English Premier League (EPL)
As the title race intensifies, 1 Arsenal will face the challenge of Bromwich Albion at home. Within 72 hours, Arsenal will have their second consecutive hard game, and next midweek, the Europa League will be on fire again, the intensive schedule is undoubtedly a huge test for the team. The traditional high-pressure, fast-attacking tactics may no longer be suitable, and the defensive lapses shown in recent matches make a half-time draw the only way out of the tiredness of the team. (Now 621 is live on Saturday night at 11pm, so keep your eyes peeled for the action!)
Arsenal's winning eleven has been plagued by injuries and fitness issues lately, with players on the bench and new additions having to be called into action. Nonetheless, tactical execution and attacking fluidity have suffered, and the team has struggled to perform as a rat pulling a tortoise in the face of a deadly opponent. In the last 7 league matches, 5 of them were drawn in the first half before gradually finding their form in the second half.
Meanwhile, Ponemouth suffered a 1-4 defeat at the hands of Manchester City in their last match, and have dropped to the bottom 2 of the league table. In this away match, the team will surely adopt the strategy of defense and try to get a point. In their last 4 league matches, 3 of them were drawn at half-time. Facing Arsenal's tired troops, the team is expected to resist effectively in the first half, and the possibility of a draw at half-time is quite high.
