Can Arsenal be trusted at a short price to land a victory here? After losing away to Lens, punters will be reluctant to wade in at the betting odds, even if the Gunners have a 100% win record away from home in the Premier League, racking up three wins and scoring six goals to no reply. Mikel Arteta’s side did however lose 2-1 to Lens in the last Group B clash.
Indeed, European fixtures are like no other and Arsenal come into this match just a few days after a tricky Premier League encounter away to Chelsea. The flip side is that the season has mainly contained victories and we should note the way in which the Gunners were able to defeat Manchester City by a single goal.
Bukayo Saka should be back from injury for this game, with Arsenal hoping to land back to back wins against their Spanish opponents in order to take control of this section. The bookies make them statistically likely to record a win but they also anticipate that both teams can find the net in this encounter.
With this in mind, perhaps a Champions League Bet Builder can be placed with a degree of confidence. You could thrown in an Arsenal win and both teams to score, while there’s also the chance to add in a few scorer picks too. Saka is clearly someone adept at finding the net although Martin Odegaard has also been on song in recent encounters.
