It's funny to see how Arsenal is coming from one of the top football clubs in England to 1.96 coefficient against one of the outsiders (to me, Newcastle is one of the) in the first match of the new season.
Anyway, to me BTTS seems to be the most optimal "value for money" option, as taking the victory of gunners seems to be a bit risky with the squad playing today, and handicap+ on Newcastle is priced only at 1.31, if we speak about 1 and a half goals.
As I am not sure about the total amount of goals scored today, let's go for BTTS. Arsenal doesn't have the superb defense to keep it clean, while the attacking power of the club should result in at least 1 goal.
