Port Vale Vs Arsenal Betting Tips
- Max Dowman to score any time @ 5/4
- Over 2 Goals @ 4/11
- Over 3 Cards @ 9/4
Max Dowman to score any time @ 5/4
First up, we are backing Max Dowman to score for Arsenal.
Last season, the then 14-year-old smashed a UEFA record, becoming the youngest Youth League goalscorer ever.
The teenager has since burst onto the scene for the Gunners’ first team, and has a good chance of starting on Wednesday.
Still only 15, he has the world at his feet, and an excellent opportunity for his first senior Arsenal goal this week.
Over 2 Goals @ 4/11
Secondly, we can see Arsenal grabbing a few goals in this one.
The gulf between the Premier League and everything below is growing year on year.
And with Arsenal challenging for titles and Vale in a relegation scrap two leagues below, we foresee a comfortable scoreline and at least three goals.
Over 3 Cards @ 9/4
Finally, we predict more than three cards the be shown throughout.
Arsenal are likely to rotate and give some fringe players a run-out.
These lads will be keen to prove themselves, and may be over-eager when diving into challenges that could see them pick up a booking.
As for Vale, they will know they are outmatched in terms of skill, so their best chance will likely be to try and impose themselves physically on Arsenal, which may also lead to more cards.
