As Arsene Wenger’s men to continue push for the top four, Hugh Wilson is backing the visitors to come out on top and has a 21/2 value bet in mind
With eight games left for Arsenal this season, they once again have it all to do in the race for the top four and a chance to retain their ‘trophy’.
Despite a blip against rivals Tottenham Hotspur early last month, the Gunners have been impressive in the Premier League recently. Wenger’s men have recorded six wins in their last eight to trail fourth-placed Chelsea by two points.
The visitors, unsurprisingly, are the favorites for their clash against eighth placed West Brom, with BetVictor pricing them at 20/21 (1.95).
Steve Clarke’s men have been a revelation this season. The Midlands club have proved a lot of critics wrong who tipped them as relegation contenders, and now they are on course for a comfortable top-half finish.
The Baggies made the Hawthorns a fortress earlier on this season, but have since hit a sticky patch, despite winning their last two at home.
Clarke’s men are 31/10 (4.10) with BetVictor to make it three in a row. The same firm price the stalemate at 13/5 (3.60).
Despite West Brom winning their last two matches at home, Arsenal desperately need a win and with the Gunners winning four of their last five away matches, their price of 20/21 (1.95) to come away with three points seems too good to miss. Had you backed this is these teams last three meetings, the bet would have paid out.
For those looking for a bet with more value, the correct score market it worth investing in. Goals haven’t been hard to come by for Arsenal this season, with the defence a concern for several months earlier in the campaign.
However, Wenger and Steve Bould seem to have got the back four in working order, as the Gunners have only conceded four goals in their last six matches, keeping three clean sheets in their last four away matches.
Arsenal to win 2-0 would have paid out in their last two away matches, and BetVictor price that score at a long 21/2 (11.50) with seems to offer huge value for those looking to make a profit.
