Arsenal v Lincoln Betting Preview – FA Cup 11th March 3.00pm
Arsenal need a bit of cheer from somewhere and a comfortable home tie against non-league side Lincoln offers them that. The Gunners have been going through some rough form and in the last week alone have lost at Anfield against Liverpool in the Premier League and against Bayern Munich heavily in the UEFA Champions League. It’s not going well for Arsene Wenger and his men at the moment, but after having come through non-league side Sutton in the last round, the Gunners aren’t too likely to slip up in this one. Lincoln triumphed at Turf Moor against Burnley in the last round, how will they fare at the Emirates?

Arsenal v Lincoln FA Cup Betting Tips
Well Arsene Wenger’s job would, without a shadow of a doubt go flying out of the window if Arsenal were to lose this one on the weekend. The Gunners are tanking at the moment with s W2 L4 record in their last six games played across all competitions. They suffered a 5-1 hammering in each leg of their Champions League round of sixteen tie against Bayern Munich and their loss at home against the Germans in midweek came after a Premier League hit that they suffered in a loss at Anfield against Liverpool. But they should be able to snap back to winning ways in this FA Cup quarter final as they face up against non-league side Lincoln. Arsenal banked a 2-0 win over non-league side Sutton in the last round and are heavy odds-on favourites to beat the Imps as well. Arsenal to win to nil is a price of 1/2 with bookmaker Coral, which just goes to show how likely it is to happen. It’s not a great price, so go and look for Arsenal clean sheet options in the correct score market.
In the Coral correct score market, an Arsenal 3-0 result is trading as the shortest priced option at 5/1 with a 2-0 coming in at 7/1 and a 4-0 at 11/2. Arsenal aren’t likely to screw this up at all at the Emirates. Out of interest, this isn’t the first meeting between the two clubs but it is their first contention since the 1914/15 season in the old Division 2. This will be the first ever FA Cup meeting between the two clubs there and actually, going back to that old history, Arsenal on are a three match winless streak against Lincoln in a D1 L2 record against the Imps. Of course, always wait for starting lineups in games like this to size up goalscorer options. But in the early markets, Alexis Sanchez, who looks totally fed up at the moment, is a 4/9 anytime goalscorer favourite with Olivier Giroud at 1/2. Other options like Lucas Perez, Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott are around the 4/7 price to net.
Over 3.5 goals on the game is a price of 4/7 with Coral. Lincoln, who are looking for promotion from the National league, are the first non-league side in 103 years to find themselves in the quarter finals for the FA Cup. They created their history by going to Turf Moor in the last round and knocking off Burnley. That was a 1-0 victory at the death of the game that they recorded and it is part of a great W8 D2 unbeaten run of form that they are on. The Imps have bagged a clean sheet in all but one of their last six games in all competitions now, shipping just the one goal in the sequence. This is their big moment, their big payday and moment in the spotlight. Actually this will be ninth game in the FA Cup this season for Lincoln, which started with a 0-0 draw at home against Guiseley. It’s been a long road to get here, but they have knocked out Championship title-contenders Brighton and then Premier League side Burnley. There is a price of 13/8 on both teams to score if you fancy them getting a consolation.

Arsenal v Lincoln FA Cup Predictions
Once again we saw Arsenal in a defensive mess as they were trounced by Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. However they are likely to snap straight back and book themselves a place in the semi finals of the FA Cup. Lincoln pulled off heroics in the last round at Premier League side Burnley but are likely to fall here. An Arsenal 3-0 correct score may be worth stretching out to or just go and back Wenger’s men to land a win with a clean sheet.
