  • Arsenal is a -2.5-goal favorite against Sheffield United.
  • Arsenal earned a 5-0 home win over Sheffield United in the reverse fixture.
  • Past trends show value on both a side and a total.

Before the final match for this EPL matchday kicks off from Bramall Lane, Iโ€™m here to offer an Arsenal vs. Sheffield United prediction.ย 

Arsenal enters this match in great league form thanks to their explosive offense. Theyโ€™ve captured six EPL wins on the bounce, scoring 25 goals in those contests.ย 

As for Sheffield United, theyโ€™ve struggled recently. Theyโ€™ve dropped all three points in four of their last five, conceding 15 goals in those contests.ย 

Hereโ€™s a look at the EPL odds and my best bet for Mondayโ€™s match.ย 

EPL Betting Odds – Arsenal vs. Sheffield United

  • Arsenal Moneyline: -550
  • Sheffield United Moneyline: +1450
  • Draw Moneyline: +675
  • Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (+100/-140)

EPL Prediction – Arsenal vs. Sheffield United

LEAN Arsenal Team Total Over 3.5 Goals (+175)

Bettors should know that Sheffield United matches a historically profitable system.ย 

Since the 2021-22 season, blind betting home dogs at +1.5 or higher sees bettors win at a 62.1% clip.ย 

Over that span, Arsenal is only 3-6 ATS as a road favorite of -1.5 or higher.ย 

Based on that history, itโ€™s Sheffield United or nothing from a spread standpoint.ย 

But thereโ€™s another profitable angle for bettors to (potentially) exploit for Mondayโ€™s match.ย 

This season, EPL matches featuring a home dog allowing more than 1.5 goals per game are 63% to the over.ย 

However, I donโ€™t trust the Sheffield offense against an Arsenal defense, allowing only 0.64 non-penalty expected goals per 90, per fbref.com.ย 

Thus, Iโ€™ll look for Arsenal to clear the total on their own. However, Iโ€™d need +200 or better to get involved.ย 

In 11 Sheffield matches falling under that system, theyโ€™ve allowed three or more goals four times and four or more three times.ย 

Shrink the sample down to four matches against sides fifth or better in npxG/90 minutes – Arsenal is third โ€“ and bettors will find Sheffield allowed two of four to clear this number.ย 

In those four games, they allowed 2.83 expected goals per 90 minutes and 3.85 post-shot expected goals per 90 minutes, per fbref.com.ย 

As a result, thereโ€™s a case to be made Arsenal slip four past the Irons, who allowed three non-penalty psxG in the reverse fixture.ย 

Bet if this reaches +200. Otherwise, sit out the fixture.ย
