Arsenal Betting Preview
Arsenal comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the standings having picked up 74 points. Arsenal still sits in 1st place in the standings, but they have had some issues as of late. In each of the last two games Arsenal has jumped out to a 2-0 lead, but the defense has struggled in the second half and that led to them only picking up a point in each of the games. In the last game they were up 2-0 after 10 minutes, but they let West Ham United stay in the game and that led to the defeat. Gabriel Jesus scored in the 7th minute and Martin Odegaard scored in the 10th minute. Mohamed Elneny and Takehiro Tomiyasu are both dealing with injuries and aren’t going to be able to go in this game.
Southampton Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is Southampton who sits in 20th place in the standings having picked up 23 points. Last Saturday, Southampton faced off against Crystal Palace and they were defeated 2-0. Two games ago against Manchester City, they were defeated 4-1. Over the last three games, Southampton has scored only one goal total. Ainsley Maitland-Niles isn’t able to play his parent company so he won’t be able to go in this game. Che Adams is dealing with a calf injury and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game.
Shane’s Free Pick
There is a ton of value with the over 3.5 goals here. Arsenal is going to have no issue against a Southampton defense that gave up four goals in the last game. I don’t trust their defense though, and they are going to allow Southampton to score a couple of goals. Back the over to 3.5 goals to cash.
