Arsenal Form

The latest match of Arsenal was against AFC Bournemouth on Saturday, with the outcome being a 3:2 win at home. The London-based outfit is currently on a streak of four consecutive victories. Performing at home was of little help throughout the last ten Arsenal meetings as the hosts won 5 times and the guests won 4 times. No more than one of the previous 10 meetings of the squad concluded in draws. All except one of the Gunners’ five previous matches finished with more than 2.5 goals and three saw both sides finding the net. Arsenal managed to prevent their opponents from scoring on two occasions and the team found the net at least once in each of those encounters. The goalkeepers had a busy time throughout the team’s recent five outings, as they had to pull the ball out of the nets twenty times combined.
