Match Overview: Fulham vs Arsenal

Team Outlook: Arsenal

Arsenal currently tops the EPL table with 16 points. The North London side has won consecutive matches and typically plays a more defensive style. That can frustrate even the top teams. Just ask Manchester City a few weeks back how infuriating their 1-1 draw was. Now imagine a team like Fulham trying to penetrate what feels like a fortress as opposed to a soccer XI that views giving up a goal as end of the world.

The North London side again comes off a clean sheet against West Ham (2-0) on October 4th. Like we mentioned above, getting a week off in the EPL is huge. It allows bettors to get some even earlier numbers and maybe a scoop or two on some potential Arsenal picks.

Injuries are leaving some impact for this match. Currently Team Captain Martin Odegaard could be out 1-2 months (or just weeks) depending on the results of further testing on his knee. Odegaard suffered a MCL knee sprain in the West Ham match. Declan Rice banged his shoulder but was seen training with England earlier this week. He expects to play against Fulham. Noni Madueke will be out until late November with a knee malady. Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus are still at least 1-2 months away.

Team Spotlight: Fulham

Fulham has not fared quite as well as some expected. Currently, they are 2-3-2 on the season with a -3 goal differential. The West London side probably dreams of the +11 goal differential Arsenal currently has. Unfortunately, even though they are home, facing top-table Arsenal presents considerable matchup problems when it comes to EPL Saturday Best Bets.

Among those who fear could miss this match are midfielder Sasa Lukic will be out 4-6 weeks with an adductor injury. If that was not enough, Kenny Tete and Rodrigo Muniz are likely not to be ready by the 18th. Keep an eye on striker Raul Jimenez who has been out since the Aston Villa match in September.

EPL Saturday Best Bets For Fulham vs Arsenal

If you want to bet on this match ending as a draw, the odds on that play in the EPL soccer prop bets are +320. The spread on the match is half a goal. You can go for the moneyline and get -160 for Arsenal which is probably a bit better than expected. Meanwhile, Fulham is getting an astounding +400 at home via Bovada. That is just the beginning for EPL Saturday Best Bets.

The total for the match is 2.5 goals. Bet the over at -125, or go with the under at -115. Let us be honest here. Arsenal has given up all of three goals this EPL season in seven matches. Fulham is barely averaging a goal a game while Arsenal is averaging two. Conventional wisdom screams a 2-1 result but the specter of that clean sheet casts a shadow on that wager.

Something to note is that sneaky moneyline first half bet for Arsenal at +110. Could the North London side sneak a goal in then sit back? It's very possible. That is something they excel at. We have seen it time and time again.

Bet a correct score prop of a 2-0 Arsenal win and get odds of +800. A both teams to score prop is -115 for yes and +170 if you go with the no draw option. An Arsenal win and Under 2.5 goals is now +250.
