Arsenal and Middlesbrough will face each other in the Premier League this weekend.
Former Liverpool and Manchester United striker Michael Owen has predicted on Betvictor.com that Arsenal will win against Middlesbrough this weekend.
Arsenal will take on Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon.
Owen believes that the Gunners will pick up all three points from the encounter in North London.
“Happy birthday to Arsene Wenger who turns 67 on Saturday and, whilst he might not see as many goals as candles, I would be surprised if he didn’t have three points to celebrate,” Owen wrote on Betvictor.com.
“Boro’s only PL win so far this season came against bottom-of-the-table Sunderland and they have only kept one clean sheet in their last 19 PL games on the road. I think they are in for another difficult afternoon.”
A footnote added: “Michael’s recommendation: Arsenal to win to nil at Evens.”
Arsenal are going strong in the Premier League at the moment and are in the running for the league title.
The Gunners are currently second in the standings with 19 points from eight matches, level on points with leaders Manchester City.
