Arsenal vs Bournemouth Betting Tips: Arsenal to win / Over 2.5 / BTTS

One point clear of Man City at the top of the EPL with three games to play, Arsenal must win their remaining fixtures and hope that the Citizens drop points in one of their four remaining fixtures in the next couple of weeks.

A thrilling title finale seems likely to go to the wire with Arsenal finishing their campaign in strong form. The Gunners have won 13 and lost just one of 15 EPL games played in 2024.

At the Emirates Stadium, Mikel Arteta´s side have been especially impressive with victories racked up in 12 of 16 games played this season, including six of their last seven. The Gunners romped to a 5:0 win against Chelsea in their last home fixture at the end of Apri while they scored at least two goals in all but one of their 12 home victories.

Bournemouth come into Saturday's contest in good form having picked up back-to-back victories in their last two EPL contests. The Cherries sit tenth in the division, a wide 23 points clear of the drop zone.

On the road, Andoni Iraola´s men are an entertaining and tough-to-beat side. The Cherries lost only four of their last 12 away fixtures while they have scored at least one goal in all but one away fixture this season. Bournemouth also scored in two of their last three visits to this venue.

With Arsenal in no mood to drop points, and Bournemouth a strong side on the road, I expect a competitive and entertaining contest at the Emirates. A home win seems likely, but Bournemouth are more than capable of getting on the scoresheet in what could prove a more lively fixture than oddsmakers might imply. 

I´m backing BTTS, with the expectation that the Gunners should eventually emerge with a valuable three points in London.
