Arsenal take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 8 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, October 8th at Emirates Stadium (London).
In the central match of the next Premier League round, we have another duel between two teams that battled for the championship between them last season. It's another tactical showdown between the student and the teacher on the coaching sidelines. Specifically, Arsenal's attack is in great shape - they have scored in all seven of their matches, netting a total of 15 goals while conceding only three. The Both Teams to Score (BTTS) bet has paid off in Arsenal's matches against Tottenham (2-2), Manchester United (3-1), Fulham (2-2), and even Nottingham Forest (2-1). Can the Gunners score against the reigning champions of the country? And why not, really?

Expecting a goal from Manchester City in this encounter is also logical. In seven rounds, Guardiola's men have scored 17 goals in the Premier League, even more than Arsenal. Despite their first loss of the season, the Cityzens still top the league table, having won six of their previous encounters. Manchester City have scored in every match they've played. However, the team's defense has had occasional lapses, resulting in victories over Sheffield United (2-1), Fulham (5-1), West Ham United (3-1), and a surprising defeat to Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-2). In the last group stage match of the Champions League, Guardiola's team also played BTTS, beating RB Leipzig 3-1. Similarly, Arsenal lost to Lens (1-2).
I recall that in the previous season, bookmakers often favored Manchester City as the more obvious favorite in matches against Arsenal. Now, the bookmakers are more cautious, and they have good reason to offer such odds. Personally, I don't even want to think about who the favorite is in this match, or if there even is one. I recommend simply stocking up on everything you need to watch the central match of the Premier League round, placing a Both Teams to Score bet, and enjoying the exciting football and a minimum of goal exchanges from two attacking teams. Last season, these teams played against each other four times, and in all cases, the BTTS prediction was successful. This includes two matches in the Premier League where City defeated their opponent 3-1 and 4-1. However, in the battle for the Community Shield this August, regular time ended in a draw (1-1).
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
