ARSENAL VS LIVERPOOL LATEST BETTING TIPS
We’ve got a proper top 4 clash today in the English Premiership as Liverpool look to put their season back into a full-scale revival by besting Arsenal at the Emirates. Arsene Wenger’s men have been looking a bit disconsolate since their loss to Manchester United at home and this past week or so has been the most pivotal one of their season- and they don’t look to be going in the right direction.
This match is definitely a crossroads for both teams, if Arsenal get an emphatic victory here then they’ve stopped the bleeding and can likely keep improving. If Liverpool win the match, they go one point off 3rd place and are in striking distance of the Gunners.
The bookmakers are siding with Arsenal at the moment. Cesc Fabregas and Co. are trading at an odds-on price of 10/11 with the Reds available at a solid 3/1 price. I think that’s great odds on Liverpool and, though they’ve been inconsistent this season, will likely hit Arsenal hard and play a more physical match than the Gunners tend to enjoy.
The draw pays 12/5.
In fact, the favoured correct score outcome is a 1-1 draw at a 9/2 price. Arsenal 1-0 pays out at 5/1 while Liverpool by the same margin is a 15/2 payout. I like Liverpool to win 2-1 at a 10/1 price while Arsenal 2-1 pay out at 13/2. A battling 2-2 draw rewards at an enticing 14/1.
Liverpool will be looking to David Ngog and the high-flying Dirk Kuyt to get the business done in front of goal. Both players trade at 7/4 anytime prices while they are 6/1 to score first or last. Steven Gerrard can also be backed at the same price. Maxi Rodriguez pays out at 7/2 to score anytime while Alberto Riera is a solid 11/2.
Eduardo is the favoured goalscorer for the Gunners wil a 6/5 anytime price and 9/2 first or last. Andrei Arshavin trades alongside Nicklas Bendtner at 6/4 anytime and 11/2 first or last. Cesc Fabregas is well-priced at 15/8 anytime and 13/2 first or last. Those are good prices on Fabregas as he tends to do well in the big games. He has had a few off-days against United and Chelsea so he’s due for a performance.
I think this match is a great opportunity to back the lucrative “Come from behind and win” markets. Should Arsenal score first and Liverpool claw their way back to three points, you’re looking at a hefty 14/1. Should Liverpool pip Arsenal early on and then the Gunners storm back in front- you’ve got an 8/1 payout. You can also take a “Come from behind to win or draw” at a reduced price of 4/1 for Arsenal and 5/1 for Liverpool. That’s almost the payout on a 1-1 draw anyway.
A penalty to be awarded pays out at 11/4 while we’re at 10/3 to score that penalty and 11/1 to miss it.
I think both these teams know it’s a must-win situation with about three teams breathing down their necks for fourth spot. We’re already entering crunch time this season and if one of these teams doesn’t bring it- they don’t deserve third place.
