A lot of places may close down for the holiday season, but the English Premier League is most certainly open for business. There are plenty of EPL odds games to choose from on Saturday, December 26, and they include Southampton hosting high-flying Arsenal at the St. Mary’s Stadium. Kick-off is set for 2:45 PM EST on NBCSN.
Southampton Vs Arsenal Soccer Odds and Betting Preview
This has traditionally been the time of year when the Arsenal title challenge begins to falter, but it has to be said that this team looks better equipped to stay in the race. This looks like being a tricky one for the Gunners, though, which might make Southampton a good bet on the road. Arsenal have been installed as SU favorites at +110, while Southampton are in at +250.Why bet on Southampton
Southampton (5W 6D 6L) are sitting in the middle of the table right now, but are on a bit of a slide after only picking up a single point in their last 5 games. A big part of their problem has been their inability to score goals, as they have only found the back of the net in their past 5 games. They have scored 13 goals at home this season, and have given up the same amount. Their 4 losses at home this season put them down near the bottom of the rankings for that stat. That lack of goals makes the -115 odds for UNDER 2 ½ goals look pretty good.
