Premier League: Tottenham Vs Arsenal Predictions and Betting Tips (28/04/2024)

The north London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal, which takes place on Sunday at N17, is a massive encounter that will determine who finishes fourth and who advances in the championship chase.

Since Spurs' humiliating 4-0 loss at Newcastle, they will have had 15 days off. Meanwhile, Aston Villa played three times during that period and is now firmly in fourth place.

When Arsenal lost at home to Aston Villa, it seemed like they were out of the championship fight. However, after beating Wolves and Chelsea in consecutive games, the emphasis is now on Manchester City to win their two outstanding games.

Head To Head And Previous Matches

To begin with, although the hosts continue to get praise after appointing Ange Postecoglou last summer, Tottenham is looking for stability after a turbulent few months. After a dismal showing away at Newcastle in a 4-0 thrashing, the former Celtic manager has led his team to only two victories in their last five Premier League outings. 

Even though they know they have a steep hill to climb in pursuing a lucrative Champions League return, Tottenham will be thrilled to play on home turf again. In addition to a perfect record in north London (winning all three meetings by an 8-3 aggregate score), Spurs have won nine of their past eleven matches played in front of their home fans, dating back to December 7th.

Even though the Gunners lost 3-2 on aggregate last week in a Champions League match away to German powerhouse Bayern Munich, they made a huge statement on Tuesday night. After cruising to a 5-0 victory over London rivals Chelsea, Mikel Arteta's youthful team will look to replicate that performance on Sunday. 

Arsenal, who have won back-to-back Premier League games and are still in the hunt for their first domestic championship since 2004, will be well aware that this is another game that will define their season. Since the start of the new year, the Gunners have not lost a Premier League match away from the Emirates, adding to their terrifying reputation for goal-scoring displays.

Our Predictions

Arsenal to win

Arsenal will be looking to build on their massive statement performance from earlier in the week when they thrashed Chelsea 5-0. In anticipation of Sunday's must-win match, the Gunners will be hoping to take advantage of Tottenham's recent struggles since returning from the international break in March. Spurs' porous defense, which was most recently exposed in a humiliating 4-0 loss to Newcastle, will likely face more testing conditions this coming weekend.

Both teams to score

With victories against the Wolves (2-0) and Chelsea (5-0), Arsenal has been on fire lately, keeping a clean sheet in both games.

As they go into the last few games of the Premier League season, that's an impressive defensive performance in their pursuit of the championship.

On the other hand, they will find it difficult to replicate the feat away against Tottenham. Despite this, they were successful in this matchup last year, breaking the long-standing home advantage rule with a 2-0 victory.

Despite Spurs' goal-scoring woes this season, Tuesday night's match between the Gunners and Chelsea promises to be another high-scoring encounter between the two London rivals. The team rivalry never fails to heat up, even when playing for pride. But this time, the hosts' Champions League dreams and the Gunners' championship aspirations might be on the line.

Saka to score or assist.

Against Tottenham, Bukayo Saka has a record of 4 wins and 3 losses in 8 matches. In addition, he has scored twice and assisted on another, with both of his goal contributions occurring in the last five games.

He has been indispensable with Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard, and a slew of other Arsenal midfielders and wingers finding the back of the net lately. On the other hand, Saka is at his best in championship games and has a chance to build on his remarkable comeback.
