Sunderland vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. The Gunners have started the new season exactly where they left off at the end of the last campaign. Arsenal have won three games in a row in the new Premier League season, which means they have now won eight straight league games.
They also won their first UCL game against Napoli midweek, which means they have won all four of their matches so far this season. In three of those four games, Arsenal have kept a clean sheet. The Gunners had the best defense in Europe a season ago, and have only conceded one time in four matches so far this season to keep those bragging rights. They are missing William Saliba and Jurrien Timber due to injury, but it doesn’t matter. It’s next man up for Arsenal and they are doing what they’ve been doing for the last few seasons. Summer signing Ezri Konsa has slid perfectly into the starting lineup and looks like he belongs.
Since Sunderland came back up into the Premier League a season ago, these teams have only played each other twice recently. A 2-2 draw and a 3-0 win for Arsenal were the results from last season. Sunderland had a terrific season last year, but it wasn’t due to their attack as only three teams scored fewer goals than the Black Cats.
I think Arsenal will keep another clean sheet here and win their ninth straight Premier League match.
