13th August 2022 – 16:00, Emirates Stadium, London
Arsenal and Leicester City will face each other in the Premier League 2nd round. The home side seeks another victory at the start of the season, while the visitors look forward to picking up some points.
Arsenal Preview & Team News
Arsenal will look to build on a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace when they host Leicester City at their Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The Gunners impressed in the season opener, but they do not want to stop now. Despite failing to find the net on his official Arsenal debut, Gabriel Jesus will continue to lead the line for the capital club while there are no fresh injury worries in Mikel Arteta’s team. Arsenal’s defense has been pretty tight lately, as they conceded in only one of the last four games. On the other hand, their offense bagged eight goals in the previous two games. The Gunners are full of confidence, and they want to pick up where they left off.
Leicester City Preview & Team News
On the other hand, the Foxes played out a 2-2 draw with Brentford in the season’s opening match. That draw broke their four-game winning streak during the pre-season. Although Leicester City enjoyed a 2-0 lead, they didn’t manage to convert it into three points. Brendan Rodgers continues to rely on Jamie Vardy up front, and he is likely to stick to the 3-5-1-1 formation. The likes of Harvey Barnes, Ryan Bertrand, and Ricardo Pereira are sidelined with injuries for the away team. The away side wants to bounce back and put a good display against a tough opponent.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Although Leicester City is a tricky team, Arsenal has been excellent this summer. Therefore, we think the Gunners will continue in the same fashion and record another home victory.
Goals Market Prediction
Six of their last seven encounters stayed under a 2.5 margin, but we don’t believe we’ll see another low-scoring game. Both teams have been pretty productive lately, and they should produce at least three goals in total.
