The joyous start to the season for Tottenham hasn’t quite continued. After winning a thriller against Man City, Tottenham has gone 2-2 in EPL play and is struggling to score.
Despite having elite forwards Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min on the roster, the Hotspur have produced just 3 goals in five matches. Tottenham is coming off back-to-back 3-0 losses, the first of which it was awarded a red card against Crystal Palace.
Arsenal is regaining strength following an early-season COVID-19 outbreak and has been able to find some success. The Gunners have taken down Burnley and Norwich City.

Money line (ML)
“LEAN” to the DRAW (+230) as neither side has shown much against top-tier talent and has taken care of business other than that. It’s hard to bet one of these two teams to win.
Arsenal is getting closer to full strength, but it beat two lower-level sides both 1-0. A more convincing win over Norwich would’ve padded the resume. Arsenal has scored two goals in five matches.
As for Tottenham, its win over Man City is a little misleading as it stuck nine in the box and often pushed in counterattacks. The Hotspur defended well and got one on the board, but it wasn’t quite the most telling performance.
Given that both sides look just below the top-tier clubs, I’m leaning to a draw.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET on the UNDER 2.5 (-122) as the clear best bet in this match.
There’s no way around it. The numbers point clearly to Under 2.5. Arsenal has scored twice this season and Tottenham has just 3 goals.
The attackers are there, but both teams are lacking in the midfield, hurting the distribution to said strikers. Arsenal ranks seventh and Tottenham ranks 19thin shots. Both are among the bottom four in the league in goals scored.
Tottenham has given up six goals, with all of those coming in its last two matches. Arsenal has two straight clean sheets.
