Arsenal vs Tottenham Prediction & Betting tips
The North London Derby between Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur is scheduled at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday. Both teams won in the Europa League midweek and can give even more shine this week by winning against the big rival.
Arsenal:
For Arsenal, the game against Tottenham Hotspur is not even that important because of the rankings. After all, Arsenal is disappointingly in tenth place in the Premier League and actually does not play for anything anymore. When Arsenal win against Tottenham Hotspur, it could mean that Spurs are almost certainly eliminated in the battle for a Champions League ticket. That must be a good reason for Arsenal to take three points this weekend against The North London fellow townsman.
In the Premier League, Arsenal does not actually play football for anything anymore. Only the Europa League still counts for Mikel Arteta’s team this season. In that Europa League, Arsenal played against PSV executioner Olympiakos Piraeus on Thursday evening. The North Londoners recorded a 1-3 victory in Greece and are therefore already with one leg in the next round. Arsenal remained unbeaten in six of the last seven games it played. A series that The Gunners against Tottenham Hotspur are only too happy to continue. Arteta can have a fit group of players in this North London Derby.
Tottenham Hotspur:
Tottenham Hotspur is in a lot better shape than Arsenal. José Mourinho’s team won the last five games it played and therefore travels with confidence to the Emirates Stadium. In addition, the Spurs remained unbeaten in the last five North London Derbys. Earlier this season, Tottenham won 2-0 against Arsenal in their own stadium by hits from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane. It is important for Tottenham to also take three points in the Emirates Stadium, because if the Spurs lose points, Champions League qualification via the Premier League would seem an illusion.
Mourinho and his team are in seventh place in the Premier League. The Portuguese collected 45 points in 27 games with Spurs. As a result, Tottenham, for example, is already three points behind a club like West Ham United. Given the current form, however, we should not rule out Tottenham when it comes to the Champions League tickets still to be distributed. Just like Arsenal, Tottenham also managed to book a victory in the Europa League on Thursday evening. At the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, Harry Kane gave his side a 2-0 victory over Dinamo Zagreb. The Englishman had to leave the game early with a bag of ice on his knee, but it is expected that Kane will be fit for the derby in time.
