Oxford Utd v Arsenal

I am betting Oxford Utd + 2.25 and under 3.5 goals to be scored here in this FA cup 3rd round match ttonight, Arsenal will make a number of changes for this match and I expect their team to look very familiar to what we seen on Europa league nights this season which is players that usually feature on the bench and possibly 1 or 2 youth team players too. Arsenal plays their bitter rivals Tottenham Hotspurs on Sunday and they won’t want any injuries heading into that match and then take on Manchester United the week after and those 2 games will be pivotal if they are to maintain their challenge at the top of the league, so fresh legs will be paramount. Oxford are probably a better side than their league position suggests that they are and against a second-string Arsenal side which as mentioned above will resemble their Europa league team they will fancy their chances of putting in a good effort. Arsenal in the Europa league saw their 6 games feature only 11 goals and while Oxford are a downgrade on those teams faced they may not be as big as downgrade as many think they would be. Oxford don’t score a lot but they are defensively solid and their games this season have only featured 2.33 goals per match, I think there is value on betting the home side +2.25 and also on the under 3.5 goals scored.
