UEFA Champions League 2023/24 Season

[TelolettOm]

----

This match will take place tomorrow and of course Inter Milan in the first leg will get an advantage because they are the hosts and of course this gives Inter Milan the opportunity to win with more goals and be superior on aggregate.

Surely this will be a very tight match. And indeed Inter must be able to take advantage of the opportunity to compete at home as much as possible. At least, they shouldn't feel too much of a burden when competing at home. So, not only a win but at least they have to score more goal differences of more than 2 in the first leg if they can. It is to anticipate the possibility of aggregate occurrence in the second leg. However, UCL is a very prestigious match so any club will fight as hard as possible to win.

Arsenal over the past 3 matches have shown consistency and that’s one quality of a big team. This team is sure to achieve glory if they keep on with this kind of form but one thing I’m sure of is Arsenal to achieve glory in this round. With their current form a zeal for success i don't think porto would be able to match them in that game.
 

Indeed, Arsenal is experiencing an increase in performance and confidence in facing strong teams in any match. So when they face Porto later, they shouldn't feel so hard that it could actually make them not optimal. However, that doesn't mean they can underestimate Porto because we know how Porto's playing pattern and abilities have been so far at UCL. That's not something to be underestimated. Arsenal themselves is the other representatives besides Man City in the UCL, so they will try their best to advance to the next rounds.

In the match of PSG vs Real Sociedad team, Real Sociedad team did not score any goal. PSG team scored 2 goals to win the match. Before halftime, the players of both teams tried hard to score, but neither team could score any goal. After halftime, PSG team scored two goals.K.  Mbappe and B.  Two Barcola players scored in this match.

I was not surprised by the result between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, because the match ended as I predicted. PSG will not be playing with pressure when they visit Real Sociedad, and if they can get a draw at Real Sociedad, they will qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this season.

At least, Real Sociedad this season doesn't seem to have high aggressiveness in scoring goals so ya, playing against PSG will certainly make it difficult for Real Sociedad to score goals . With that result, I don't think it would be a surprise if Real Sociedad lost without being able to reply. But ya, basically Real Sociedad doesn't have a good chance against PSG because after all, PSG position is safe in the Ligue 1 standings . So yes, with that factor certainly makes PSG able to play well in this phase, because PSG only gets opponents who do not have a level above average. But for the next phase, of course it will still not be easy for PSG to go further.

PSG Has it at the back of their minds to win the uefa champions league but I'm still doubting the possibility of that even if they are able to get pass the current stage were they are and are able to get into the next stage, they will still need to win the tougher and more experienced team they will be meeting ahead.

Real socidad may likely be eliminated by the end of their next meeting because PSG is most likely not going to allow the game end in such a way that wouldn't favour them, it's either a draw or PSG may most likely win but then PSG already has got a goal and socidad will need to cancel that goal by scoring at least two goals without a reply from PSG before they can be sure to win the game and qualify ahead of PSG but then PSG stands at the most advantage and they are the favour for this game too.

This match ultimatly not easy for Arsenal, but Arsenal have great chance to won. They a favorite team at this match rather than Porto, of course even Arsenal not guaranteed to win in an away game. Porto will bet their fate against one of the favorite teams this season, but I think Arsenal is not completely reliable even though the team's performance is very good. Maybe it's not an interesting match to look forward to, Napoli vs Barcelona is certainly more interesting in my opinion.

I agree with you. In my opinion, the Porto vs Arsenal match is not as interesting as the Napoli vs Barcelona match. My reason is because Porto will face one of the strongest teams in the Champions League this season. I am not underestimating Porto but in my opinion Porto's level is still below Arsenal's level and the odds entering this match are also very favorable for Arsenal to win the match. Napoli vs Barcelona is much more interesting because the strengths of the two teams are equally balanced. Both have the same chance of winning depending on which team is able to perform better that night.

Arsenal are quite far favorites even though they will be the away team.
It seems that there are quite different strengths between the two teams so that Porto, who is the home team, is predicted to have difficulty facing Arsenal, especially since Arsenal is in very good condition because in domestic league matches Arsenal has not been defeated five match in a row and managed to beat Liverpool as they had the momentum to be taken into account again not only in the EPL but also the champions league, but my prediction is that this will still not be an easy match for Arsenal and they have to be aware of all possibilities because surprises might happen.
The Napoli vs Barcelona match might be more balanced but Napoli are currently in really bad condition and their chances of winning are very slim and my prediction is that Barcelona will win this first match even though they are the away team.

Yes, Napoli and Barca is the match I'm also looking forward to. Barca is gradually regaining form. They are unbeaten in the last 4 games. Barca players will undoubtedly be very confident in their trip to Napoli. Napoli was at a considerable disadvantage in this match. Their number 1 striker, Victor Osimhen, was injured. Barca will likely win by a margin in this match.
And the match Porto vs Arsenal. The victory was in favor of Arsenal. The luggage that Porto brought to this match is not good. It won't be easy for Porto when Arsenal is a much stronger team. Arsenal owns a high-class squad of outstanding quality. It is likely that Arsenal will win to maintain the sublime streak.

