Gunners To Win Shootout Again
It's a case of same old Arsenal which means wins against middling sides, but mainly without clean sheets.
They certainly made hard work of Leicester but Arsenal are seeking a seventh straight Premier League win on Saturday night. I’d back them to achieve this but with both teams to score at best odds of 13/5 with Bet365.
One of the victories in the Gunners’ current sequence was a 4-1 victory at the Bet365 Stadium in May. That was one of five times they scored four or more on the road in 2016-17 but only once did they keep a clean sheet as well.
Indeed, Wenger’s boys shutout their opponents just 4 times in 19 away games. Did anyone who watched the opening fixture of this season see that percentage rising any time soon?!
Arsenal’s firepower is immense, their defence suspect. So this will be a popular bet option in the coming months unless the stellar defenders do actually arrive.
For their part Stoke found the net 15 times out of 19 at home which further supports our case here.
