Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions

Arsenal host North London rivals Tottenham at the Emirates stadium for the second time in nine days as the sides face off to reach the January semi-finals of the Carabao Cup. The Gunners came out on top last time but our predictions and betting tips are backing a result for Spurs.

Arsenal vs Tottenham: odds and predictions

Arsenal bet as marginal favourites with their odds picked at 6/4 for the victory whilst the William Hill traders have priced up Tottenham at 17/10 for the victory.

A sharing of the spoils of war bets at 5/2 but our Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions reckon Mauricio Pochettino’s men will reach the Carabao Cup semi-finals for the second consecutive season.

The North London derby is reignited on Wednesday just days after Arsenal dispatched Tottenham 4-2 with a heroic second half showing. Goals from Lucas Torriera, Alexandre Lacazette and Pierre Emerick Aubameyang – all past the 55′ minute – secured a vital win for Unai Emery and his Gunners.

Tottenham have since beaten Southampton, Leicester City, Burnley as well as recording a famous draw with Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Arsenal – who now sit 5 points behind Spurs – drew with Manchester United, beat Huddersfield but then lost to relegation favourites Southampton.

Arsenal vs Tottenham head-to-head (most recent first): Arsenal 4-2 Tottenham, Tottenham 1-0 Arsenal, Arsenal 2-0 Tottenham, Tottenham 2-0 Arsenal, Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham, Tottenham 2-2 Arsenal, Arsenal 1-1 Tottenham.

Arsenal vs Tottenham: match betting: predicted score and goalscorer tips

Predicted score: Tottenham to win 1-0, odds betting at a 10/1 pick. 

While Arsenal have won seven of their previous 13 League Cup meetings with Tottenham, the first instalment of our Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions is forecasting a swing in the pendulum towards an away Carabao Cup quarter-final win for Spurs.

Unai Emery’s side could be undone by the defensive frailty in their back four, all too evident in their manic 3-2 defeat to the Saints at the weekend. Shkodran Mustafi played recklessly, Granit Xhaka lacked spatial awareness, and Bernd Leno – much like many of his counterparts in the Premier League recently – was devoid of the decisiveness needed inbetween the sticks.

What’s more is the fact that the Gunners have just one clean sheet in their last 10 league games.

Given Spurs’s attacking prowess, combined with the stringent defence that has seen them keep four clean sheets in their eight matches, Arsenal could very well be expelled from a competition they haven’t won since 1993.

Who will finish as Champions League top goalscorer? 

Goal-scorer tips: Harry Kane to score and Tottenham to win, betting at enhanced odds of 3/1.

The second instalment of our Arsenal vs Tottenham predictions sees us back an enhanced odds bet that was 10/3 but has now been boosted by our traders to 3/1.

Following on from our Tottenham to win betting projection, we fancy Harry Kane to get among the pigeons when he visits the Emirates. England’s number nine bagged a penalty in that fixture and currently boasts 13 goals in all competitions.

Kane hasn’t scored in three games for Spurs but with a healthy average of 3.1 shots per game in the Premier League, it’s only a matter of time before he does. And at enticing odds of 3/1, this jumbo enhanced bet should be well worth your consideration.
