Southampton v Arsenal Premier League Betting Tips 16/04/2022
Southampton vs Arsenal has a do-or-die feel this weekend, so now’s the time to read our Southampton v Arsenal Premier League Betting Tips 16/04/2022. Both sides are on poor runs of form, and they desperately need a victory to stop the rot. The Saints have dropped from top half contenders and European outsiders to bottom half candidates. Arsenal’s dip in form has seen them drop from the top four places as they desperately battle to make Champions League qualification for next season. Another defeat could be disastrous for either side, which could lead to an enticing match at St Mary’s. This match kicks off at 3p.m on Saturday.
Team News/Form
Southampton suffered their biggest defeat of the season at St Mary’s in their most recent fixture. The Saints were thrashed 6-0 at home against Chelsea, and the Saints remain on a winless run to six in all competitions. Arsenal’s chances of a top-four finish have taken a big hit since the international break. In their last two, the Gunners have recorded consecutive losses for the first time since December in the Premier League. A 3-0 humbling at Crystal Palace came before a 2-1 loss at home against Brighton.
In terms of team news, Southampton’s Shane Long, Alex McCarthy and Lyanco are unlikely to feature. However, they could be boosted by the return of striker Armondo Broja. Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu is doubtful, while Kieran Tierney (knee) and Thomas Partey (thigh) are ruled out.
Match Winner Betting Odds
Looking at the match winner odds, Arsenal are clear favourites ahead of this clash. There is good reason for this too, as the Gunners have won five of their last six away matches and their last two against the Saints. Currently, SportNation has the best value odds at 1/1 for a Gunners away win. For Southampton, a home win appears unlikely this weekend. Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side has lost five of their last six in all competitions and their last four on the spin at St Mary’s. Due to this, a Southampton victory appears unlikely, with QuinnBet providing 3/1 odds for a home win. However, the best value market this weekend, and our match winner tip for Southampton vs Arsenal, is to back a draw. Neither side is in impressive form, and both sides are likely to tighten up this weekend. SpreadEx will provide the best value for a draw at St Mary’s at 11/4.
BTTS Bet Tips
Even though a cagey match is expected, there could be goals at both ends of the pitch during Southampton vs Arsenal. The two sides have struggled defensively in recent weeks, which could lead to value in both teams to score market. Firstly, Southampton has failed to keep a clean sheet in their last seven and conceded 14 in their last four at home. The Saints have also seen BTTS in four of their last five in all competitions. In addition, Arsenal has been leaky since the international break, shipping five in their last two and failing to keep a clean sheet in six of their last eight. With BTTS Yes likely this weekend, William Hill’s 4/5 odds is our pick.
Anytime Goalscorer Betting Tips
As goals could come for both sides in this fixture, additional value can be found in the anytime goalscorer market. For Southampton, there has been no out-and-out goalscorer this season. However, captain James Ward-Prowse always poses a threat and the midfielder is the Saints’ top scorer with ten for the 2021/22 campaign. At 4/1, provided by Sporting Index, Ward-Prowse could be a good outside option for an anytime scorer. But our pick this weekend is Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka. This season, Saka has been the Gunner’s key attacking threat, and the forward has netted in two of his last three away matches. Also, the England starlet scored at St Mary’s last season in a 3-1 victory, and we are picking Saka to score again this weekend, with Paddy Power offering 10/3 odds.
