Arsenal’s round 28 fixture against Leicester City was postponed due to the domestic cup games and will be played on Wednesday. That means that The Gunners have to play two Premier League rounds in 4 days (home with Leicester and away against Tottenham). Arsenal’s primary objective is to finish the season in top 4 and earn a lucrative Champions League spot. But it will be difficult as they currently sit 7th place in the standings, seven points below 4th place Manchester City and 9 points below 3rd place Liverpool. But in the same time they have a match in hand on The Citizens and three on The Reds.
Arsene Wenger and his players have been under pressure all season long proving to be an inconsistent team in the Premier League and in the Champions League. They have been struggling to find their best shape but unfortunately for them with no result. But let’s look on the bright side and see that Arsenal booked their FA Cup final place winning in extra time against Manchester City with a decider goal from their most important player this season Alexis Sanchez. The Gunners have lost just two home games this term and they are prized @1.6 to win this match with the green listed bookmaker Bet365.
With so much at stake, this fixture could be really tense. Leicester are not the same team from the start of the season but they are not the same team from last year either. Leicester’s superb campaign in Champions League came to an end when losing their double leg match against Atletico Madrid. It may be over but they went as far in the UCL as Bayern Munich and Barcelona being the only English team in the Champions League quarter finals. Since sacking Ranieri they’ve climbed in 15th place and they are now six points clear of the 1st relegation place Swansea but also with 2 matches in hand on them. They will put their best effort to earn at least one point from this tough travel. But their performance on the road is really poor winning just one away contest (3-2 against West Ham). Not only that but they have the 3rd worst away defense conceding 35 goals in 16 rounds.
The reverse match saw a goalless draw with Arsenal winning three from their last four mutual encounters. Leicester are the underdogs and they are prized @9.5 with Bet365. It’s a tough match to call so we will pass the winners market. The Gunners should enter this match full of confidence and with a great morale after winning against Manchester City in the FA Cup Semi-Final. We expect a thrilling match full of opportunities and we think that both squads will find the back of the net.
Best pick for the match:
Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals in the match @1.75 with Bet Victor
