Now that’s a question which may not endear me to Arsenal fans, but it’s one which, for the first time in living memory, is well worth asking.
Four defeats in the last five league games have left Arsene Wenger’s team well off the Champions League pace and, as sports betting fans all know, a top-four place that was as safe a bet as you could place on Arsenal over the last two decades. So for this week’s handicap betting picks, I’m going to take a trip to North London to see if there’s any fight left.
Arsenal vs Watford FC (March 11, 21:30 GMT+8)
Sunday won’t be quite so super at the Emirates if they make it four league defeats on the run against a side they would normally expect to wipe away with ease. The Hornets have had an odd sort of season, starting like a train before slumping towards a relegation battle, but after back-to-back wins, they now look safe. But they have lost five of their last six away. Surely Arsenal’s stars can’t mess this one up…
Smart or not, I’m backing a home win with a -1.00 goal handicap at odds of 1.84 in a 🌟🌟 bet.
Bournemouth vs Tottenham Hotspur (March 12, 00:00 GMT+8)
The big question here is this: “How much has Juventus taken out of Spurs?” Mauricio Pochettino’s team had an epic Champions League tie in the run-up to their visit to the south coast. Eddie Howe’s Cherries look reasonably comfortable in 12th but haven’t beaten Spurs in six attempts, losing five. But they’ll give it a go, and I think there’ll be goals in this game.
For my second 🌟🌟 bet I’m going for between four and six goals at odds of 2.69.
Huddersfield Town vs Swansea City (March 10, 23:00 GMT+8)
Of all the Saturday games, this one catches the eye as a relegation six-pointer which could hardly be better balanced. Sitting 15th and 13th but only three points above the drop, the stakes could hardly be bigger. Swansea seem to have more stability under Carlos Carvalhal; but every time we think the Terriers are sunk, they win a game or two and are fighting for their lives.
My 🌟🌟🌟 bet here is on a Swans triumph, Draw No Bet, at odds of 2.25.
