Arsenal vs. Manchester United Betting Odds and Info

Why Bet on Arsenal?

Arsenal are enjoying a dream season. The ‘Gunners’ are competing in the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup, and EFL Cup, and they are performing very well in all of them.

In the league, they are at the top with 50 points after 15 wins, five draws, and just two losses. With 40 goals scored, they have the second-best attack, while conceding only 14, the best defensive record. Despite the number of goals, their top scorers are Leandro Trossard and Viktor Gyökeres, each with five goals, highlighting the team’s scoring balance.

Recently, in the Premier League, they have not been getting the results, with back-to-back scoreless draws against Liverpool and Nottingham Forest. However, they are unbeaten in seven league matches and 12 across all competitions, winning 10 of them, although one came via penalties.

They are coming off a major statement win after defeating Inter 1–3 in Italy and maintaining a perfect record in the Champions League with seven wins from seven matches.

Defenders Riccardo Calafiori and Piero Hincapié are doubtful due to injury.

Why Bet on Manchester United?

Manchester United is beginning a new chapter under the leadership of Michael Carrick. The English manager arrived to replace Rúben Amorim and had the best possible start.

His first match was the derby against Manchester City, which they won 2–0 with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Patrick Dorgu. They are now five matches unbeaten in the league, winning the first and the most recent, while drawing the three in between.

Despite not maintaining consistent form throughout the season, they sit fifth with 35 points after nine wins, eight draws, and five losses, scoring 38 goals and conceding 32. They are currently in a Europa League spot and just one point behind fourth-placed Liverpool.

Away from home, things have not gone well, with just three wins, five draws, and three losses, conceding more goals (19) than they have scored (18). They are winless in their last three away matches, with draws against two of the teams battling relegation and losing to Aston Villa.

The only confirmed absence is defender Matthijs de Ligt, while Joshua Zirkzee remains a doubt.

Final Betting Analysis: Arsenal vs. Manchester United

Arsenal are on track to end a title drought of more than 20 years, and they know that at home, they must win as many matches as possible. While Manchester United have shown improvement under Carrick, we do not believe they can sustain it in London, and it will be the ‘Gunners’ who come away with the victory.

The numbers at Gambyl Exchange list Arsenal as the favorites, with a Moneyline of -163, while Manchester United is priced at +540, and the draw is set at +317.

The last time these two sides met was on August 17, 2025, and Arsenal won 0–1 with a goal from Calafiori. The ‘Gunners’ are unbeaten in six matches against this opponent, winning five of them, and at home they have now recorded four straight victories and are unbeaten in seven.

Go for a win for Arsenal. If you bet $100 at -163, you will gain $61 for a total payout of $161.
