Arsenal v Tottenham Pre-Season Friendly Betting Tips 31/07/2025

North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham face off in a pre-season clash at Kai Tak Sports Park in Hong Kong on Thursday, so here’s our Arsenal v Tottenham Pre-Season Friendly Betting Tips. Both sides have made differing starts to pre-season, with Arsenal starting strongly against AC Milan and Newcastle. Tottenham have been less convincing against lower-league opponents as they adapt to life under Thomas Frank. This high-profile friendly kicks off at 1:30 p.m. UK time and will be streamed live via both clubs’ official websites.

Form & Team News

Arsenal have made an impressive start to their pre-season campaign, securing two victories in Singapore. Mikel Arteta’s side edged past AC Milan (1-0) thanks to Bukayo Saka’s second-half goal. The Gunners then battled back from a goal down to beat Newcastle United 3-2 on Sunday. 

Tottenham, now under new head coach Frank, remain unbeaten so far in pre-season, but their performances have been less convincing compared to Arsenal. Spurs started with a comfortable 2-0 win over Reading, but followed that win with a 2-2 draw against Wycombe. Tottenham then had another stalemate, drawing 0-0 with Luton on Saturday. 

Regarding team news, Gabriel Jesus remains sidelined for Arsenal with a long-term injury. Spurs are without winger Dejan Kulusevski and centre-back Radu Dragusin.

Match Winner Bet

Arsenal and Tottenham will be eager to put in strong performances, despite the less intense nature of a pre-season friendly. Spurs head into this clash as the underdogs, as they have won just once in their previous four matches. The North Londoners are still adapting to Frank and look slightly unsettled as they try to find rhythm under the Danish coach. The bookmakers have Spurs down as an unlikely winner in Hong Kong, and 10Bet are offering 4/1 odds. Tottenham have not lost under Frank yet, securing one victory and two draws, so a draw could be a better higher-odds selection. Paddy Power have the best potential returns for this outcome at 7/2. Given their superior form, continuity under Arteta, Arsenal look well-placed to extend their pre-season winning streak. The Gunners have now won four games in a row and are playing with confidence. In addition, Arsenal have the better recent head-to-head record against Spurs, notching three consecutive wins over their rivals. The bookmakers are offering decent odds for an Arsenal victory in Hong Kong and Bet365 will return 8/13. 

BTTS (Both Teams To Score) Betting

Both teams to score is another appealing market for this all-North London clash. Arsenal have seen BTTS land in five of their last seven games, while three of the last four meetings with Spurs have also produced goals at both ends. Tottenham have seen BTTS in two of their previous four games, and conceding twice against Wycombe showcased their defensive vulnerabilities on Saturday. BTTS looks like a good bankroll builder in what could be a lively pre-season derby in Hong Kong. Betfred has the best value currently at 1/2. 

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

Tottenham’s attackers have struggled to find goalscoring rhythm in pre-season. However, Pape Matar Sarr has emerged as a goalscoring threat. The Senegal international struck twice in Spurs’ 2-2 draw with Wycombe and now has three goal contributions in his previous four appearances. With Tottenham’s forward line lacking momentum, it is worth sticking with Sarr to score against Arsenal. With Bet365 offering 8/1 odds, a Sarr goal could be a decent pick with a low outlay. Arsenal paraded new star striker Viktor Gyokeres ahead of the Newcastle game, and the former Sporting CP attacker is likely to feature here. The Swedish international is a proven goalscorer, netting 10 goals in his last seven matches. Gyokeres will be eager to showcase his skills at Arsenal, and he is a good value pick in the anytime goalscorer market on Friday. At 8/11, Bet365 have the best returns for Gyokeres to score against Spurs.
