Barcelona vs Arsenal Preview

Barcelona have spent heavily this summer. Frenkie de Jong and Antoine Griezmann have joined for large fees and have already made their first appearances. The Catalan side have played just two preseason games thus far, losing 2-1 to Chelsea and beating Vissel Kobe in the Rakuten cup. Barcelona’s league campaign doesn’t kick off until the 16^th of August, whereas this is Arsenal’s final outing of pre-season.

The Gunners have already played five games in the lead up to the Premier League season. Arsenal started their International Champions Cup campaign with a 2-1 victory over Bayern Munich. They followed that up with a 3-0 win Fiorentina. Lacazette and Aubameyang put the North Londoners two goals up against Real Madrid, before being pegged back and eventually losing on penalties. Their Emirates Cup match against Lyon followed a similar pattern with Aubameyang’s opener coming before two 2^nd half Lyon goals.

 

Barcelona vs Arsenal Betting Tips

Barcelona are the stronger team on paper, but Arsenal have the advantage of three extra games. By this stage of their preseason, Arsenal players will be fully up to speed and ready for the league campaign. Barcelona still have two more matches to come after this encounter and could be off the pace. Having gone two down to Chelsea, we’re backing Arsenal to bag a similar result.

Arsenal have scored and conceded in all but one of their last four. With Barcelona also scoring and conceding against Chelsea, we think both teams to score is a good bet at insert odds.

It’s a reasonable assumption to expect goals in preseason friendlies and this should be much the same. Erring on the side of caution, backing over 2.5 goals should provide decent value.
