81/1 Ultimate Bet Builder for Arsenal vs Coventry
Before becoming a Sports Journalist for Free Super Tips, Aaron spent three years studying Sports Journalism at the University of Sunderland while taking in the Black Cats' 'glory years' under Martin O'Neill. Now back in Northern Ireland he turns niche stats into predictions for FST, while he's one of the few people on this island who is equally comfortable at Windsor Park and the Aviva.
The Premier League returns on Friday, and once again the champions get things underway. We expect Arsenal to claim a routine win over Coventry in our free match predictions, and I’ve put together an 81/1 Ultimate Bet Builder which lines up with a high-scoring home win.
Arsenal vs Coventry Ultimate Bet Builder
Kai Havertz to score anytime
Havertz was one of the few Germany players who came out of this summer’s World Cup with any credit, as the forward scored three goals in four games as they made an early exit. That followed on from his strike in the Champions League final, with the former Chelsea man playing a key role down the stretch for the Gunners after returning from injury.
Havertz scored in the 3-0 victory over Manchester City in the Community Shield, and he’s expected to get the nod over former Coventry striker Viktor Gyokeres in their league opener. He can punish the newly-promoted Sky Blues and find the net once again.
Christos Tzolis to make an assist
Tzolis played a key role in Arsenal’s 3-0 victory over City, assisting the final two goals. He set up 23 goals for Club Brugge last season as they lifted the title, and he could be a key creative force for the Gunners this season.
Tzolis recorded preseason assists against Real Betis and Borussia Dortmund, and he finished last term by scoring and assisting in his final three games for Brugge, before setting up a goal in Greece’s draw with Sweden.
Loum Tchaouna 1+ shot on target from outside the box
Tchaouna is bidding to avoid back-to-back relegations, having signed for Coventry from Burnley this summer. The winger ranked third for shots on target for the Clarets in last season’s Premier League, while he scored in Coventry’s 2-0 win over Monaco in their final warm-up match.
Given that 60% of the shots that Tchaouna attempted last season came from outside the box, back the winger for a shot on target from distance against a tough Arsenal backline.
Milan van Ewijk to be shown a card
Coventry’s van Ewijk picked up a team-high eight bookings across last season’s Championship campaign. Five of those eight bookings came on the road, while the full-back also ranked third in terms of fouls committed for the Sky Blues.
Friday’s game is arguably the toughest test Coventry will face this season, and facing it this early may be a struggle for those who were playing Championship football a few months prior. Given how Arsenal prioritised attacking down their left-flank on Sunday, back Coventry’s right-back for another caution.
