Soccer Betting Verdict: Arsenal are trading at a hot favourite price of -175 to win outright and few would be arguing that score. So dominant was their performance against Blackpool that many are sure to be seduced by their value in the coming match.¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

Arsenal are second in the table after as many weeks in the league, on four points and seven goals. Theo Walcott is at the top of the league’s scorers list, hobnobbing with Drogba, Carroll and Malouda, all at three goals.¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

Considering this last performance, betting on the Over is going to be the tempting bet. The Over is tipped at 2 ½ and is trading at -120. ¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

Blackburn are tipped large, at +475 to win outright but I don’t believe they are going to be a cakewalk, as this price would seem to suggest.¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

It is a home match so they have a theoretical shot at the victory. Last season, they went 10-6-3 at home and managed to keep 13 clean sheets in 38 matches. Those are not bad stats at all and this should send them into this clash with proportional optimism.¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

Actually, Blackburn won their last encounter at home to Arsenal 2:1 (May 3, 2010). They did however succumb to a 6:2 loss and a 4:0 loss at the Emirates last year.¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

Blackburn opened their season with a solid 1:0 win over Everton but slipped to a 2:1 defeat at Birmingham City in the second week. ¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

The draw is trading at +265. The last time these two sides played to the draw was in 2007 at Blackburn. They settled 1:1¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ

overall, you have to like Arsenal for the win here at -175. Blackburn have enough quality to avoid a thumping and account respectably therefore they appear tempting on the handicap at +1 -120. I expect a tighter match with a proportional score line. I quite fancy the Under 2 ½ at Evens. ¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ
While the Gunners have obvious firepower, they also have obvious vulnerabilities – their backline isn’t infallible, the keeper being the weakest link of the bunch. Blackburn could exploit this inherent weakness on the pitch. ¥!FcÅ~Gbbs.nowgoal.comCÛýÚ9[ò®Æ
