Cardiff City v Arsenal – Match Preview and Betting Tips

Betting Tips | Article posted on March 27th, 2025

Introduction

Arsenal will attempt to keep their run at the top of the Premier League going here, as the league leaders travel to face a Cardiff City team who have performed well against the big boys on their home patch this term. Arsenal will be weary of a team who took a point off Manchester United in their previous fixture, and the Gunners will have to be at their best to come away from Wales with three points.

Winner

Arsenal have shown their class in midfield continually this season, playing a very patient passing game which has involved a cavalcade of classy midfielders being put on the pitch together by Arsene Wenger. However, I wonder if he might wish to stick Theo Walcott in the starting line-up here, in an attempt to stretch out the Cardiff backline with his pace. Regardless of whether he does or not, I think Walcott will play a part at some point, and that this game will get stretched, but I fancy Cardiff to nick a point.

My tip: Draw
Best odds: 3/1 with Bet365

Correct Score

Arsenal are not perhaps the highest scoring team at the moment, despite their outstanding midfield, and they tend to play a ball retention game away from home. Thus, I can see this being a fairly low-scoring encounter, with the two sides sharing a couple of goals.

First Goalscorer

I have a funny feeling for Theo Walcott in this market. I feel that the flying winger-cum-forward will play a part in this one, and that he might unlock the deadlock. He’s certainly due a goal having been out for some time.

My tip: Theo Walcott
Best odds: 6/1 with Coral
