9. They went Under in both Round of 16 games.

Bayern lost 1-0 on the road in the Round of 16, and they allowed more than 1 goal in just 1 of 6 Group Stage games. They have allowed just 36 goals in 28 Bundesliga matches.

Both teams have strong defenses, so back UNDER 2.5 (+118).

Analyzing Tuesday’s Sevilla vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predcitions and best bets.

Sevilla (0 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Arsenal (1-0-1) to Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Sevilla vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Sevilla sits 13th in La Liga (the top league in Spain) and is just 2-3-4 in league play this season. It has drawn both its Champions League matches so far in the group stage.

In La Liga play, it is led by F Youssef En-Nesyri, who has 3 goals in 8 matches.

Arsenal sits 2nd in the English Premier League (the top league in England) and is 6-3-0 in EPL action, having yet to lose. It has scored 18 and allowed 8 through those 9 matches.

Sevilla vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Sevilla 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+280).

Sevilla hasn’t been great in La Liga play this season, but it did draw Real Madrid 1-1 and had just 0.1 fewer expected goals last time out. It lost 1-0 to Barcelona on the road late in Sept. as well.

This team has talent and is composed. It has drawn both group stage games, 1 which was on the road too. Arsenal is the favorite here, but it has 2 draws in its last 6 matches through all competitions and did lose to Lens on the road.

Put it all together and the home side should be able to get some type of result. Lean DRAW (+280).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

The total in the 4 combined group stage matches between these 2 clubs has gone Over in 3 of 4 games. In 2 of those 4, they have gone Over even 3.5 goals. Arsenal has played 13 games throughout all competitions this season and has scored in every one, scoring multiple goals in 7.

Sevilla averages 1.56 goals per game in league play and allows 1.44, so defense isn’t its strength either. It has scored 3 goals in 2 group stage games and has allowed 2. Neither defense is terrific, and the talented Arsenal attack should be able to shine.

Take OVER 2.5 (-135).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Arsenal (5 wins, 2 draws, 0 losses) welcomes Manchester City (6-0-1) to Emirates Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal is 2-2-0 at home this season. It is led in scoring by F Bukayo Saka, who has 4 goals in 7 matches but whose status remains unknown for Sunday as he’s been dealing with injury. Arsenal has played 11 games throughout all competitions and has lost just once, a 2-1 defeat against Lens Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League. The Gunners beat Bournemouth 4-0 in their last EPL match and have scored 15 goals and allowed 6 through 7 league games.

Man City is 3-0-1 on the road this season and had its perfect start snapped with a 2-1 road loss at Wolverhampton on Sept. 30 in its last EPL match. City is 1-0-2 throughout its last 3 games in all competitions, beating RB Leipzig in the Champions League 3-1 Wednesday. It is led by F Erling Haaland, who has 8 goals in 7 matches.

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3012″ ]

Arsenal vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

SPRINKLE DRAW (+230).

Arsenal hasn’t lost at home, but it also hasn’t been overly dominant. It has drawn 2 of 4 league matches at Emirates, drawing Tottenham 2-2 and Fulham 2-2. It also drew Man City 1-1 on a neutral site in full-time in the FA Community Shield before the season. Both sides are among the best in the league and are familiar opponents.

With City having lost 2 of its last 3 in all competitions, it may be tough to go on the road and get a win, but its pace and quality should help it in this fixture. This should be a close, high-entertainment battle and there is some value on DRAW (+230).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-130).

Arsenal is averaging 2.14 goals per game and has scored 9 goals in 4 home matches, tallying at least 2 in all 4. City has scored 2 or more in 4 of its last 5 league matches and has scored at least 3 in 2 of its last 4.

Both games last season between these sides topped even 3.5 goals (3-1 and 4-1 wins for City).

[gambcom-standard rankid=”3011″ ]

Arsenal (4 wins, 0 losses, 1 draw) welcomes Tottenham (4-0-1) to Emirates Stadium Sunday. Kickoff is set for 9 a.m. ET (Peacock). Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Tottenham Hotspur odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal has scored 9 goals and allowed 4 through 5 games. It has won 3 games in a row, including a 4-0 victory in the 1st Champions League matchday Wednesday. Arsenal’s last EPL game was a 1-0 win on the road over Everton. Arsenal has 3 players tied with 2 goals. Its most notable attacker is F Bukayo Saka, who has 2 goals and 2 assists through 5 matches.

Tottenham is 2-0-1 on the road this season. It has scored 13 goals and allowed 5 through its 5 games. Without F Harry Kane, the Tottenham offense hasn’t missed a beat, and F Son Heung-min is leading the charge with 3 goals through 5 matches. Tottenham beat Burnley 5-2 in its last road match on Sept. 2 and Sheffield United 2-1 at home in its last EPL match Saturday.

