Tottenham vs Arsenal prediction and betting tips on April 28, 2024
On Sunday evening in London, the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium will host the North London derby between Tottenham and Arsenal. Will the Gunners manage to secure maximum points in this encounter? Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Tottenham
Under the guidance of Ange Postecoglou, the team attempted to enter the battle for a Champions League spot and recently came tantalizingly close to Aston Villa. However, the "Villans," sensing the danger, managed to step up and once again widen the gap from the "Spurs" by six points.
The recent failures of Tottenham are to blame, as they have suffered defeats twice in the last five rounds. While the loss to Newcastle in the last round with a scoreline of 0-4 could still be somewhat explained, the thrashing by Fulham was a genuine shock for the team's supporters. Tottenham has lost only four matches at home, recording 12 victories in the process.
Arsenal
The Gunners have been in contention for the title throughout the season and are now very close to diminishing Liverpool's chances of winning the championship. Manchester City has amassed 76 points in 33 matches, just one point fewer than Arsenal. However, City has played one game less than Mikel Arteta's team.
In terms of dropped points, it is indeed Pep Guardiola's team that leads. For Arsenal to remain in the title race, they need to secure maximum points against Tottenham. In their last match, Arsenal dismantled another London club, Chelsea, by scoring five unanswered goals.
