Arsenal vs Everton match preview
Arsenal have been very inconsistent in recent games and in their last 11 league games they have lost 4, won 4 and drawn 3. They have scored in 6 of their last 7 league games and they scored an average of 1.85 goals per game in those last 7 games. Arsenal have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 11 league games, and they conceded an average of 1.45 goals per game in those last 11 league games.
Everton have been inconsistent themselves and in their last 10 league games they lost 2 in a row, then won 3 in a row, then lost 2 in a row and have now drawn their last 3. Everton have scored in 77.41% of their league games this season and have scored in 16 of their last 21 league games. Everton are not big scorers but are usually consistent at finding the net if they are given chances and against this Arsenal defence its highly likely they will get those chances. Everton won the reverse fixture 2-1 and I think the game will be similar here with both teams scoring and one side maybe just doing enough to pinch the win.
Over 1.5 goals looks a good bet as does both teams to score. Over 2.5 goals looks slightly riskier as it wouldn’t be a huge shock if this finished 1-1 but a draw does nothing for either side so we should see both teams go for the win here.
Arsenal have taken 3 or more corners in 87.50% of their league games this season and Everton have taken 3 or more corners in 83.87% of their league games. Arsenal have taken 3 or more corners in 17 of their last 19 league games and they average 5.10 corners per game in those 19 games. Everton have taken 3 or more corners in all their last 7 league games, but they only average 4.14 corners per game in those 7 games, so they are not a team to put full faith in when it comes to taking 3 or more corners. Everton have taken 2 corners or less in 4 of their last 12 league games and they average just 3.16 corners per game in those last 12 league games.
With both sides taking 3 or more corners in over 80% of their league games this season it’s difficult to say both teams to take 3+ corners is a risky bet but Everton do add some doubt.
Arsenal have been given exactly 1 card in 6 of their last 7 league games and they were given no cards in their last league game. Though Arsenal do average 1.31 yellow cards per game this season and have numerous players who are prone to a rash challenge or picking up a silly card, so it’s still likely that they will pick up at least 1 card, just we wouldn’t bank in arsenal picking up multiple cards. Everton have been given at least 1 card in 18 of their last 20 league games, and they average 1.75 yellow cards per game in those last 20 league games.
Both sides have seen 9 of their last 13 league games end with 30+ match booking points and there were 4 yellow cards when these sides last met in the Premier League earlier this season. So, it looks highly likely both teams pick up at least 1 card and the game will have 30+ match booking points.
So, this is a good game from a betting point of view with goals and cards both looking promising. Corners is the riskier angle but if you trust the season statistics then there is a strong chance that both teams take at least 3 corners to cover the minimum corner bet we would look for. The bet we have picked out is
Both teams to score, 3+ corners each team and 10+ booking points each team. Which is priced up at 5/2 with Skybet
