Premier League Predictions: Arsenal to Frustrate Spurs in North London Derby

Premier League Betting Insights: Expert Predictions and Tips

Our football betting expert, Jones Knows, is back to provide his insights on the latest Premier League games, including an intriguing North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal this Sunday at 2 PM, live on Sky Sports.

Tottenham vs Arsenal: A Tactical Preview

With Arsenal facing midfield selection issues without Martin Odegaard and Declan Rice, Mikel Arteta might adopt a cautious approach, treating this match like a Champions League knockout tie. A draw would be a positive result, especially in a challenging away environment. Expect low-risk football aimed at silencing the home crowd. Arsenal's impressive record away from home adds to their confidence, having accumulated 28 points from 30 possible this season, yet to trail in any road match. The defense has also been formidable, conceding just three goals in ten games.

Understanding Spurs' Style

To frustrate an Ange Postecoglou-led side, Arsenal must defend in numbers, stifling the width where Spurs excel. Spurs create numerous chances but struggle to convert them into high-quality opportunities, indicating potential weaknesses that Arsenal can exploit.

Gold Value Bets

As for the betting angle, the under 2.5 goals market looks tempting at 11/8 with Sky Bet. A low-scoring affair is on the cards as both teams strive for stability. The score prediction for this match is likely to stand at 1-1.

Wolves vs Newcastle: Midfield Battles to Watch

Later on Sunday at 4:30 PM, Wolves will take on Newcastle, another compelling matchup set to air on Sky Sports. This clash is expected to see intense midfield battles, particularly with Newcastle’s trio of Bruno Guimaraes, Joelinton, and possibly Sandro Tonali being notable for their physical presence and a high number of fouls.

Player Focus: Mario Lemina

Taking a closer look at Wolves' Mario Lemina, he has been a target for fouls in his recent games, averaging about 15 fouls drawn in 14 starts. With Newcastle's midfield likely to maintain their aggressive style, the price of 7/2 with Sky Bet for Lemina to be fouled twice appears promising.

Score Prediction for Wolves vs Newcastle

The score prediction for the Wolves versus Newcastle match also leans towards a draw, likely 1-1.

Jones Knows' Best Bets of the Weekend
