UEFA Europa League: Arsenal @ Benfica

What will be the match result?

Arsenal: Win

@ Benfica: Win or Draw

 

Current odds:

Arsenal: Win: (+125)

Benfica: Win or Draw: (-175)

 

• Due to local travel restrictions imposed by Portugal, this game will staged in Rome, Italy with the return leg in Athens, Greece. It’s far from ideal for both sides, as Benfica have won 12 of their 16 home matches this season, while Arsenal now have a nightmare trip ahead of them to fit in to an already hectic schedule.

• Benfica, who have dropped down from the Champions League, have only won three of their last nine matches in all competitions. Arsenal ended a three-game winless streak and two-game losing run with a 4-2 win over Leeds at the weekend. They have lost three of their last four away from home.

• Arsenal will be considered favourites over the two legs but Mikel Arteta would rather do without the new travel arrangements.
