Arsenal and QPR are set to play out a London derby on Saturday at the Emirates Stadium, with the hosts looking to make the top four before the turn of the year. Football betting odds on QPR staying in the top flight are looking less favourable after a poor run of form, and the visitors will be tested once more in this fixture.
Arsenal’s revival after a poor start has gathered speed, but a number of poor results have frustrated Gunners fans recently. A 1-1 draw against Wolves at home last time out was made all the more annoying by the fact that Arsene Wenger’s men would have moved up to fourth with a win; the North London outfit sit in fifth place currently. Gervinho scored the side’s goal in the previous fixture but will be leaving for African Cup of Nations duty soon, whilst Robin van Persie continues to prove his worth as one of the best strikers in the continent. Wenger will be keen to end 2011 with three points to ensure other top four contenders do not get too far adrift of them. Titan Bet has the hosts as favourites, offering up odds of 1.25 for a home win.
QPR are looking more and more likely to be sucked into a relegation battle this season, as the Loftus Road side have not won in their last six Premier League fixtures. Neil Warnock was promised to bring new players to the club in the January transfer window, and this may be necessary for the newly promoted men to stay in the top flight. A 1-1 draw against Swansea last time out can be looked at as a positive result however, especially as Rangers came from behind, but a big performance is needed if Warnock’s men are to get anything at the Emirates. Titan Bet have QPR at odds of 11.47 to end 2011 with an unlikely victory.
If QPR can weather an early storm they have a chance in the game, but Arsenal should be too strong at home for the visitors. My Premier League football betting tip is a 2-0 win for Arsenal, which Titan Bet offers up at odds of 6.00.
