2015 EPL: Arsenal vs Tottenham Betting Tip
Two fierce neighbours clash for supremacy in the North London derby when Arsenal welcome Tottenham Hotspur to their Emirates Stadium. This game will be played on 8th November and promises to be fiery and exciting in equal measure, so make sure to read on as we offer another soccer betting tip.
Derbies are rarely the time to exchange pleasantries as clubs understand the significance of these games – especially to fans. And with both teams charting their own ambitions, the backdrop is perfectly set for the weekend.
Arsenal managed to revive their domestic performance after a demoralizing loss to Chelsea. With five consecutive wins, they find themselves tied at the top with Manchester City. The form of Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez is heartening for Arsene Wenger who would be eager to plot Tottenham’s downfall.
What should set the clock back for Arsenal is their midweek demoralizing loss to Bayern Munich. The master-class from the German champions left them licking their wounds apart from the long flight back home. Perfect recipe for backlash but Tottenham isn’t easy to overcome.
Under Mauricio Pochettino, the Spurs have really tightened up this season. After the opening day loss to Manchester United, they went on a ten match unbeaten run to start knocking on the door of the top four. With Harry Kane back to scoring goals, the visitors will be keen to tilt the scales in their favour.
With other contenders for top four, namely Manchester United and Chelsea, struggling to stay afloat, this year could be the best chance in a long time for Tottenham. The only worry for Pochettino is the fact that they would be playing their third game in six days. But, he would hope that the adrenaline of playing their neighbours will lift his side.
This is a fixture that Arsenal generally dominated including winning four and losing just one of the last six matches. Wenger will hope that the bad memories of Bayern loss will be erased in the derby. It is difficult to predict a winner because it could go either way. A draw at odds of $4.00 at Sportsbet looks a solid option for what should be a tight contest.