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).

[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.

[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).

[anyclip pubname=”2129″ widgetname=”0016M00002U0B1kQAF_M8190″]

The MLS All-Stars take on English side Arsenal Wednesday in an exhibition at Audi Field in Washington, D.C. Kickoff is set for 8:30 p.m. ET. Below, we preview FanDuel Sportsbook’s lines around the MLS All-Stars vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best expert MLS picks and predictions.

The MLS All-Stars have a loaded roster that includes several players from the United States Men’s National Team such as forwards Jordan Morris and Jesus Ferreira. The All-Stars captain will be FC Cincinnati M Luciano Acosta, who has netted 12 goals and added 6 assists in MLS action this season. Former EPL great Wayne Rooney will captain the group of talented players.

Arsenal will bring many players from its roster which held the top spot in the EPL for much of last season. Stars like M Bukayo Saka and M Martin Odegaard will suit it up alongside newcomers M Kai Havertz and M Declan Rice. F Gabriel Jesus will be the key forward to keep an eye on. He had 11 goals in 26 matches last season.

Prediction

Arsenal 2, MLS All-Stars 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

This Arsenal (-280) roster has several new faces that may still be finding their way after recently joining the club.

However, it is still a far superior side in terms of high-end talent, and it should be able to come out on top. But there isn’t any value in wagering the touring English side to come out on top.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 3.5 (+108).

The total is where value can come into play. The MLS All-Stars have several quality defenders, including USMNT D Walker Zimmerman.

The All-Star Game has gone Under 3.5 goals in its last 6 games between the top MLS players and a European club.

The MLS All-Star Game hasn’t topped 3.5 goals since the 2013 game between MLS and Roma. Arsenal takes on Manchester United Saturday, so we can also expect it to play those aforementioned stars less in this battle.

Couple it all together and take the UNDER 3.5 (+108).

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

Arsenal (25 wins, 6 losses, 6 draws) welcomes the Wolves (11-18-8) to Emirates Stadium Sunday for a regular-season finale. Kickoff is set for 11:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Wolves odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal, which had the English Premier League title in its sights for most of the season, has struggled lately and is locked into a 2nd-place finish. The Gunners are a strong 13-2-3 at home this season but lost their last game there, 3-0 to Brighton & Hove Albion 2 weeks ago. The Gunners enter a 2-game slide after dropping a 1-0 decision at Nottingham Forest last week. Arsenal has lost 3 of its last 5 battles. F Martinelli and MF Martin Odegaard lead the Gunners with a team-best 15 goals apiece.

The Wolverhampton Wanderers, who are in 13th place, are a poor 2-11-5 on the road. They are coming off a 1-1 draw at home against Everton last Saturday. The Wolves have a league-low 31 goals (0.84 goals per game), while allowing a middle-of-the pack 53 in 37 matches. F Daniel Podence and M Ruben Neves lead the team in scoring with 6 goals each.

Prediction

Arsenal 3, Wolves 1

Moneyline (ML)

AVOID.

Considering how Arsenal has played at home and how the Wolves have played on the road, the Gunners should come out on top with relative ease. However, they really don’t have much to play for and could consider resting some key players.

At -275, there’s too much juice to consider Arsenal on the moneyline, while the Wolves (+625) haven’t done enough this season — in this position — to justify bettors backing them.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+105).

The juice is on the Under, and while that makes sense, the Arsenal attack has been among the league’s best this season. The Gunners have scored multiple goals in 7 of their last 10 games and have scored at least 3 in 4 of those. They have topped 3.5 goals with their opponent in 7 of their last 10.

The Wolves have scored in 10 of their last 12 matches, so their offense has picked up as of late. Their weakness is defense, which is allowing 1.43 goals per game. They have allowed 2 or more expected goals in 4 of their last 6.

Expect Arsenal to abuse that shortcoming. TAKE OVER 3.5 (+105).

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

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

Newcastle United (18 wins, 4 losses, 11 draws) welcomes Arsenal (24-4-6) 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. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal had been atop the Premier League for most of the season, but the Reds are just 1-1-3 over their last 5 games, allowing surging Manchester City to take over 1st place.

Arsenal did win its last outing, a 3-1 home victory over Chelsea Tuesday. Currently in 2nd place, Arsenal is led offensively by F Martinelli, who has a team-best 15 goals. MF Martin Odegaard (14 goals), F Bukayo Saka (13) and F Gabriel Jesus (10) are the other Arsenal players with double-digit goals.

