Burnley vs Arsenal Premier League Betting Preview

Let’s take at Burnley vs Arsenal and see if we can manage to find a value bet.

Two teams with higher levels of confidence will face each other this weekend at Turf Moor. Both are doing terrific campaigns this year in the Premier League.

Burnley is so far the biggest surprise on this Premier League edition. After an astonishing 2-0 victory against Liverpool, Burnley defeated Watford in the last round by the same result.

Besides those two victories, Burnley also achieved one point on their draw against Hull City.

These results show how strong Burnley is at home, which might be the key for them to avoid the relegation.

As Burnley already showed, they can take points from anyone on their own turf. This is something that Arsenal can’t underestimate for this contest.

This game is a golden opportunity for Arsenal to shorten the gap to Tottenham and Manchester City, since these two will meet next Sunday.

With everyone well aware of what Burnley can do, we can’t have Arsenal slipping on this game. Therefore, we can expect a very professional attitude from the Gunners, never underestimating the opponent. Arsenal’s higher quality and strong attack should be more than enough to take Burnley down.

The bookmakers are on the same page here and price Arsenal close to @1.49. However, that price is long gone with the best odds at the moment on Coral @1.40. Despite the drop, this is still a price to take for the weekend, alone or in an accumulator.

Our pick on this game will be a little more ambitious than just a straight win from Arsenal. In a match where Arsenal should take control of the game, we expect them to build a larger lead after the first goal. Therefore, a Gunners victory by two or more goals is our prediction for this game against Burnley.

The Arsenal Asian Handicap -1.25 @1.87 on Pinnacle is in our opinion, the best value / risk approach. In case Arsenal disappoints us and only wins by a one goal margin, we get half our stake back.

We couldn’t end this article before taking a quick look to the goalscorers market. Alexis Sanchez is just on fire, giving us a great win @2.70 last week with his goal against Chelsea. This time his line is lower with Sanchez currently @2.00 on William Hill. Even though Alexis’ price is lower this week than against Chelsea, this is also an easier game for him to continue his hot streak.

Don’t forget that William Hill offers a free bet to all new users, which is a perfect opportunity to take on this one.
