Command Analysis
Arsenal
EnglandCurrent form
Arsenal seemed to have overcome their slump after the international break and were on an impressive run. However, we are seeing a slowdown in the Premier League again. In the last two rounds, the Gunners failed to beat Fulham (1:1) and Everton (0:0). Of course, one can attribute such results to bad luck, but the title contender cannot afford to lose points twice in a row against such far from formidable opponents. As a result, Chelsea took advantage of their competitor’s problems and secured second place. Arsenal are in third place, four points behind the “aristocrats” and six points behind Liverpool.
In the Champions League, a slump was avoided in the last rounds before the break. Mikel Arteta men beat Sporting (5:1) and Monaco (3:0) in excellent style, occupying third place with 13 points.

Arsenal have not been consistent in recent matches, but overall it cannot be said that the team is in a serious decline, often the implementation simply fails. Ahead is a game against a convenient opponent, in the four previous face-to-face matches the Gunners confidently dealt with Crystal Palace, conceding only one goal during this time. The Glaziers do not have much opportunity to rotate the squad, plus there is a noticeable difference in class between the opponents. We think that Arteta team will confidently secure a ticket to the semi-finals.
Our prediction is Arsenal to win with an Asian handicap (-1) at odds of 1.72
Bet on total
Let pay attention to the fact that derbies between the "gunners" and "glaziers" are often quite productive, the opponents play open football. Thus, in five of the seven previous face-to-face confrontations, more than two goals were scored, which is what we expect today
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.81
Bet on the exact difference in the score
It should be noted that in the last three victorious matches, Arsenal beat their opponents with a difference of two or three goals. We expect that this time the team will achieve a comfortable victory.
