After yet another international break, the Premier League is back this weekend for matchweek 8.
Arsenal sit top of the league after seven games, winning five, drawing one and losing one. Fulham sit in 14th place at the moment, winning twice, drawing twice and losing three times in their first seven.
Arsenal are -185 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +340. Fancy a Fulham upset? The Cottagers are +475 to get the upset win.
Fulham vs. Arsenal Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. I like the Gunners to win this game without conceding a goal. Arsenal have arguably the best defense in Europe right now, and are proving near impossible to score against. In 10 games in all competitions, they have only allowed three total goals. Those came against some of the best sides in England, as Liverpool, Man City and Newcastle all managed to score once against the Gunners.
Fulham haven’t exactly been scoring goals for fun this season, as their eight goals in seven games suggest. While it’s not an awful goal-scoring record, 11 Premier League teams have scored nine or more times so far this season.
Fulham have been a bit of a bogey team for the Gunners in recent games, with Arsenal only winning two of the last five matchups between these sides. However, the same could be said in their last home game against West Ham, where they had lost the previous two home games to the Hammers before putting that narrative to bed with a 2-0 win.
I don’t think Arsenal will run away with this one by any means, but they should continue to be rock solid at the back and find a way to score a goal or two on the other end. Arsenal have scored at least once in nine of 10 games in all competitions this season.
