Football Accumulator Tips: 550/1 5-fold for Thursday's Premier League Action

The North London derby is traditionally one of the most existing rivalries in English football and Spurs and Arsenal face off once again on Thursday evening in the capital. As part of our accumulator tips here at BettingOdds.com we’ve put together a 5-fold that weighs in at 550/1. 

Heading into Thursday’s match, Arsenal are currently four points ahead of their rivals in the race to secure a place in next season’s Champions League. The Gunners are currently 2/7 to finish in the top-four, while Antonio Conte’s side can be backed at 5/2 to finish in the major European spots for the first time since 2019.

Spurs against Arsenal is a fixture that has produced plenty of goals in the last couple of years with an average of 3.2 per game over the last five meetings. We’ve started off this gargantuan 550/1 acca with two players to find the net on Thursday, with the first of those being Arsenal’s Eddie Nketiah. 

The Arsenal forward has been in good form over the last few weeks, starting the last five matches. In that period he has four goals for the Gunners, including a brace against Leeds on Sunday. Nketiah has been letting off shots at every available opportunity with 11 shots across his last two appearances. The 22-year-old has amassed 3.9xG in his last five appearances and looks a good prospect to get on the scoresheet against Spurs.

Another forward who has been in terrific form lately is Son Heung-min who has scored seven goals in his last seven appearances for Spurs. Off the back of those goals, the South Korean now has 20 to his name in the league and has been backed into 7/2 to be the Premier League’s top-scorer this season, just two behind Mo Salah. Incredibly, Son’s last seven shots on target have resulted in six goals. His 71% shot accuracy is the highest of any of the top 25 scorers in the league and we’d much rather back him to score than in the shots markets. 

Moving onto the cards and we’re hopeful of plenty in this fixture, especially considering Paul Tierney will be the referee in charge. Last season, no top-flight official dished out more cards per game than Tierney, with 3.90 on average. This season, that figure rises to 3.96 yellows per game which can hopefully bode well for card backers on Thursday.

Harry Kane is the first of three players who we are touting to find his way into the book. The Tottenham talisman has received four yellows against Arsenal in his career and looks a reasonable price to pick up his fifth against the Gunners, being offered at 5/1 as a single with Paddy Power. Kane has five yellows in the league this season and also averages over a foul a game for Conte’s side. 

There are some incredibly short prices on show from bookmakers in the ‘to be carded’ market for this fixture, none more so than Granit Xhaka at skinny looking 8/13 with bet365. One player who makes appeal at the prices is Arsenal’s Martin Odegaard. The Norweigan has only picked up three yellow cards in the Premier League this campaign, but one of those did come against Spurs in the reverse fixture. The 23-year-old has also been booked twice when playing for his national side this season, most recently against Slovenia in a friendly. At 11/2 with BetVictor he looks a more attractive proposition than many of his counterparts. 

Rounding off this longshot is Tottenham’s Rodrigo Bentancur to be carded. Since making the switch to London the Uruguayan has been started 13 games in the top-flight and has been shown a yellow card in five of those. He has also been booked in the FA Cup for Spurs, and has also been cautioned in two of his last three for his national side. 

Best of luck to anyone following. It may be worth checking team news an hour before kick-off to check all these players are starting the game.
