Arsenal vs. Tottenham Prediction, Odds, Pick | Premier League Match Preview

In the latest edition of a famed Premier League rivalry, Arsenal travels to face Tottenham in the North London Derby. 

Manager Mikel Arteta’s side enters this match in great form. They thrashed Chelsea 5-0 in the midweek and have won two games in a row. 

As for Tottenham, they’ll have a rest edge on Sunday but produced a terrible result in their last game. On the road at Newcastle United, they lost 4-0. 

Here’s a look at the EPL odds and my prediction for Sunday’s clash. 

EPL Betting Odds – Arsenal vs. Tottenham

• Arsenal Moneyline: -115
• Tottenham Moneyline: +260
• Draw Moneyline: +300
• Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (+105/-145)

EPL Prediction – Arsenal vs. Tottenham

Arsenal Moneyline (-115) 

The rest advantage for Tottenham is definitely concerning, but history says Tottenham are unlikely to earn points. 

Since the 2012-13 season, underdogs off a loss that allowed three or more goals are 22-176 SU against favorites off a win with a win percentage higher than 50%. 

They also struggle to pick up a point. In those 194 contests, those teams have earned a point only 64 times. 

It gets even less profitable for Tottenham. 

When you shrink the sample down to consider dogs off a loss by three or more goals against teams off a win by three or more, bettors will find they’re 0-31 SU and 7-24 against +0.5. 

From a metrics standpoint, Tottenham’s goalkeeper is propping up a defense amongst the worst in the Premier League. 

Spurs sit 13th in expected goals allowed per 90 minutes and non-penalty expected goals per 90 minutes, according to fbref.com. 

Excluding own goals, Spurs have also underperformed their post-shot expected goals total by 4.7 goals.

That’s going to put them in trouble against an Arsenal side with a +1.09 expected goal differential per 90 minutes away from home, best in the Premier League. 

Driving that success is their brilliant defense, which has allowed only 11.6 expected goals away from home. 

Against a Tottenham side that’s only seventh in expected goals at home, expect Arsenal’s defense to limit their opponent’s opportunities. 

As a result, back the visitors to earn all three points.
