Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

Will Arsenal’s Hot Streak in Asia Leave Spurs in the Shade?

• Tottenham struggling for sharpness: They’ve failed to win either of their last two friendlies, drawing with Luton and Wycombe despite fielding strong line-ups.
• Arsenal flying through pre-season: The Gunners are unbeaten in three summer outings, notching eight goals in those games and showcasing strong attacking depth.
• Injuries hampering Spurs’ build-up: Six first-team players, including Kulusevski and Solomon, are unavailable for the tour—leaving Thomas Frank with a weakened hand abroad.

Best Bet for Arsenal vs Tottenham Hotspur

Arsenal and Tottenham don’t need much to get going when they meet. It could be a Champions League final or a kickabout in someone’s back garden—sparks would still fly. And though this one’s being labelled a ‘friendly’, no one in red or white will treat it as such when they lock horns in the searing Hong Kong heat this Thursday. The stage is set for something a little more than just another pre-season warm-up, as the North London rivals gear up for a clash that promises both fireworks and friction.

The Gunners come into this one in good nick, unbeaten in three pre-season matches and fresh from a 3-2 win over Newcastle. Momentum is clearly building. Viktor Gyokeres’ arrival has stirred the fanbase, while young Max Dowman’s cameo performances have brought smiles and slightly confused expressions from rival fans who can’t quite believe a 15-year-old is stealing headlines. Meanwhile, Spurs have had a more mixed summer. Thomas Frank’s men did enough to get past Reading but failed to win either of their split-squad games against Wycombe or Luton. Let’s just say that 0-0 draw at Kenilworth Road didn’t exactly set pulses racing.

And now, with their first clash on foreign soil, it’s not just pride at stake—it’s rhythm, fitness, and bragging rights.

Best Bet for Arsenal v Tottenham: Arsenal to Win & Over 1.5 Goals

Here at BettingTips4You.com, we don’t overload you with options. We believe in one prediction per match—the very best one. Quality over quantity, always. So if you’re looking for the strongest angle for this North London showdown, the best bet for this match is Arsenal to win and over 1.5 goals.

Let’s start with the obvious. Arsenal have won three on the spin this pre-season, and the 3-2 victory over Newcastle showed they’ve got teeth going forward—even when rotating. With Martinelli, Saka, Havertz and potentially even Gyokeres all vying for minutes, there’s no shortage of attacking quality. Add in that Tottenham’s defence has looked anything but settled in friendlies, and you’ve got all the ingredients for Arsenal to put at least a couple past them.

Tottenham, for all their attacking flair, have flattered to deceive this summer. A 2-2 draw with Wycombe was passable, but the flat 0-0 against Luton raised eyebrows—and not the good kind. Missing key names like Kulusevski, Dragusin, and Solomon, Frank is working with a thinner squad than he’d like. Even Son Heung-min, who might be playing with one foot already packed for MLS, doesn’t quite look his usual self.

Also, let’s not forget that Arsenal are buzzing right now. The squad is full of energy, and even the likes of Zubimendi and Nwaneri are getting valuable minutes. It’s a lively camp, whereas Spurs seem to be waiting for something to click—and it hasn’t. A high-scoring friendly could suit the Gunners down to the ground, especially if the new faces get minutes to impress.

As BettingTips4You.com expert Tyler Morris puts it:

“The Gunners look sharp, they’ve got goals coming from everywhere, and Spurs look a few steps behind. If this turns into a proper contest, Arsenal will run away with it.”

This one could have moments of chaos—pre-season games usually do—but the Gunners look better equipped to thrive in that unpredictability.

Correct score prediction: Arsenal 3-1 Tottenham

Tottenham might grab a goal, possibly through Kudus or Son if they find a bit of space. But Arsenal’s momentum, depth and form point toward a fairly convincing win. Three for them, one for Spurs, and a reminder that even in Asia, North London derbies carry that extra edge.
