Swansea City v Arsenal – Match Preview and Betting Tip

Betting Tips | Article posted on September 24th, 2025

Arsenal are the unlikely early leaders of the Premier League table, with the Gunners having rapidly recovered from an opening day reverse to Aston Villa. Since then, Arsenal have won seven consecutive matches in all competitions, and go into this away day in Wales hoping to keep this excellent run of form going.

This match will see two of the best passing teams in England – arguable the two best – match up against one another, and it will be the control of the midfield area of the pitch that will be particularly important. Arsenal will hope the likes of Ozil, Wilshere, Ramsey and Cazorla can assert a large influence over proceedings, while another interesting sub-plot will be the performance of Michu; rumoured to be a transfer target for the Gunners in the summer, and possibly still one now.

Winner

The betting for this particular fixture is about as close as it gets. This reflects the fact that Swansea are no pushover at the Liberty Stadium, and have begun the season pretty well under Michael Laudrup, despite a difficult run of fixtures. Thus, there is no clear favourite among the three options for this match, although form would suggest that the Gunners must be reckoned to be in with a reasonable chance of winning, given that the club is into double figures in terms of consecutive away wins.

However, Swansea have caused Arsenal problems in the past, and I can see them picking up a point here. They’re one team that have the capability to keep the ball away from Arsenal, and I’m thus going to tip them to pick up a draw here. Numerous bookmakers are offering 12/5 on this outcome.

Correct Score

Both sides are capable of scoring goals, but I can see this game being a possession-oriented one in which both teams sit pretty deep. Nonetheless, it is hard to see this one being goalless, so my tip for this market is Swansea City 1 – 1 Arsenal. Best odds available are 13/2 with BetVictor.

Under / Over 2.5 Goals

The under 2.5 goals bet can be backed at best odds of 21/20 with BetVictor.

Winning Margin

Best odds of 17/5 on a score draw can be had with BetVictor.

First Goalscorer

Either side are capable of scoring first in this one, which makes tipping a first goalscorer more problematical, but I’m going to put my money on Swansea getting out of the blocks quickly and opening the scoring. Michu is an obvious selection, but Wilfred Bony at 15/2 with Stan James is my tip.
