Betting Tip
Arsenal is having its best start in the team’s recent history and if they manage to win this one, the Gunners will be in a great situation after three rounds. There are a lot of new names in Mikel Arteta’s roster but the youngsters are playing really well and they are capable of winning on the road as they showed in the season opener against Crystal Palace. Bournemouth has a respectable roster and they will certainly not lack motivation. However, they are still one huge step behind the top teams in the Premier League which was obvious in their last week’s game against Manchester City. Arsenal will dominate the possession in this game and will find a way to win and add another three points.
