Arsenal to rip through Bournemouth at home in EPL action

JustBet offers Bournemount at odds of $11.00 to beat Arsenal

Arsenal and Manchester City are in a heated battle for the Premier League title, while Stuttgart and Bayern Munich are in a similar scenario for second place in the German Bundesliga.

Arsenal will host Bournemouth in the early kick off on Saturday, then later in the day Stuttgart will square off against Bayern Munich.

Event # 1 – EPL – Arsenal vs Bournemouth – 6:30 AM

League leaders Arsenal had their unbeaten start to 2024 ended with a 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa, but the Gunners bounced back immediately with a 5-0 hammering of the woeful Chelsea, at home, to get back on track.

Now the Gunners will be licking their lips in anticipation of the visit of their favourite opponents in recent times, as Arsenal have scored at least three goals in each of their last three matches against Bournemouth, including a big 4-0 thrashing when both teams met earlier in the season.

Still leading defending Champions Manchester City by just one point, Arsenal will be aiming to go four-clear atop the league, having been excellent at home all season, winning 13, drawing 2, and losing just two games.

Dortmund, meanwhile, have surprised a few people with their current form in the league, sitting 10th and looks a good bet to finish in the top half of the table.

They enter this match off the back of another dominant performance, beating Brighton 3-0 last weekend and will now be aiming to play spoiler in Arsenal’s title hopes and put an end to their rotten run against the Gunners.

With that said, Bournemouth head into this match in excellent form, having lost just two of their last 10 league matches, including six wins during this run.

Justbet customers who made a bet for $1,500 or more between March 1 and April 28, 2024 will be entered into a draw to win a trip to the 2024 UEFA Champions League finals.

Visit promotions.supregames.com to learn more.

KEY STATS

Arsenal — have kept a clean sheet in five of their last six league games and have scored at least three goals in each of their last three matches against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth — have conceded at least three goals in each of their past three matches against Arsenal, including a 4-0 victory at home earlier this season.

Both sides — Arsenal have hosted Bournemouth seven times at the Emirates and have won on each occasion. In their last meeting back in March 2023, Bournemouth led 0-2, but Arsenal roared back to win 3-2.

The betting Tip. Arsenal win.

Event # 2 GER – Stuttgart vs Bayern Munich – 8:30 AM

With three rounds of matches to go in the German Bundesliga, the battle for second place is heating up as third-placed Stuttgart and second-placed and defending champions Bayern Munich will go head to head in an eagerly anticipated clash on Saturday, a game that could decide which team finishes behind recently crowned champions Bayer Leverkusen.

Stuttgart have been one of the stories in the Bundesliga season, having defied preseason expectation to secure a spot in next season’s Champions League, thanks in parts to the competition’s expanded format, which ensures that the top five teams qualify and Stuttgart’s position in the table means they cannot finish lower than fifth, even if they were to lose their remaining three matches.

Stuttgart will be confident of beating Bayern on home soil as they have gone unbeaten in their last six at home, winning four and drawing the other two.

Bayern Munich head into this clash high on confidence even though they could only manage a 2-2 at home in midweek against Real Madrid in their Champions League first-leg semi-final showdown.

They enter this clash off the back of two wins in the league, but worryingly is their form on the road, having won just twice, one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the Bundesliga.

This could be concerning for the defending champions as they visit a Stuttgart side that boast the best attacking duo in the league, in Serhou Guirassy and Deniz Undav, who have scored 25 and 18 goals, respectively, so far this season.

However, Bayern will look to counter with the irrepressible Harry Kane who, in his debut season in the Bundesliga, has been phenomenal, scoring 42 goals and providing 13 assists in 42 matches played.

Justbet customers who made a bet for $1,500 or more between March 1 and April 28, 2024 will be entered into a draw to win a trip to the 2024 UEFA Champions League finals.

Visit promotions.supregames.com to learn more.

KEY STATS

Stuttgart — have scored in their last 30 home matches in a row and have scored in their last 19 straight home matches in the league.

Bayern Munich — have scored in 81 of their last 83 away matches in the Bundesliga but have conceded in their last 11 away matches in a row.

Both sides — Stuttgart are winless in their last 13 home games against Bayern Munich in all competitions.

The betting Tip. Stuttgart win.
