Arsenal travel to the Stadium of Light to take on Sunderland today (3pm KO) and rate a solid punt at 19/20 with 888sport to come away with all three points.
The Gunners come into the game having lost just one of their last 6 games in all competitions (W4, D1).
They now sit in sixth place and face a side who are currently 12 points an six places behind them in Premier League.
Arsene Wenger’s men have lost just one of their last nine trips to the north east in the Premier League (W3 D5 L1), and have won 10 and lost just one of their last 18 league games against the Black Cats.
That suggests that they should be good enough to get the job done against Martin O’Neill’s men, although don’t expect a goal fest.
There have been fewer goals scored at the Stadium of Light than at any other Premier League ground (26), so under 2.5 goals looks well worth considering at a standout even money with BetVictor.
In the first goalscorer market Lukas Podolski looks the value at 7/1 with 888sport.
The German has had a hand in 10 goals in his last eight Premier League apps for Arsenal (four goals, six assists), and can also be backed at a tasty looking 9/4 with 888sport to net anytime.
