Bet on Arsenal to Extend Sheffield United’s Winless Streak

· Oct 26 - 5 minutes read

Nine games into the English Premier League season and Arsenal remains unbeaten. Nevertheless, the Gunners are third, which is why they can’t afford to slow down, not even against Sheffield United, one of the two teams that haven’t won. The Gunners’ moneyline is crazy high, so let’s figure out another soccer bet prediction for this Saturday morning match.

Arsenal Coming Off Huge Victory

Before facing Sheffield United, Arsenal made a trip to Seville for the third fixture of the UEFA Champions League group stage, which they won 2-1 to now lead Group B. Gabriel Martinelli and Gabriel Jesus were the scorers.

Beating Sevilla allowed Arsenal to regain a lot of confidence, especially after a 2-2 draw against Chelsea in their last EPL game. Yes, Chelsea is a powerhouse, but the team currently sits in 10th place. Plus, the Arsenal had to recover from a two-goal deficit. Leandro Trossard scored the equalizer in the 84th minute.

Before that, they defeated Manchester City at home. Their last three home games were against City, Tottenham, and Manchester United, and the Gunners finished with a 2-1-0 record, six goals for and three against. If they could handle those three, they should have no trouble handling the team in last place.

Bukayo Saka is the best option to include in your soccer picks as anytime scorer. He has scored four goals, enough to be the team’s top scorer. Martinelli is inspired, scoring in two of their last three matches. Hey, you should always have a plan B.

Sheffield United Not Making Things Easy for Powerhouses

Yes, Sheffield United is winless. However, the Blades aren’t easy prey. They already faced Manchester City, Tottenham and Manchester United, and while they lost all three matches, they also scored, finishing with a one-goal difference.

Most recently, they lost 2-1 to Manchester United, with Sheffield having more shots on goal.

Despite losing, Sheffield’s No. 9, Oli McBurnie, took advantage of a penalty to score his first goal of the season. He executed it perfectly, and you can expect him to be highly motivated for this match.

In the end, Sheffield has nothing to lose and much to win. They already are in the relegation zone and are not a good Premier League betting underdog pick. However, they didn’t play midweek and will be way more rested than the Gunners.

Gunners Won Last Two Meetings

Sheffield United just returned to the EPL, so these two met for the last time in the 2020-21 season. Arsenal won both meetings with a 5-1 aggregate. Sheffield put up a much better fight on the road, with the match at Emirates Stadium finishing 2-1.

While Arsenal is the clear betting online favorite on Saturday, I don’t expect this to be a blowout. If you like to bet on the total, set at 3½ goals, take the under.

Arsenal vs Sheffield United Betting Predictions

Arsenal’s moneyline is too high, which is why I think you should head over to the props, where you’ll find a couple of great options like Arsenal winning halftime-fulltime, which they did in two of their last five games. However, today’s soccer prediction is Arsenal winning to nil. If they managed to keep a clean sheet against the Citizens at Emirates Stadium, they should do the same against Sheffield.
