Liverpool – Arsenal Betting Tip, Prediction & Odds (9.4.2023)
As the Premier League title race continues, Arsenal hope to survive a tough road trip to Anfield. Liverpool have struggled mightily over the last few weeks, but the Reds still own enough firepower to spoil the Gunners’ day.
Liverpool vs. Arsenal: Initial Situation
Liverpool are eighth in the EPL with 43 points (W12, D7, L9) and a 48:33 goal difference, trailing fourth-placed Tottenham by seven points. Arsenal are topping the table with 72 points (W23, D3, L3) and a 70:27 goal difference. The Gunners are eight points ahead of Manchester City, though the Citizens have a game in hand on Arsenal.
Liverpool Stats & Form
The Reds put an end to their three-game losing streak last Tuesday, playing a nil-nil draw against Chelsea on the road. After losing to Bournemouth 1-0 and Manchester City 4-1 in the Premier League and to Real Madrid 1-0 in the Champions League, the Reds were outplayed by Chelsea but did manage to escape with a point. At least, the Reds have won three straight league contests at Anfield, outlasting Everton 2-0, Wolves 2-0, and Manchester United 7-0 in the process.
Mohamed Salah has been Liverpool’s best player so far this season. The 30-year-old winger has accounted for 23 goals and 11 assists across 41 appearances in all competitions. Darwin Nunez has bagged 14 goals in 35 apps, while Andrew Robertson has recorded nine dishes in 34 matches.
Arsenal Stats & Form
The Gunners have won seven straight league matches. During that stretch, Arsenal have scored a thumping 21 goals while allowing just six in return. In their previous three league contests on the road, the Gunners have beaten Aston Villa 4-2, Leicester 1-0, and Fulham 3-0.
Wingers Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli lead the charge for Arsenal with 13 goals apiece. Saka is the team’s best assist-maker with ten dishes, while midfielder Martin Odegaard has posted ten goals and eight assists so far this season. Striker Eddie Nketiah, who’s bagged nine goals thus far, is sidelined with an ankle injury, while centre-back William Saliba (three goals) is out with a back injury.
Liverpool – Arsenal: Head-to-Head
Arsenal outlasted Liverpool 3-2 in their first meeting of the season. It was the Gunners’ lone win in six matches against the Reds, who have emerged victorious four times in that stretch. Liverpool have recorded six wins and three draws in their previous nine home matches against Arsenal.
Liverpool – Arsenal Odds
The Gunners are slight favorites to come out on top. You can take them at 2.45 with bet365 Sportsbook, while Liverpool are 2.80 underdogs at Unibet Sportsbook. The bookmakers are expecting to see a few goals in this duel, and Over 2.5 Goals pays 1.73 at bet365.
The Gunners have been unstoppable lately, scoring goals at will, but I would stay away from the side bet in this match. Liverpool are a dangerous side even though their form has been poor recently, and the Reds could easily grab a point or three here. Hereof, I would take Both Teams to Score YES, although the odds are not attractive. It pays 1.63 at Unibet, but it seems like both Arsenal and Liverpool should find the back of the net against each other. Liverpool haven’t conceded in four consecutive league games at home, and the Reds will have a tall task to keep the red-hot Gunners quiet.
