Arsenal v Southampton
Saturday 3pm BST
Southampton will likely be happy with a draw here and although we don’t think they’ll get it, we’re not comfortable on 1.57 on Arsenal to win. For us, the value lies with Under 2.5 goals at 2.00 with Bet365.
Arsenal got the win they needed before the break accounting for Watford convincingly 3-1. Southampton continue to struggle only drawing with Sunderland and they look to be real sliders this season.
Southampton have an excellent recent record against Arsenal, albeit under Koeman, winning 2 and drawing 1 of the last 3. When we focus on games at the Emirates, the record flips to show
Arsenal winning 3 and drawing 1 of the last 4 in North London.
5 of the last 6 matches have finished with only 1 team (or none) scoring and 5 of the last 7 have finished Under 2.5 goals.
Southampton have been an attacking side recently and have been rewarded in this fixture scoring first in 4 of the last 7 and returning a nice profit if you backed them each time.
