What are the best pre-season Arsenal betting tips for 2026/27?
Backing Arsenal in one of the table position markets is a move which is perhaps best avoided, as the odds on offer simply are not good enough.
The Gunners finishing as part of the top two (1.53) is probably the safest pick of the lot and the one we would recommend, as this is something the team has done in each of the last four seasons.
In terms of the Golden Boot, it is probably wise to steer away from Arsenal-themed picks here too.
Erling Haaland is the overwhelming favourite for a reason, and the fact of the matter is that the centre forward position in the Gunners XI is still up for grabs.
Gyokeres ended 2025-26 with 14 Premier League goals to his name, but was then ousted from the team by Havertz in the latter stages of the season.
A team without a nailed-on-starting centre forward and one renowned for sharing the goals around? Yeah, look elsewhere.