But for the next phase, of course it will still not be easy for PSG to go further.

I also think that Real Sociedad has a mountain to climb in their return leg against Paris but chances are there if they don't play under pressure and be calm during the game.Paris will just wait in this game and hope for a sudden death counter attack in order to kill any hope that Real Sociedad may have.The odds are greatly in favor of Paris and greatly against Real Sociedad yet this is just a game and in a football game anything and any result may happen.

[Docnaster]

Barcelona is not in a good condition and Napoli is not very consistent this season, so far both clubs are not in a really good situation, but Napoli seems to be much better even though Barcelona has more experience in the UCL, both have the same strength At the moment and both of them want to win from this first leg meeting, my prediction is that the result will probably be a draw even though they will play at home at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona, Napoli will show their best game.

Xavi will also put pressure on his team to play as hard as possible in order to win this match, but if Napoli are able to make things difficult then I'm sure the result will be a draw, because I think the strengths of the two are quite balanced at the moment and the situation is not really favorable, that's why I prefer interested in betting on this match with the meeting between the two compared to other matches, because these two clubs will play determinedly to win and show their abilities and show their best performances.

Currently, Barcelona performed not really bad managed to achieve three wins from the last four matches in La Liga, I don't think its not good condition from Barcelona last several matches before and they had more confidence than Napoli have very poor performance in domestic league. Barcelona more favorable than Napoli when both team face each other in Champion League knock out round match, I think Barcelona can manage for winning above two goals on the first leg match.

But some time we can't comparison with domestic league and champion league match, regarding with Lazio achievement in the first leg success defeated Bayern Munich are the top teams although in domestic league Lazio got many bad result. I am waiting magician from Napoli will make difference result predicting with their inconsistency performance in Serie A or easily for Barcelona secure the winning result on the first leg match.

The fact that Barcelona manager Xavi Hernandez publicly said that the things have really gone bad at the club and he can't continue as the manager of the club beyond the current season I think say a lot concerning Barcelona current situation at the club. Xavi Hernandez in his press conference earlier this season have already said that even if Barcelona end up winning the UEFA Champions League title at the end of the season, it'll not still stop him from leaving the club. However, because of how passionate Xavi Hernandez loves Barcelona, he'll still put his best to make sure he leaves the club after winning a silverware this season but that I don't think is ever gonna happen because the club do not have the needed quality of players to win any of the competitions they are involved in this season.

Napoli on the other side is one club that has also failed to live up to the expectations of the club fans after they lifted the Italian Serie A title last season. It was because of the club's poor performance this season that made them sack Rudi Garcia just less than 6 months after he became the manager of the club. The UCL round 16 tie between Barcelona and Napoli will be a very difficult one because of the fact that people can't actually bank on any of them to progress ahead of the other club but I still expect Napoli to reach the quarter finals at the expense of Barcelona

[len01]

These two teams are experiencing different performances, Arsenal has been very consistent in the last five matches in the EPL, the consecutive wins achieved by Arsenal are good capital in continuing the UCL. Meanwhile, Porto is inconsistent in maintaining its performance, in the last five matches they were only able to achieve three wins, one draw and one defeat. Arteta is very enthusiastic about this game, he will direct his players to play like when they beat Liverpool. Arsenal's goal productivity is a threat to Porto, even though Arsenal's status is the visiting team in this game, they will be able to control the match with the good capital they have in the last five matches.

in the remaining matches in the domestic league, Arsenal showed a really impressive performance. we can see from the last few performances that Arsenal beat their opponents with big scores, even West Ham were beaten by Arsenal with 6 scores which is really amazing Arteta troops could not have thought that they could appear this strong making several teams above them feel pressured Arsenal performance and this kind of performance makes supporters believe that Arsenal will easily beat Porto, who currently has a much worse performance than Arsenal.
I am not denigrating Porto but I am just saying about the fact that in terms of depth the performance of Porto players is not as strong as Arsenal players.

from the predicted results that I analyzed while all of Arsenal main players will be played in the first half because in this match Porto as the host will definitely provide resistance which will make it difficult for Arsenal to score a bigger aggregate score so Arteta will prefer to get a superior score in the first half and In the second half Arteta will definitely use a defensive strategy and according to the speculation that I am currently thinking Arsenal will score at least 3 scores and Porto 1 score.

[slapper]

This match ultimatly not easy for Arsenal, but Arsenal have great chance to won. They a favorite team at this match rather than Porto, of course even Arsenal not guaranteed to win in an away game. Porto will bet their fate against one of the favorite teams this season, but I think Arsenal is not completely reliable even though the team's performance is very good.

