Betting on Hull City (+450)
One team that has definitely defied expectations in the Premier League this season is Hull City. They have grabbed a whopping seven points over their first four games. That’s quite a surprise considering the Tigers entered the new season without a manager and them carrying an under-strength squad.
Things are bound to get tougher, though, for the Tigers as they will face powerhouse Arsenal in their next match. They have lost seven of their last eight Premier League meetings with the Gunners. For Hull to record a major shock this coming weekend, they will need to get another huge performance from Robert Snodgrass. He has had a hand in five goals in his past eight league appearances for Hull, scoring three and assisting two. Snodgrass’ 95th-minute free kick on Saturday helped Hull rescue a point against Burnley.
The Tigers are pegged at +100,000 to win the Premier League title this season.
Betting on Arsenal (-187)
Arsenal will head to their Premier League clash with Hull City with momentum on their side after recording an enthralling 1-1 draw against European giants Paris Saint-Germain in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday. This result comes on the heels of their 2-1 win over Southampton in the Premier League this past weekend. Arsenal have been playing some excellent football of late, going 2-1-0 over their last three matches.
They will look to keep the momentum going this coming Saturday when they take on surprise package Hull City. The Gunners will fancy their chances of extending that excellent run against the Tigers as they have fared extremely well against them of late. Arsene Wenger’s men are unbeaten in their last 12 meetings with the Tigers. Arsenal have outscored Hull City, 28-7, during that span.
Expected to lead Arsenal’s charge today is Alexis Sanchez. The Chilean striker leads the Gunners in scoring with two goals this season. He displayed his attacking brilliance in the draw against PSG, firing in the equalizer from Arsenal’s first shot on target. He has now scored four and assisted five of Arsenal’s last 14 Champions League goals. Sanchez now needs to translate that excellent form in Europe to the English top flight. He scored 13 goals in the Premier League last campaign.
The Gunners are pegged at +1,400 to win the Premier League crown this season.
