Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Betting Tips & Predictions

This is a North London derby with much more at stake than usual: A potential Premier League trophy. Arsenal lost their 3rd consecutive game on Wednesday as Swansea picked up a deserved three points against the lacklustre hosts, which followed on to defeats from Barcelona and Manchester United. This has left The Gunners six points adrift of top spot Leicester, and surely another defeat would end their title hopes.

Tottenham Hotspur failed to close the gap on Leicester too. The leaders had slipped up on Tuesday when they failed to beat West Brom, but Spurs’ defeat to West Ham mean that the gap between them has increased to three points. A win in Saturday’s early kick off would see them go top on goal difference though and pile the pressure on Leicester ahead of their clash with Watford later that day.

This Spurs side look to possess the mental strength to be able to bounce back from that defeat and get right back on the title train, and a fierce rivalry clash with Arsenal could be just what they need to put the fire back in the players. Arsenal will be keen to put in an improved showing after their sub-par performance on Wednesday too.

This could all point towards a thrilling game of football, and the fact that Spurs have only failed to score twice in their last 12 games and seen three or more goals on seven occasions make it all the more likely. Arsenal haven’t exactly been playing their part in boring games either though, with six of their last 12 ending with more than two goals scored.

With the statistics to back up the fierce rivalry between the sides I think odds of 11/10 for Over 2.5 Goals and Both Teams to Score are really good value. I think Spurs will be able to get the win as well, especially with the carrot of a potential Premier League title hanging in front of them. A 2-1 correct score prediction at 9/1 looks good value for money.
