Fulham vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips: Sunday, March, 12

There is an intriguing all-London Premier League clash at Craven Cottage and we have got Fulham v Arsenal bet builder tips.

Victory for the visitors will be their fifth on the spin and keep Manchester City at arm’s length.

The Gunners edged the reverse at the Emirates winning 2-1, despite going a goal behind. Aleksandar Mitrovic picked the pocket of Gabriel Magalhaes to put the Cottagers ahead against the run of play.

Martin Odegaard equalised and fittingly Gabriel grabbed the winning goal, making amends for his error.

That victory back at the end of August was Mikel Arteta’s side’s fourth in as many league games, and set the foundation for their title charge.

Those three points propelled them to the top of the league, Fulham sat in mid-table.

Not many people would have honestly thought when these sides met in West London for the return fixture, that Fulham would be in pursuit of European football and Arsenal would be five points clear at the top of the league.

That’s where we are though.

The Gunners’ title credentials have really been put to the sword. From key injuries to FA scrutiny. The most recent test came in the form of relegation stricken Bournemouth who raced to a 2-0 lead in North London last Saturday.

Arteta’s side drew level before Reiss Nelson snatched the winner in the seventh minute of stoppage time. On a poor afternoon, it was the type of goal that makes you think, they’re actually going to win the league, even though the noise was different at the Emirates.

Fulham were narrowly beaten in a five goal thriller on Monday against Brentford.

This was the first time Marco Silva’s side have lost in eight games, a run that has seen them reach the quarter final of the FA Cup.

The hosts will fancy their chances against the league leaders.

In their games against other members of the traditional ‘big six’ they have been very competitive.

They have played eight games against the big boys, winning one, drawing two and losing the other five by a single goal.

The Cottages narrowly lost on their trips to the Emirates, Etihad and Tottenham. At Craven Cottage, they beat Chelsea and ran Manchester United close, Alejandro Garnacho snatching the points in injury time.

With that considered, I think the 6.00 about a home win is too large but the 2.38 for the Fulham win/draw double chance is certainly worth a punt.

In the 16 games before the turn of the year, Arsenal only dropped points twice, averaging 2.7 points per game.

In the 11 games in 2023, they have dropped points in four games, averaging 2.1 points.

Arteta’s side are also conceding more goals, last year they averaged 0.88 per game. This year, that has risen to 1.18 per game.

Man City scored thrice, Man U scored twice, as did Aston Villa and Bournemouth and Brentford and Everton found the net over the last eight games. Over this period, Arsenal have only kept two clean sheets.

This is why I think it is worth combining Fulham double chance with both teams to score.

The Cottagers are pretty obliging when it comes to goals, and their attack will be bolstered by the return of Aleksandar Mitrovic who has started the last two games.
