Sunderland vs. Arsenal Preview & Tips
Sunderland and Arsenal meet at the Emirates Stadium for the second time in as many weeks when they clash in the FA Cup 5th Round on Saturday. Arsenal pulled a late win out of the hat against Sunderland last week, and will be looking to take out an Arsenal side softened by a big midweek loss in the Champions League.
Sunderland vs. Arsenal Trends Analysis
Arsenal have beaten Sunderland in five of their last ten meetings, lost once to the Black Cats, while four matches ended in draws. Sunderland’s only win was achieved at home in 2009, and Arsenal has managed just two away wins at the Stadium of light during this period.
Arsenal and Sunderland last clashed at the Stadium of Light a week ago, with Arsenal running out 2-1 winners thanks to a game winning goal from Thierry Henry on 91 minutes.
That result left Arsenal with three wins, a draw and a loss from their last five games – results which include their draw and subsequent win against Middlesbrough.
Sunderland have put away a respectable 8 goals in their last five matches. Defence has also done well, letting in just 4 goals during this time and maintaining 2 clean sheets.
Arsenal were cruising with three wins and a draw from four matches when they bumped into AC Milan in the Champions League. The Italians proceeded to give the Gunners a football lesson, all but ending their European dreams with a 4-0 hiding.
That defeat left Arsenal’s defensive record looking patchy indeed, with 8 goals conceded in five matches. A big win over Blackburn balances the scale back in Arsenal’s favour, with the Gunners having scored 11 goals in their last five games.
Sunderland vs. Arsenal Betting Tips
Sunderland came very close to drawing with Arsenal on the weekend, and must fancy their chances against an Arsenal outfit smarting from a big loss to AC Milan. The mental strength of Arsene Wenger’s men will be exposed in this fixture, and it looks like an outing that could easily end in the draw.
A look at the stats shows two teams that have cumulatively scored 19 goals in five matches, averaging almost 4 goals a game between them. In addition they have cumulatively let in 12 goals.
These stats suggest that a back bet a close to even odds on over 2.75 goals being scored in the over/under goals betting markets at Bet365 is the best Sunderland vs. Arsenal betting tip.
