Atalanta vs Arsenal Player To Watch - Gabriel

Partnered with William Saliba Gabriel goes under the radar for Arsenal a lot of the time however he is often very impactful for Mikel Arteta’s side.

Gabriel has been a part of an Arsenal defence that this season has conceded just 1 goal so far this campaign. Not only this though but he also pops up with crucial goals including in their last game against Tottenham Hotspur.

That goal made him the highest scoring defender in the Premier League since 2020/21.

Expect him to play a crucial part in this fixture as well.

Atalanta vs Arsenal Prediction

This game is going to be a surprisingly close match. Neither team has any real massive advantage over the other in this game so expect this game to be reflective of that.

Both sides of course will want to win but we aren’t sure anyone will take home all of the points here.

That is why our team of tipping experts have selected a Draw as our best value tip in this fixture. And at odds of 11/4, £10 has the potential to return up to £37.50.
