AC Milan v Arsenal - Betting Tips

One of the ties of the round, if not the biggest tie of the round as AC Milan welcome Arsenal to the San Siro. These sides met back in the 2007/2008 season, where Arsenal won 2-0 on aggregate as they knocked out the current Champions League winners. In this current situation, the tie will be just as close as that one was. Arsenal may not be in the Champions League next season, so this match is going to be crucial for them. AC Milan haven't reached the quarters since the season went on to to win the whole tournament. Here are my betting tips for his huge match tonight!

Match Betting
AC Milan are the slight favourites on this one, but betting on any out come will give you more than double back, so it's a good match to bet on. AC Milan are 11/10 to win this match, with Arsenal at 14/5. A draw is 21/10, and that would be the one I go for. It won't be a high scoring match, and I think both sides may settle for a draw, especially Arsenal.

Match Betting; Draw (21/10)

Correct Score
There won't be too many goals in this one, as both will want to keep in the game without giving too much away. A 0-0 draw is at 8/1, with 1-1 at 6/1. I recommend either of them, but if you are feeling lucky, 2-2 is at 14/1. If you are going to bet on a winner, then I'd go for AC Milan tonight, with Arsenal getting an away goal, which will boost the winnings.

Correct score; 3-1 (16/1)

Half Time/ Full Time
This is the betting category that I am most successful with. I feel that the odds can be generous on this, and this can go any way in my opinion. Arsenal to be leading at half time, but for them to lose at full time is 22/1, which for me is good value. However, I'd look closely at the ones ending in a draw.

AC Milan at Half time, Drawing at full time - (14/1)

First Goal Scorer
Lots of candidates for this one.  Thierry Henry's last game for Arsenal with this current loan spell, so for him to get of the mark first would be at 7/1. Van Persie is the most likely candidate for Arsenal at 11/2, which is equal with AC Milan's Robinho and Pato. Ibrahimovic is the favourite at 4/1. I usually think defenders have a good chance of breaking the deadlock in tough close games like this. Thiago Silva is at 28/1 and Thomas Vermaelen is at 25/1.

First Goal Scorer; Theo Walcott at 10/1

Goal Crazy
How many goals in this match then? I have said before that it will be a close match. For there to be 0-1 goals scored, it's at 9/4. 2-3 goals is at 10/10 and over 3 goals is at 12/5. I'd go for the first option.

Goal Crazy; 0-1 goals (9/4)
