Our betting predictions for Arsenal vs Liverpool match are:
Arsenal vs Liverpool Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Arsenal have been sound defensively conceding only 5 goals in their last eight games while Liverpool have kept two clean sheets in their last three games. Hence we expect a low scoring match and betting on less than 2.5 goals being conceded in the match at odds of 2.07 (bet365) is a safe bet.
Diogo Jota has been Liverpool’s key man in big matches and has 12 goals this season. Betting on him to score at odds of 2.20 (betway) is a good bet.
As we expect a less attacking match with Liverpool missing Salah and Mane, betting on under 10.5 corners being conceded at odds of 1.60 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
Quick Rich
The first leg of the semi final ended in a 0-0 draw with only 9 corners being conceded in the match. We expect the teams to play defensively in the second leg too, therefore betting on a combination of under 10.5 corners and under 3.5 goals being conceded at odds of 3.20 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Arsenal will be missing key players due to injuries and covid while Liverpool dominated against Brentford and look in good form. Hence we expect Liverpool to narrowly win this game with the final scoreline being 1-0 at odds of 9.00 (bet365) or 2-0 at odds of 11.00 (bet365).
Win/Lose/Draw
Arsenal might miss key players such as Tomiyasu, Xhaka and Emile Smith Rowe and have not won in their last three games. Therefore Liverpool are favourites to win at odds of 2.05 (bet365) or qualify for the final round at odds of 1.61 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
If Arsenal get an early lead, we expect them to hold their lead and win the game at odds of 3.50 (betway).
