It is time for the Europa League playoffs and Portuguese Benfica to travel to Rome to meet Arsenal from London. It sounds messy but in the return, they still play in Greece so we can really understand how deranged we humans are.
Arsenal travels to Rome in fine form where they beat Leeds 4-2 on Sunday and have been able to prepare for this match, certainly had two straight losses to Aston Villa and Wolves before Leeds but the last match gave a really good answer for Arteta.
Important to get Aubameyang started, who scored a hat trick and Arsenal really has an ace up his sleeve if he switches up for the Europa League playoffs. This is a tournament I think Arsenal should bet on and you have a good chance to go all the way to a final. For tonight’s game, you miss Thomas Partey and this has been done many times during this season when Ghananen has been injured a lot. Arsenal had a pleasant trip to the group stage where they met a bunch of blueberry teams and went through with 6 straight wins, but now it will be different in the form of Benfica.
Europa League Betting Tips – Benfica vs Arsenal
Benfica is, as always, familiar in the Europa League playoffs and the fantastic refinement of players sold on from Benfica is absolutely unparalleled and succeeds in season after season to develop new players. The Scouting activity has many teams to learn from.
This season has actually not been as good in the league as before. Actually only in fourth place and a full 13 points up to Sporting that tops the league and I think you’re putting a lot of power on the Europa League this season.
Yesterday we saw Porto messed up for Juventus, and many times we underestimate the quality of the Portuguese law. In Benfica we find players like Seferovic, Ewerton, Julian Weigl, Taarabt, Verthongen, Otamendi and you hear for yourselves that there is a lot of class in that squad.
I think we’ll see an entertaining match with a high tempo and as always a Benfica pressing from the start. None of the teams have the home advantage of this game either.
If we look at the betting market Arsenal are favorites in this game and it’s reasonable because you’re a Premier League that has gone a little slow but there is a height in the team. I won’t take any favourites because I think Benfica can mess up Arsenal if you ask me. I choose to get into the target market when two goal-oriented teams meet.