Newcastle United’s strength has been its defense as the Magpies have allowed the fewest goals in the league (27). Offensively, they’ve scored 61 goals and have the 3rd-best goal differential (+34). Newcastle United is 3rd on the table, behind Man City (79 points) and Arsenal (78). Newcastle is 10-1-5 at home this season and has won 8 of its last 9. The Magpies have won 4 straight home matches, including a 6-1 win over 7th-place Tottenham Hotspur April 23.

Newcastle United vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Newcastle United 3, Arsenal 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET NEWCASTLE UNITED (+150).

Newcastle has been absolutely shredding teams lately, and the games really haven’t been close. It had double its opponents’ expected goals in 3 straight games, tripling its opponent in 2 of the 3.

Newcastle beat Tottenham 6-1, Everton 4-1 and Southampton 3-1 in the past few weeks. It also defeated Man U 2-0 and Wolverhampton 2-1 along with Tottenham and Southampton in its last 4 home games.

Newcastle is just playing much better right now than Arsenal. The Reds bounced back against Chelsea, which has struggled all season. Arsenal has lost to both Man City and Man U on the road, its only other games against top-4 EPL sides.

Put it all together and TAKE NEWCASTLE UNITED (+150).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-165).

The logic is to bet Over 2.5, but the value isn’t with the juice being -165.

Newcastle has gone Over in 8 of its last 9 and has allowed at least 1 goal in 12 of its last 13 EPL matches. It will take on an aggressive offense. Newcastle has also averaged over 3 goals per game across its last 6 games.

Arsenal has gone Over this total in 10 straight matches and has scored 2 or more goals in 9 of those contests.

Both teams should be able to score in this battle, and OVER 2.5 (-165) is the only way I would play this but only for a small unit given the value.

Arsenal (23 wins, 4 losses, 6 draws) welcomes Chelsea (10-13-9) to Emirates Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Arsenal vs. Chelsea odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Arsenal is seeing the English Premier League title slip out of its hands as Man City surges. It hasn’t won a league match since April 1, posting a 0-1-3 record since. It is a strong 12-1-3 at home this season. Arsenal has been led offensively by F Martinelli, who has 15 goals in 33 matches. It has 3 players who have tallied double-digit goals.

Chelsea has been disappointing this season. The Blues are 4-7-4 on the road this season and have averaged just .94 goals per game. Their defense has remained strong, allowing just 1.09 per game. They are led in the attack by F Kai Havertz, who has 7 goals in 29 matches. They have lost 5 straight games through all competitions.

Arsenal vs. Chelsea picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Chelsea 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN ARSENAL (-175).

Chelsea has been playing awful as of late, and the Blues have struggled immensely both on the road and at home. They have lost 4 of their last 5 EPL games and have lost those games a combined 1-7.  There’s no reason to think they will bounce back now.

Arsenal, on the other hand, is still in the race for the top spot in the league, but the Reds will need to handle business. Arsenal has won 4 of its last 5 at home as well.

Against a struggling opponent, take ARSENAL (-175) but only for a small unit given the juice on the home side.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (-105).

Chelsea’s style of play has loomed large over its total outcome the last several games. The Blues have failed to score in 4 of their last 5 and have gone Under 2.5 goals in 4 of their last 5 as well. They have gone Over in just 3 of their last 14.

Arsenal beat Chelsea 1-0 earlier in the season. The Reds have gone Over in their last 9 straight, but they are allowing just 1.15 goals per game. Both defenses are elite while the Chelsea offense has been extremely ineffective.

Ultimately, take the UNDER 2.5 (+100) here.

Manchester City vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Arsenal 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There just isn’t any value either way. City is at home and has been beating the snot out of the Premier League over the last few months. It hasn’t even drawn a home league match since December 2022.

Arsenal is a quality side and sits atop the league but has had clear struggles staying separated from mid-tier sides. Ultimately, given this value, playing City at (-185) doesn’t make sense, but at this point, you’d be a fool to bet against the Haaland-led club.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+138).

The Over is juiced to a level that it is unplayable. Similar to the moneyline, the chances that Over 2.5 (-185) happens just doesn’t pose much betting value. Now, the OVER 3.5 (+138) is the stronger play here.

For starters, City is averaging 2.6 goals per game. While it allows just .93, it has allowed a goal in 3 straight games. City has gone Over this total in 3 straight games and in 6 of its last 9. It has scored at least 4 goals in 3 of its last 6. The offense is clicking, and its midfield is the best in the world which allows for ample chances.

Arsenal, on the other hand, averages 2.41 goals per game and allows 1.06. The Reds defense has led them down as of late, allowing 2 or more goals in 3 straight games. They have allowed 9 goals in their last 5 games. Arsenal has gone Over this total in 5 straight games and in 7 of its last 8.

Couple the elite, high-octane offenses with a slacking Arsenal defense and goals should come often. Take the OVER 3.5 (+138) here.
