------------------------------------
Arsenal
Arsenal, coached by Mikel Arteta, is preparing for the 2025-26 Premier League season after finishing as runners-up in 2024-25. They beat Newcastle United 3-2 in their latest friendly, with a penalty earned by 15-year-old Max Dowman, and previously won 1-0 against AC Milan and 2-1 over Southampton, averaging 2.0 goals scored and 1.0 goal conceded. Key players include Bukayo Saka (scored vs. Milan), Gabriel Martinelli, and new signing Viktor Gyökeres. Arsenal’s strengths are their high-pressing 4-3-3 (58–62% possession) and counter-pressing, but injuries to six first-team players (e.g., Declan Rice, out in September 2024) may lead to rotations. They aim to maintain their 100% pre-season win rate at Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham, led by Thomas Frank, is gearing up for the 2025-26 Premier League season after a 10th-place finish in 2024-25. They drew 0-0 with Luton Town and 2-2 with Wycombe, but beat Reading 2-0, averaging 1.3 goals scored and 0.7 goals conceded. Key players include James Maddison, Heung-min Son, and Mohammed Kudus, with a probable lineup featuring Guglielmo Vicario, Pedro Porro, and Richarlison. Tottenham’s strengths are their pragmatic double-pivot midfield, but their defense has struggled (4 goals conceded vs. Brighton in 2024-25), and they lack attacking bite, per Sofascore.com. They seek to challenge Arsenal in this North London Derby.
Head-to-Head
The sports card above details 37 meetings from 2001-2019, with Tottenham leading 14-12, and 11 draws. Recent matches include Arsenal’s 1-0 win on September 15, 2024 (Gabriel Magalhães header), and a 2-1 Arsenal victory on January 15, 2025 (Leandro Trossard, Dominic Solanke own goal), per en.wikipedia.org. Matches average 2.7 goals, with 40% over 2.5 goals and 40% both teams scoring (BTTS). Arsenal have won three straight league games against Tottenham, their best run since 1989.
Predicted Score: Arsenal 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur
This North London Derby on July 31, 2025, at Kai Tak Sports Park, Hong Kong, at 12:30 PM BST (7:30 PM HKT), is Arsenal’s third pre-season game, per Arsenal.com. Arsenal’s Saka and Gyökeres face Tottenham’s Maddison and Kudus, with Arsenal’s press (12–14 fouls drawn per game) testing Tottenham’s defense, per Tips.gg. Arsenal are favorites (-130 odds) over Tottenham (+260), with a draw at +230, per Sofascore.com. Trends (Arsenal: 60% over 2.5 goals; Tottenham: 40%) and H2H suggest goals. The 28°C evening may see cards if Tottenham disrupt Arsenal’s rhythm. Arsenal is likely to score through Saka or Gyökeres, with Maddison possibly netting for Tottenham. Arsenal’s form and H2H edge should secure a narrow win, though Tottenham’s resilience keeps it close.
