Arsenal vs. Manchester United Betting Predictions

Its hard to trust either club entering this match, Arsenal dropping four of six and Manchester United failing to win three of its last four. Looking at the betting trends as well, the markets contradict one another. Arsenal's BTS is 12-20 while Man U's is 20-13, as the goal market is something similar. The historic and seasonal trends seem reliant however, such as Arsenal going unbeaten in four of the last five meetings - but those odds are a very expensive -295 to cover +0.5.

The BTS should hit here, and is a somewhat cheap -150 to occur. The BTS has failed to hit in three of four meetings, but the defensive forms for both clubs is quite rubbish at the moment. Manchester United has allowed a goal in six straight league matches, while Arsenal has allowed a goal in four straight. The Under 2.5 market has also hit in four of the last five meetings, but Emirates is seeing 2.4 goals per match which translates to an 8-8 O/U.

Bukayo Saka has kind odds to test for Arsenal, around +200 value with most sportsbooks. He has scored a goal in four of six league matches when playing on a Saturday. Considering the six-match streak of Man U allowing goals, the value is worth testing for Saka in this meeting.

Arsenal Betting Analysis

Arsenal has only lost to Manchester United once over the last four meetings, so the +110 ML to win isn't a terrible bet to consider. Arsenal dropping three of four EPL matches to go along with four of six is a bit concerning though. The club has a 12-20 BTS record but has seen that market hit in two of its last three matches, along with three of its last five at home.

The goal total has gone Over 2.5 in three of its last four league matches and the season O/U slightly favors the Over at 17-15. Despite Arsenal winning eight straight home matches as the favorite after winning the match prior, the club has lost the 1H market in three straight as the favorite. Manchester United to win the 1H market is a solid +290, while Arsenal to come from behind and win is also good value at +800.

Manchester United Betting Analysis

Manchester United is 16-17 on the O/U this season, but the club has seen the Over hit in four of its last six league matches. Despite a 20-13 BTS record this season as well, the BTS market has failed to hit in two of the last three matches for Man U. Manchester United has seen the BTS and the Over hit in five straight road matches when playing as the underdog on a Saturday, while also seeing the Over 3.5 market hit in three straight as the underdog.

The Over 3.5 market is a solid +220 to consider if you feel the goal scoring will continue for Manchester United. Jadon Sancho is a prop bet to consider watching, as the Man U player has scored in two straight matches when Man U is playing as an underdog during the daytime.

Key Players

• ARS: Bukayo Saka - M (10 goals, 5 assists)
• ARS: Emile Smith Rowe - M (10 goals, 2 assists)
• MUN: Cristiano Ronaldo - A (15 goals, 3 assists)
• MUN: Bruno Fernandes - M (9 goals, 6 assists)

Arsenal vs. Manchester United Betting Conclusion

The trends accumulated from these two clubs are too perpendicular to consider in this match, so think short. The only trend these two clubs have constantly seen lately is allowing a goal to the opponent, so try the BTS. This market has a lot of potential for Manchester United's trends entering.
