Arsenal - Hull City

Arsenal takes Hull City in a meeting of the third round of the FA Cup in England. This meeting is a repeat of last year`s final, which makes it quite interesting. The team of Arsenal is favourite with odds of 1.36 for their victory with 9.50 for Hull City (Bet365).

Arsenal has to be very careful in this game, because recently in a meeting of the championship they made a drawn with Hill City at "Emirates" (2-2). Moreover, they still remember the cruel game of "tigers" in last year`s final of the FA Cup. Hull City made a draw 2-2 in the extra time and Arsenal managed to get their hands on the victory after a goal by Ramsey.

Arsenal are not prepared mentally after a heavy defeat by their direct rival in the battle for the Top 3 - Southampton (2:0). After this defeat, the boys of Arsene Wenger interrupted the positive series of four wins and one draw. Should not be forgotten that Arsenal still miss the most of the main players and the reserve stock is not very good. Against Hull City, Wenger can`t rely on midfielders Wilshere, Arteta, Ramsey, Diaby and Ozil and the attackers Danny Welbeck, Podolski and Sanogo.

Hull City started the New Year with an important victory at home over Everton. With this victory, "tigers" have secured a small dose of relaxation and now remains on the 15th position with two points more than the first team in the danger zone. In the FA Cup, they will fight hard, but just like Arsenal, the team of Hull City has a number of problems. Coach Bruce will need to select very carefully the composition for this game, because he can`t rely on his main defenders Dawson and Robertson, also on the supporting midfielders Ramirez, Diame, and Snodgrass.

Arsenal are favorites, but with this problems in defence for both teams, we can hope for at least 3 goals in the match.

Soccer prediction from livescore Arsenal - Hull City: we think that the total numbers of goals scored will be bigger than 2.5.
Security: 7/10
Odds: 1.60 at bet365
