TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR v ARSENAL– Click here to bet
This Sunday, we are treated to a London derby as Tottenham Hotspur host Arsenal at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The hosts have struggled with consistency this season, with 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat so far, placing them mid-table in 10th place. Despite their league position, Spurs have demonstrated promising goal-scoring form, averaging 2 goals per game with 6 goals from 3 matches. However, their struggles against the Gunners will be a concern, as they have only managed to earn 4 points from a possible 21 in their last 7 encounters, both home and away.
Arsenal make the short trip to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium looking to bounce back after their disappointing 1-1 draw at home against Brighton in week 3. Despite this recent hiccup, the Gunners are currently 4th in the league, unbeaten with 2 wins and 1 draw so far this season. Recent visits to their London neighbours have rendered success for Arsenal, having secured back-to-back victories in the league. They will, however, be well aware of the threats Tottenham possess given their current goal-scoring form. Spurs themselves will surely want to bounce back from their disappointing performances on derby days, making Sunday’s epic encounter all the more intriguing and potentially igniting fireworks on the day.
Head-to-Head
Last season, Arsenal clinched all three points with a 3-2 win in this fixture. The teams had previously drawn 2-2 in a high-scoring reverse encounter.
Betting
Tottenham Hotspur 2/1
Draw 26/10
Arsenal 27/20
Prediction
Arsenal have traditionally performed well in this fixture and I expect them to come out strongly. Tottenham will certainly put up a good fight and are likely to find the net, but I believe Arsenal will ultimately come out on top.
Suggested Bet: Result And Both Teams To Score, Arsenal And Yes at 28/10
WOLVERHAMPTON WANDERERS v NEWCASTLE UNITED – Click here to bet
In 18th position, Wolverhampton Wanderers are preparing to face Newcastle United at Molineux Stadium, aiming for their first win of the season. They managed to secure a 1-1 draw away to Nottingham Forest in their previous match, marking their first point of the season after a series of losses. Historically, this fixture has been notable for the hosts, while they have remained unbeaten in their last six home games against the Black and Whites, their inability to convert these opportunities into maximum points is glaringly obvious, having secured just one victory during that time. With an average of one goal per game, Wolves have the potential to challenge Newcastle United at home, but the key question remains whether they possess the quality to achieve all three points against a determined Magpies team.
Newcastle United travel to Wolves this Sunday, boasting an unbeaten record in the league with two wins and a draw, which places them 5th in the standings. On Matchday 3, they secured a 2-1 win over Tottenham Hotspur and will look to replicate that performance as they aim for their first away victory of the season. Molineux Stadium has been a productive ground for Newcastle, with the Magpies earning at least a point in nine of their last ten visits, including two wins, one defeat and seven draws. Given their solid start to the season, Newcastle will be confident in maintaining their unbeaten run and continuing their strong form in the West Midlands.
Head-to-Head
Last season, these two teams played to a 2-2 draw in a high-scoring encounter in this particular fixture, while Newcastle triumphed 3-0 in the reverse match.
Betting
Wolverhampton Wanderers 95/40
Draw 27/10
Newcastle United 23/20
Prediction
The Magpies enter this weekend in significantly better form than their opponents and I fancy them to continue their unbeaten run by securing at least a point in what is likely to be a relatively low-scoring affair.
Suggested Bet: Double Chance And Total, Draw/Newcastle United And Under 3.5 at 12/10
