LiontipsArsenal vs Manchester City: betting tip (cf 1.85) and bets on the FA Super Cup match
Command Analysis
Current form
Last season, Arsenal's players fulfilled their fans' dream and finally won their first English Premier League title in 22 years. For several years in a row, the North London team was close to first place, but this time Mikel Arteta's team finally took the final step towards the championship, not losing the advantage during the season.
The season could have been even more successful for the Londoners, as the team was close to winning trophies in all competitions. In the FA Cup, they managed to reach the quarter-finals, where Arsenal lost minimally to Southampton. In the final of the English League Cup, the Gunners lost to today's opponent with a score of 0:2.
But the closest thing was success in the Champions League. There, the nominal hosts also reached the finals and even opened the scoring in a duel with PSG with the efforts of Kai Havertz. Nevertheless, the meeting reached the penalty shootout, where the Parisians were luckier.
Before the new season, the team was strengthened by Bruno Guimaraes, the Brazilian moved from Newcastle for 87.5 million euros. There are also high hopes for the Greek winger Christos Tsolis, who shone in Bruges last season and was bought out for 40 million. Leandro Trossard left the team and the Belgian was sold to Besiktas.
Disqualifications and injuries
Saliba will miss the match due to a back injury. Copley's entry into the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- Arsenal have not beaten Manchester City in their last three head-to-head matches.
- In the last six matches of the Londoners, an exchange of goals was recorded.

Approximate line-up: Raya - Calafiori, Gabriel, Mosquera, White - Subimendi, Lewis-Skelly - Zolis, Edegor, Madueke - Diokeres
Current form
We can say that this season marks the end of an era for Manchester City. After 10 years of work, Pep Guardiola has left the club, and Italian Enzo Maresca will now take over as head coach. His time at Chelsea was mixed, so it's hard to predict how Maresca will perform at City.
In any case, changes were brewing, because last season the townspeople lost the Premier League title for the second time in a row, seven points behind Arsenal. They also failed to compete for victory in the Champions League - in the 1/8 finals, the Manchester club lost to Real Madrid and was eliminated from the tournament.
Even in such a situation, the Guardiola-led team managed to take two trophies - the FA Cup and the English League Cup. In the finals, they defeated Southampton (2-1) and Chelsea (1-0), respectively. In the new season, of course, the nominee guests will primarily compete for more prestigious titles.
Elliot Anderson can be called the most high-profile summer transfer to the City so far. He transferred from Nottingham Forest for 135 million euros. While there is still uncertainty about the transfer of Rodri, Barcelona is actively interested in the Spanish midfielder.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodri will miss the match due to a back injury.
Interesting betting trends
- In the last five matches City have played a bet both will score
- In the last six matches, City have scored only in one of the halves.
- For 17 matches, the nominal guests have not left the field without scoring a goal.
Approximate composition: Donnaruma - Guardiola, Dias, Husanov, Nunes - Reynders, Kovacic - Semenyo, Foden, Savinho - Holland

Tip and bets
Both teams seem to have achieved some achievements last season, but there is still a feeling that the result could have been better. Arsenal took the long-awaited title of the English Premier League, but lost in the finals of the Champions League and the League Cup. Manchester City won both English cups, but won only silver in the championship. The match for the Super Cup will be crucial in many ways - the Londoners can avenge their defeat in the League Cup final, and the City for losing the championship.
The opponents will be as motivated as possible for this match, so it's worth waiting for attacking football. It is difficult to single out the favorite of the opposition, but in friendly matches both clubs scored a lot, while no one ever managed to keep their gates locked. For sure, the clubs will act in their usual style in the face-to-face meeting, and we will see an exchange of goals.
Our betting tip is that both will score in 1.70
Betting on the outcome
Arsenal continues to progress under Mikel Arteta and finally managed to achieve victory in the Premier League. The line-up has remained almost unchanged, so expectations for the new season are very high. At the same time, Manchester City has changed its coach, so it's hard to say what to expect from the townspeople. For sure, the players will need time to get used to the new mentor, besides, Rhodri, a key player in the middle line, will miss the meeting, so we will give preference to the Londoners in the battle for the Super Cup.
The second bet is an Asian handicap (0) on Arsenal for 1.85
A bet on a player's goal
Matches against Arsenal almost always become productive for Holland. The star Norwegian striker has scored in four of the last five face-to-face matches, and he managed to score even when City lost to today's opponent with a score of 1.:5. Maresca has already confirmed that Erling is ready for the match, so it's worth waiting for the Norwegian to score a goal.
Our betting tip is that Erling Holland will score in 2.10
