Arsenal vs West Ham Betting Preview

The Gunners have started the new Premier League campaign in the fifth gear, with a 3-0 win over Fulham in Round 1. That game saw some really great performances of Arsenal’s key players, starting with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. Each striker was sensational in the game, scoring one goal each.

The third goal in the game was scored by defender Gabriel, who made his Arsenal debut. He was equally good at the back, keeping the Fulham attackers away from Leno’s goal.

Still, the man of the match was none of them. It was Willian, another fresh signing, who came from Chelsea this summer. The Brazilian was fabulous in the game, with two assists and plenty of run-through past Fulham defenders.

West Ham, on the other hand, have not start their new Premier League campaign very well. In fact, they lost to Newcastle by 2-0. Obviously, the defeat at the start of the season has made their fans angry. And their anger is aimed at the Dildo Brothers.

Dildo Brothers Out!

David Gold and David Sullivan have been the majority owners of West Ham since 2010. During that era, the club has seen some major upsets, sinking to the Championship and losing many important derbies. They did, however, invest a lot of money in new signings, as well as in the construction of their new stadium.

Still, the fans do not like the two owners. Actually, they call them the Dildo Brothers, an offensive moniker, poking fun at their investments in the pornographic industry. The two English businessmen started their rise to the riches making porn movies and selling sex toys back in the 1970s.

That, however, is not the only controversy surrounding the Dildo Brothers. More recently, David Sullivan appointed his inexperienced 18-year-old son as the boss of West Ham United Ladies. Then, just before the 2020 season, the Dildo Brothers decided to sell the former England Under-21 winger Grady Diangana to West Brom, which upset the club captain Mark Noble. According to him, they shouldn’t have let such promising talent go away.

The skipper expressed his opinion on Twitter and his post was liked by a number of West Ham players, including Declan Rice and Arthur Masuaku.  

A London Derby

West Ham are having problems, that is a fact. And there might be more problems coming their way this weekend when they’re traveling a few miles to the east of London to play Arsenal at the Emirates. Although Arsenal vs West Ham is not the biggest of London Derbies, it’s certainly a big rivalry.

Arsenal has won four of their previous five meetings, in which West Ham scored a total of only four goals. The most recent one was played just before the Premier League went on the COVID-19 hiatus. It happened on March 7, 2020, and the Gunners won the match by 1-0.

More goals are expected this time as Arsenal players are in a great shape at the moment, both physically and mentally. West Ham, on the other hand, have no other option by to give their best and try to grab at least a point. The only way to do it is by attacking.

Arsenal vs West Ham Betting Prediction

In 2020, West Ham kept a clean sheet in only one Premier League game. It happened when they beat Norwich by 4-0. What this suggests is that their defense is poor, but when they attack, they can do well. This is why we can expect them to try to play a little bit more offensively than usual.

Arsenal, on the other hand, do not know how to defend. Their style is to attack all the time. What this means is that we’re likely to see a lot of goals in this game. But, who’s going to win? Arsenal, there’s no doubt about that! After all, the Gunners are a much better team.

When it comes to soccer prop bets, you might wish to consider betting on a large number of cards. Why? Well, first of all, Arsenal players are rough. This is the team with the most cards overall in the 2019 Premier League season. The other reason is that the West Ham players are nervous and angry, hence, they might not be able to control their emotions on Saturday.

Arsenal vs West Ham Betting Picks

Betting on Over 2.5 Goals seems like a really good bet. Still, the best Arsenal vs West Ham betting pick is to back the Gunners. They will win this game, probably with at least two or three goals in West Ham’s net.
