Arsenal vs Leeds Bet Builder Tips: Sunday May 8th

I’ve gone for a Sunday afternoon bet builder at odds of 8.00, as Arsenal play host to Leeds and with the Gunners looking to put further distance between themselves and Tottenham, this could be a pivotal weekend in the race for fourth.

Going into this weekend’s action, Arsenal find themselves with a two-point advantage over their nearest rivals and with the Premier League fixtures certainly favouring them this time around, two could become as much as five by the end of Sunday

Then again, one cannot necessarily overlook Leeds before the weekend gets underway and with the Elland Road outfit being pulled into the relegation mire, a two-horse race in Burnley and Everton has now welcomed a new entrant.

One that when looking at the three sides involved, is arguably in the worst place right now and although results have not been all that bad under new manager Jesse Marsch, the results of the Clarets and the Toffees have been unexpectedly better.

While you cannot ignore Leeds’s goal difference either and with 72 goals conceded in just 34 Premier League outings, it is this metric alone which may eventually cause Marsch and his players the biggest problem of all.

Because with more than two goals on average being conceded per Premier League game, that is an eye watering number of goals to ship and although the new managerial incumbent cannot be solely blamed for defensive woe, he must shoulder some of the criticism after last Saturday.

An evening where Leeds conceded four more to Manchester City and in a time where pragmatism would not have gone a miss, a lack of this very attribute, now has those involved looking nervously over their shoulders.

However, now is not the time to be fearful and if they do show this at the Emirates, Arsenal will be ready to pick them apart and after winning each of their last three league outings, their previous streak of defeats by the same length has been quickly forgotten.

Especially if Mikel Arteta can oversee a fourth straight success and even if they do not manage to go five clear of Tottenham, having positional supremacy before next Thursday’s North London derby will be absolutely huge.

While the best way to achieve this is by winning on Sunday and with them perhaps being considered as slow starters but still finding that extra gear when it matters, backing a halftime draw and fulltime Arsenal win at odds of 4.50 seems rather appealing.

In addition to this, Arsenal have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last six league outings and with this in mind, backing both teams to score at odds of 1.75, is also something that would look good on your betting slip.

Before the weekend, I have plumped for an Arsenal win and in doing so they will continue their charge towards a Champions League return. In addition to this, I think both teams will score and Bukayo Saka will net one for Arsenal, as there are also 9 or more corners in total.

WHAT IS A BET BUILDER?

A bet builder is a kind of accumulator bet solely focussed on one match. A standard acca features multiple selections across different selections combined together into one bet. If one selection loses, the whole bet loses. A bet builder is similar but each selection is placed on the same match. Similar to the American prop bet, the bet builder goes into detail on a single match. Common selections include match outcome, total goals, cards, corners, and players to score.
