Match Prediction & Betting Insights
Arsenal’s attacking firepower has been evident in recent encounters with Leicester, scoring 16 goals in their last six meetings. However, their tendency to start slow in away fixtures could give Leicester a window of opportunity in the first half.
With Arsenal’s recent form and Leicester’s struggles in front of goal, the Gunners should have enough quality to secure the win. Betting on Arsenal to win after a tight first half could provide strong value.
