Arsenal vs Fulham Predictions, Odds & Sports Betting Tips 26/08/2023

Saturday’s Premier League action sees Fulham travel to the Emirates Stadium to take on high flying Arsenal. The Gunners have a 100% record so far in the League, whilst Fulham will be looking to bounce back from last week’s 0-3 reverse to Brentford.

It looks set to be an exciting London derby, and our betting experts have scoured the stats and assessed the formbook to bring you their prediction for the game. So read on to find out how you can land a betting bonus for the game.

After two wins to start the season, Arsenal will be in a confident mood heading into the weekend. Monday night’s 0-1 win at Crystal Palace was all the more impressive as they played the last half hour with 10 men, and Mikel Arteta will be delighted with the resilience shown by his team.

A big positive for Arteta has been the way new signing Declan Rice has slotted seamlessly into the midfield, giving the team a more solid look in the middle of the park. If Arsenal are to mount a serious title challenge this season, Rice will be instrumental.

The departure of talismanic striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has cast a shadow over the start of Fulham’s season. Last Saturday’s 0-3 defeat at home to Brentford demonstrated the big void that the Serbian leaves behind. Manager Marco Silva will need to rethink his strategy if the Cottagers are to replicate last season’s top ten finish.

Fulham have won just one of their last 17 games against the Gunners and it has been over 10 years since they beat their rivals. Arsenal’s dominance in the fixture is demonstrated by the fact they have won 8 of the previous 9 meetings between the teams. Overall, the head to head reads 42-8 in Arsenal’s favour.

Our statistical highlights for the game look at the recent form of the two teams. Looking at these stats before assessing the sports betting odds for the game will really improve your chances of finding a winning wager.

Most betting apps have Arsenal priced at around 4/17 for the game. The visitors are big underdogs and can be backed at 14/1 for the fixture. Meanwhile, the football betting odds for a draw are 6/1.

We’re going with the bookies here. Arsenal are looking very solid this season, whilst Fulham are yet to convince despite their opening day win at Everton. Simply put, Arsenal look like a far stronger team.

Because the odds of a Gunners’ win are so short, your best option is to include this selection as part of an acca. Alternatively, you could look at the handicap markets which have (for example) Arsenal at 3/1 to win by more than two goals.
