Sunderland v Arsenal Betting Preview – Premier League 29th October
Will Arsenal get back to their winning ways with a trip to the Stadium of Light on Saturday lunchtime, which is the start of a new Premier League betting weekend? Arsenal were held to a point at home by Middlesbrough last weekend, which saw their winning streak in the top flight snapped. But they are trading as heavy favourites to land a victory in this one with the Black Cats all out of sorts. Sunderland are rooted to the bottom of the pile and have claimed just the one point in their last six games. They are lacking goals and may struggle to hurt a confident Gunners side on Wearside.

Sunderland v Arsenal Betting Tips
Can Arsenal keep up the pressure at the top of the league? They start the weekend level on points with Man City and Liverpool in what is rapidly becoming a tight title scrap. The Gunners have produced a superb W6 D1 record in their last seven top flight games, with their six match winning streak being stopped in a 0-0 draw with Middlesbrough last week. Arsenal have scored at least two goals in five of their last seven goals and they will be expected to break down the Black Cats. The Gunners have only shipped eight goals from their 15 previous Premier League visits to Sunderland and they haven’t conceded in three of their last four visits there. So that should lend you some value on the To Win To Nil market which is a price of 7/5 on Arsenal returning that. That’s a great bit of value.
Out on the road Arsenal have won their last three games in an overall W3 D1 record for the term away from the Emirates. Last season Arsenal could only manage a point in the 0-0 draw that the two played out at the Stadium of Light last season. Overall Arsenal have shipped just the two goals in their last five games against Sunderland in all competitions. Theo Walcott has netted eight goals for the Gunners (all competitions) and has been in tremendous form. He is a price of 6/5 in the anytime goalscorer market, with options of Olivier Giroud and Alexis Sanchez both at 20/21. So Arsenal have the firepower to get the job done. The game to go under 2.5 goals will return you a price of 5/4 and it may be worth a flutter and an Arsenal 2-0 correct score to back that up is running at a very tempting price of 7/1. The Gunners have just been flying around in form and are going to take some stopping.
Sunderland have managed just the one win in their last 25 against Arsenal in the Premier League with a D1 D9 L15 record. Sunderland have still remained winless in the Premier League this season with a terrible D2 L7 record on the board. So huge problems for the Black Cats and they have failed to score in their last two outings as well. At home they have gone D1 L3 so far this term but they have scored in three of their four home games. Pretty much Jermain Defoe is their only threat going forward and he is p at a price of 2/1 in the anytime goalscorer market for the match. Sunderland have actually failed to score in four of their last six Premier League games now. They are without a clean sheet at the Stadium of Light this season and could be pretty vulnerable again this weekend, which they go into with just the two points recorded this term.
Sunderland v Arsenal Betting Odds
Sunderland 7/1, Draw 15/4, Arsenal 4/11
Sunderland v Arsenal Predictions
The Black Cats are in a mess. The Goals aren’t coming and their defence falls apart at crucial times. So this should be a routine fixture for Arsenal, who have the pace and the creativity to get through this away game and land three points. It’s worth staying under the 2.5 goal line and the appeal is on an Arsenal to win to nil wager.
