Arsenal v Burnley Betting Tips – Premier League 6th May 4.30pm

This is sixth versus seventh in the table with Arsenal holding just a three-point advantage over Burnley heading into the weekend. The Gunners do have a game in hand over them but won’t want to deal with the pressure of losing this. Most of the attention of the afternoon will be directed away from that and onto the fact that this is Arsene Wenger’s last home game in charge.

Arsenal News and Form

The away form of Arsenal has let them down badly this weekend, but they are powering along on home soil. They have won their last four at the Emirates and in them, Arsenal scored at least three goals in each. Over 2.5 goals at bet365 for this game is at 4/5 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 10:55 p.m. on May 1st, 2018). There is a trend as each of Arsenal’s last nine home games have ended above the goal line. This will be Arsene Wenger’s last home game for the Gunners so this will be an emotional afternoon for him. The team would probably be extra fired up to give him a good send off. Arsenal have averaged 2.7 goals per home game this season and they have picked up a clean sheet in 44% of their home games. Arsenal are 8/5 at bet365 to win to nil* (Betting Odds taken at 10:55 p.m. on May 1st, 2018). It could be worth considering an Arsenal/Arsenal half-time/full-time bet as well as they have been ahead at half time in ten home games. A point out of this guarantees them sixth.

Burnley News and Form

Burnley have produced a great season and they are sitting on the threshold of reaching Europe next season. The Clarets have produced a good run of form, picking up a W4 D3 L1 record in their last eight games in the top flight. They have failed to win any of their last three played though (D1 L2) but they have remained unbeaten in their last four away games. Their record on the road against the current top six is pretty good this season as they have won at Chelsea and earned a point in trips to Liverpool, Spurs and Man Utd. They lost at Man City, but have shown that they can tough it out in the big games. Burnley have conceded under a goal per game on their travels this season. They have tallied just the 20 goals in their 18 away games this season but if they could land a win in this one and draw level on points with Arsenal it would make things pretty interesting. 71% of Burnley’s away goals conceded have been in the second half of matches. In the bet365 correct score market, the shortest priced option is an Arsenal 1-0 at 13/2 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 10:55 p.m. on May 1st, 2018). Ashley Barnes is in a bit of scoring form with him having scored in three of Burnley’s last four away games.

Arsenal v Burnley Head to Head

Arsenal took a 1-0 win at Turf Moor earlier in the season and that made it seven wins on the bounce against the Clarets in all competitions. From the seven previous Premier League meetings between the clubs, Arsenal are W6 D1 winning all three of their home games. Four of Arsenal’s last five league wins against Burnley have been with a clean sheet.
