xG Points to Over 2.50 Goals

Both sides are in excellent form heading into the game. Chelsea have lost only one of their eleven in all competitions and arrive on a high, having beaten Barcelona 3-0 here in midweek. Arsenal, meanwhile, were unbeaten in fifteen in all competitions before their midweek Champions League clash with Bayern Munich at the Emirates. The table suggests that Arsenal have been the better and more consistent side over the first third of the season. But what do the xG numbers say? Let’s take a look at the respective home and away figures for the London rivals.

So far at home, Chelsea are averaging 2.04 goals-for per game and 1.33 against. Arsenal’s average numbers on the road stand at 1.80 for and 0.83 against. Combining these figures suggests a scoreline of Chelsea 1.44 – 1.57 Arsenal, or total goals of 3.01. With Arsenal missing defensive lynchpin Gabriel, over 2.5 goals with both teams to score appears to be a solid foundation for our bet builder.

Card Pointers

Ahead of any derby game, it is always tempting to lean towards overs in the cards market. To select how high we need to go, let's again look at the records of the sides so far this season. Chelsea’s home games are averaging 4.19 cards per game. Arsenal’s respective numbers sit at 3.00, creating an average of 3.60. With the derby element in effect, we will take the conservative approach and side with over 3.50 cards.

Boost Bet with Corners?

Arsenal's efficiency from corners is well documented. The Gunners' goal threat from corners likely leads to many teams factoring the avoidance of corners into their tactics. However, that is easier said than done. Arsenal are averaging a league-high seven corners per game on the road while conceding an average of 3.67 per match. Chelsea’s home games have featured an average of 10.83 corners per game. Both numbers exceed 10.5, which will act as the next leg of our bet builder.
