Tips for match Arsenal — Manchester City
On February 2nd, in the 24th round, there will be a very interesting match between London Arsenal and Manchester City. The game, which if it does not decide whether Arsenal still has a chance to win the championship, will definitely determine whether City is returning to its form, which everyone has become accustomed to over the past 5 years.
Arsenal is in 2nd place with 47 points, 9 points behind Liverpool, but talk of a championship race continues. Opta gives insignificant percentages of course on the Londoners' chances to take 1st place, but there is still almost half of the season ahead. Of course, I would like the intrigue to remain, and Arsenal has shown excellent results in recent matches. The Londoners have not lost 13 matches in a row in the Premier League, of course there were draws, but now is not the season in the Premier League when you need to score 100 points to win, even the favorites have draws and losses.
What is more important for us before betting on the Arsenal - Manchester City match is that Arsenal have not scored in only one home match this season. It was the game with Everton, which illogically ended with a score of 0-0, but even if we take that game into account, the average number of goals scored by a team at home in the Premier League per match will be 2. And here in the opponents City, where Guardiola puts Khusanov in the very first match, although he does not know English and managed to hold 2 training sessions. City returned to the top 4, but with 41 points in case of a defeat they can soon drop back to 6th place, so at the very least they definitely cannot lose to them. But do I believe that City will be able to avoid losing to Arsenal? No, the team is still showing a bad game, Guardiola even after scoring goals gets mad and breaks boxes with bottles of water (as it was during the Champions League match with Brugge). The only ray of hope for the townspeople is Foden, who has finally started scoring goals and returning to the form of the best player in the Premier League last season. But the individual skill of 1-2 players will not go far in a match with Arsenal, so today you can take advantage of the high odds on the favorite of the match.
