Tottenham Hotspur vs. Arsenal picks and predictions
Prediction
Arsenal 2, Tottenham Hotspur 2
Moneyline (ML)
LEAN DRAW (+260).
Tottenham has yet to lose at home this season, and it will have enough pace to push the Arsenal backline. The Kane-led side have 3 home draws as well. Arsenal will also be down F Gabriel Jesus, who has been a star for them this season.
Arsenal is 1-1-1 this season against top-5 EPL sides. They beat Tottenham 3-1 earlier in the season at home, but Arsenal had just 0.8 more expected goals.
Now on the road and considering Tottenham’s dominance at home, back a DRAW (+260) but only for a small unit considering the value.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 2.5 (-130).
Arsenal has gone Over this total in 2 of its last 3 EPL matches. It is also 2-1 O/U this total against top-5 EPL sides, and it is playing one of the best offenses in the league.
Tottenham has gone Over this total in 3 of its last 4 league matches with all 3 of those games going Over even 3.5 total goals. They have arguably the best-finishing forward in the league in Kane coupled with one of the best dribbles in F Son Heung-min.
That has been a recipe for offensive success. Couple that with their defense allowing 1.39 goals per game, and against an Arsenal team that also has a lethal attack, back the OVER 2.5 (-130).
