Huddersfield v Arsenal Betting Tips – Premier League 13th May 3.00pm

All credit due for Huddersfield who were staring down the barrel of a tremendously difficult end of season run-in. But having picked up back to back draws on the road against Man City and then Chelsea, the Terriers have gotten themselves safe and can breathe a sigh of relief. Arsenal suffered a loss against Leicester in midweek and given their poor away form won’t be relishing this road game.

Huddersfield News and Form

The Terriers deserve a tremendous amount of credit. They would have looked at their final run in of games and would have felt a bit stressed out. But a surprise point at Man City last weekend was followed up by another great point at Stamford Bridge in midweek. That draw with Chelsea guaranteed Huddersfield’s top flight status next season. So the Terriers can relax and it looks as if they have already been in a party mood. Their home form is at W6 D5 L7 for the season and they have won just one of their last four on home soil. They have struggled for goals recently with just the two netted in their last four and just because of the way that they have defended recently the temptation would be to go under 2.5 goals with BetVictor at 7/5 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:10 a.m.). There is a trend as their last four at home have gone under the goal line. Will they be bringing their A-game though? The Terriers have produced just sixteen goals in their eighteen home games this season bit defensively they haven’t been all that bad having conceded an average of 1.3 goals per game. There has been a clean sheet in 39% of their home games this term.

Arsenal News and Form

Arsenal have produced some terrible form away from the Emirates this season and that continued with a loss at Leicester on Wednesday. The Gunners have lost all of their seven away games in the league during 2018 in a shocking run. Overall they have just the three wins this season on the road (D4 L11) and their defence has been a shambles at times. They have been so good at home and so poor away from home so it’s such a strange season from them. Both teams to score at BetVictor is at 8/13 odds* (betting odds taken on May 9th, 2018 at 6:10 a.m.) for the game as the Gunners are capable of producing in attack and they are on a nine-match scoring streak in the top flight home and away combined. Each of their last ten games have finished above the 2.5 goals line and they have shipped at least two goals in each of their last four away from the Emirates. There has been a clean sheet for Arsenal in just 17% of their road games and are winless in eight on their travels and with no clean sheet in nine. This is Arsene Wenger’s final action with the Gunners, will they give him a positive farewell?
