ARSENAL VS BRAGA ODDS SHOW CESC FABREGAS SET FOR A BIG MATCH
With several key players out injured, it is widely expected that Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will step up and produce a match-winning performance in the Arsenal vs Sporting Braga fixture that kicks off today at 19:45.
Arsenal go into this one as solid favourites, but the thinness of their squad is already starting to show with the Gunners looking like they may deploy a more experimental formation here tonight.
Cesc Fabregas’ odds are sitting around 5/4 for him to grab an anytime goal while he’s listed at 5/1 to score first or last in this one. You can lock in a 6/1 price on him to grab two goals or more while he’s at 33/1 for a hat-trick.
These are the types of fixtures that Fabregas tends to excel in so the wager is more than justified.
The bookies are expecting a few goals here with the over/under on the match set at 2.5 and the over being short-priced at 13/20. The under is paying out at 23.20 and if you really think Arsenal are going to come flying out of the gates then you should back over 3.5 at a 7/4 price.
Arsenal on a (-2.0) handicap is priced at 13/5 while a (-3.0) handicap is sitting at 13/2.
The favoured correct score draw looks to be Arsenal 2-0, which is sitting at 6/1 while a 1-0 win pays out at 13/2. Arsenal to win 2-1 is priced at 15/2 while a 3-0 win pays 8/1.
Maourane Chamakh is trading at 10/11 to score at any point in the match and he hasn't quite lived up to expectations at this point but he will certainly be given time to do so.
Andrey Arshavin is worth keeping an eye on and you can back the Russian at a 6/4 anytime price while he's listed at 11/2 to grab the first or last goal.
