Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Draw — 3.60
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Total goals: Under 2.5 — 1.42
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Draw either half: YES — 1.52
Arsenal are aware of what follows if they lose to Manchester City on Wednesday. However, there’s a chance this game could end in a draw because Man City have lost their last three away matches and Arsenal have drawn two of their last three home matches.
Although both teams are good goalscoring sides, there’s a chance this game might not produce at least three goals because four of Arsenal’s last five matches ended with under 2.5 goals and three of Man City’s last four away matches ended with under 2.5 goals. Plus the last time both teams met, Man City won 1-0.
The last time both teams met, one half ended in a draw. And at least one half ended as draw in each of Arsenal’s last four matches across all competitions, hence there’s a chance this game might end in a draw in either half.
The Gunners have underperformed in recent weeks and as a result, they have utterly put their Premier League title charge in jeopardy. Arsenal haven’t won a league game since their tight 3-2 win over Manchester United at home in January. They have lost away from home to Everton and drew 1-1 at home to Brentford, most recently. Mikel Arteta’s side must now avoid a defeat to Manchester City on Wednesday if they fancy winning the title this season. Arsenal currently occupy the 1st position with 51 points after 21 matches.
The Citizens bounced back to winning ways last weekend when they beat Aston Villa 3-1 at home in the Premier League. The victory means City are now three points behind Arsenal at the top of the table, although they have played a game more. Pep Guardiola’s men have struggled to impress in away games in recent weeks, as they have lost three of their last four away matches and with Erling Haaland likely going to miss the game with an injury he suffered against Villa, Arsenal could stop City from taking all three points. Man City are at the 2nd position with 48 points after 22 matches.
We say Arsenal 1 – 1 Manchester City. The Gunners haven’t done well in their last three matches while Man City have been poor away from home in recent games. It’s obviously going to be a tight game and the team that makes the least errors stands a chance of getting the win.
We say score draw.
We say under 3.5 goals.
