WSL Matchweek 7 Predictions & Betting Tips: Arsenal Women set for North London Derby win
Saturday’s Women’s Super League action features two eye-catching fixtures, with William Hill News previewing the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal.
Arsenal will be keen to get their league campaign back on track, while Brighton are favourites to claim the points in the evening kick-off.
With two contrasting sets of match odds, there are options for bettors backing the favourites or looking for a bigger return from an upset.
Tottenham Women v Arsenal Women
Tottenham Women: 7/2 | Draw: 3/1 | Arsenal Women: 8/15
The North London derby takes centre stage at 12:45, with Arsenal priced at 8/15 to win away from home. Tottenham are available at 7/2, while the draw is 3/1, making the Gunners clear favourites despite their difficult start to the league season.
Arsenal have struggled for consistency, and their recent 1-1 draw with Birmingham extended their winless run in the WSL. That makes the 8/15 price less straightforward than it might first appear, particularly against a Spurs side that started the campaign strongly before suffering consecutive heavy defeats. Tottenham’s 7/2 price could appeal to those who believe they can respond in front of their own supporters, although Arsenal will be eager to turn their fortunes around in a high-profile derby.
The draw at 3/1 is another option for anyone expecting a tense encounter, especially if Arsenal struggle to convert possession into clear chances. However, backing the Gunners means trusting their quality to shine through in a fixture where the pressure will be high.
Best bet: Arsenal Women to win at 8/15.
Brighton Women v West Ham Women
Brighton Women: 7/20 | Draw: 18/5 | West Ham Women: 11/2
Brighton host West Ham at 17:15, with the Seagulls priced at 7/20 to secure victory. The draw is available at 18/5, while West Ham are outsiders at 11/2.
Brighton’s short price reflects their position as favourites, but bettors should weigh up the return on offer before backing them outright. The Seagulls showed their attacking potential with a five-goal win over Charlton before the international break, although they subsequently lost 3-2 to Manchester City in a competitive contest. That performance suggests they can create chances, but their price leaves limited room for error
West Ham at 11/2 offer a much bigger potential return for those expecting an upset, while the draw at 18/5 could appeal to anyone who thinks Brighton might find it difficult to break down their opponents. Brighton remain the logical favourite, but the short odds mean bettors need to be confident they can turn their advantage into three points.
Best bet: Brighton Women to win at 7/20.
Saturday’s WSL best bets
Arsenal at 8/15 are the pick in the North London derby, although their recent form makes this a fixture to approach with care. Brighton at 7/20 are also favoured, with their attacking threat making them an appealing selection despite the limited return.
For those looking for longer prices, Tottenham at 7/2 and West Ham at 11/2 offer more substantial potential payouts if either can upset the market.
