Betting suggestion:

Arsenal needs a victory, so in this round it is essential that they impose themselves, thus looking for offensive moves.

We will bet that there will be more than 2.5 goals in the duel.

Preview
Arsenal and Benfica face at Emirates Stadium, in a 2nd leg match for the UEFA Europa League (16th Finals), after a (1‑1) draw in the 1st leg match. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 2 matches they won 1 and tied 1. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Arsenal

The home team comes to this 2nd leg match with the advantage of the away draw by (1‑1), so all they need is a tie for under 1 goal to stay ahead in the aggregate result. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 17 conceded. In their last match, for the Premier League, they got a home loss against Manchester City by (0‑1). In the last 10 home matches Arsenal has won 4, tied 3 and lost 3.

They haven’t lost any of the last 7 matches for this competition. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in all of the last 7 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 6 of their 15 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

The fact that they didn't lose in the first leg match was very good for Arsenal, but it doesn't mean that they will pass to the next stage. The 1-1 obtained guarantees their presence in the next stage if they draw at 0-0, in addition to winning, of course. Even so, the team knows that the difficulty will be great, as they will face a traditional and qualified opponent. Therefore, the Gunners will have to play with a lot of quality if they want to continue in the competition.

Confirmed Lineup: Bernd Leno, David Luiz, Gabriel Magalhães, Héctor Bellerín, Kieran Tierney, Martin Ødegaard , Granit Xhaka , Emile Smith Rowe, Dani Ceballos, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Bukayo Saka .
Coach: M. Arteta.

Analysis Benfica

The away team comes to this 2nd leg match in disadvantage, since despite the 1st leg draw they have conceded 1 goal at home. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses in away matches, with 20 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 33 goals scored and 11 conceded. In their last match, for the Primeira Liga, they got an away tie against Farense by (0‑0). In the last 10 away matches Benfica has won 3, tied 4 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored at least one goal in each of the last 7 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 22 of the last 25 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Benfica knows that the ideal was to have won the previous matche, but the 1-1 draw does not leave them so out of the fight for qualification. A win or draw by 2-2 or more puts them in the next stage, which are results that can happen. The fact of playing away from home really makes their mission a little difficult, but with determination and attitude they may surprise the opponent. Therefore, it will be necessary to show quality in all sectors of the field, because if you are careless, things will get complicated.

Confirmed Lineup: Helton Leite, Alejandro Grimaldo, Lucas Veríssimo, Nicolás Otamendi , Jan Vertonghen, Pizzi, Adel Taarabt, Julian Weigl, Diogo Gonçalves, Haris Seferović, Rafa Silva.
Coach: R. Schmidt.
