Odds for Oxford vs Arsenal, FA Cup, 3am on 10/1
With a rather soft opponent just Oxford, coach Mikel Arteta can use the 2nd formation to play in this match. This is necessary because in the near future, Arsenal's schedule is extremely tense in the English Premier League. In the next 5 rounds, they met 3 strong opponents, Man City, Man United and Tottenham, not to mention quite annoying opponent, Brentford.
And of course in this match, it will be difficult to have positive expectations for the Gunners. The house edge rate evaluates the odds to a very high 2 1/4 and to win the bet is not easy. There were signs of instability when the Emirates team lost the last match and also lost the match in the last Cup series (against Brighton in the League Cup).
Technically, Oxford is in a rather weak position when it is only a team in the English Division 2. But do not forget before that they won 2 consecutive rounds in the FA Cup, with extremely reasonable play. Those are also the two Asian wins of this team.
So with the current competition pressure, it will be difficult to have an easy match for Arsenal. They have to be a guest in front of an unpredictable unknown like Oxford and even victory is unlikely, not to mention that the away team can win the bet by more than 2 goals.