\I understand your Arsenal-Porto point. Impressive form makes Arsenal the favorites. Thus, underestimating Porto, especially at home, may be foolish. Their domestic league performance isn't to be overlooked. My concentration is on the Napoli-Barcelona match. Balanced teams provide for an intriguing and exciting matchup. Despite Napoli's troubles, football's unpredictability is so appealing. The game might go either way depending on who is better prepared and determined. Both teams have strengths and flaws

[Fakhrulenclix]

Yes, Napoli and Barca is the match I'm also looking forward to. Barca is gradually regaining form. They are unbeaten in the last 4 games. Barca players will undoubtedly be very confident in their trip to Napoli. Napoli was at a considerable disadvantage in this match. Their number 1 striker, Victor Osimhen, was injured. Barca will likely win by a margin in this match.
And the match Porto vs Arsenal. The victory was in favor of Arsenal. The luggage that Porto brought to this match is not good. It won't be easy for Porto when Arsenal is a much stronger team. Arsenal owns a high-class squad of outstanding quality. It is likely that Arsenal will win to maintain the sublime streak.

Overall, the strength of these two teams does not have a significant difference, but in the last few matches, Barcelona seems to have slightly improved in quality and this is in contrast to Napoli, which is currently in a very bad state.
However, I believe that in the Champions League match, each team has different motivations, which makes it possible for them to perform differently and because of that, I still speculate that Barcelona and Napoli's chances are still the same to beat each other.

For Arsenal who will play against Porto, I think Arsenal is much more favored here because Arsenal's overall quality and performance this season is very strong, so it's only natural that they are highly favored.

[Google+]

If Porto's opponent is Arsenal in the Champions League match, then we can easily find the difference between the two teams. Porto is definitely a good team but this club will be far behind in terms of performance compared to Arsenal's current performance. But football game is not based on past statistics, in football game at the end of the day the team which performs better on the field will get the result in favor of that team. We might avoid Arsenal for this match considering the statistics but if Arsenal perform worse than our expectations on the field and Porto perform better than our expectations but the opposite can happen in the result.

On paper, Arsenal performance is in its best form, where their chances of winning are very big even though they are playing at Porto headquarters. As is known, Porto has a better reputation than Arsenal in the Champions League because the Portuguese representative has won it, while Arsenal has never won it. Past statistics are not completely a reference, ups and downs in performance and surprises are very open, including for both teams. For now, betting on Arsenal winning will indeed be safer, of course with several other considerations.

In the previous match, Arsenal managed to achieve a big win, and that was good capital when they visited Porto. I think if in the first leg Arsenal will draw, then in the second leg Arsenal can play optimally at home. Arteta now has better and more even squad depth in each line, and it is hoped that Bukayo Saka will be able to continue to maintain his level of play to help Arsenal win every match. Arsenal front line now appears sharper, even though Arteta is still missing Gabriel Jesus who is still injured.

[koang]

Seeing the Odds are almost the same means the bookies know that Barcelona as an away game will be difficult to win, this is an assumption.


At least we still have doubts about who will win, it's just that Napoli will definitely try to keep winning at home rather than losing which makes them heavy in the second leg, maybe it will be a surprise where the Italian team can win even though it is not the favorite team.

The matches are not that hot, not a clash of Titans, nothing is mouthwatering here.
They both didn't play well at all, but I guess we'll take it and hope for improvements and more dynamics soon.

The Barca era is gone. The same thing with Napoli. Different coach, same shit
The reality is Barca can't compete, But if Barca wins and progresses to the next round, Xavi can leave Barcelona through the big door, with his head held high.

I agree with you. In my opinion, the Porto vs Arsenal match is not as interesting as the Napoli vs Barcelona match. My reason is because Porto will face one of the strongest teams in the Champions League this season. I am not underestimating Porto but in my opinion Porto's level is still below Arsenal's level and the odds entering this match are also very favorable for Arsenal to win the match. Napoli vs Barcelona is much more interesting because the strengths of the two teams are equally balanced. Both have the same chance of winning depending on which team is able to perform better that night.

As fans of the Gunners, of course we will be looking forward to this match. even though Arsenal is superior to Porto, the first leg will be held at the Estadio do Dragao, Porto's home ground. what is certain is that as the home team they will not just give up. I'm sure, at least the match between Porto and Arsenal will present an exciting battle. for now, I will not talk about predictions for the match between these two teams. so, we are waiting for the next 3 days when this match is held.

In the other match, which will be held simultaneously between Porto vs Arsenal. the Champions League presents the Napoli vs Barcelona matchup. I'm not sure if this match will present an interesting match. however, this does not rule out the possibility, because none of these two teams is the bookie's favorite. if I refer to temporary odds, both teams almost have the same margin. Napoli with odds @2.60, while Barcelona with @2.55. which means, this match has a probability that the two teams will defeat each other in the round of 16 match later.

Like Arsenal, Barcelona is one of my favorite teams in the La Liga competition. It could be that there will be an exciting battle between these two teams. however, I am a little doubtful about the system and strategy that Xavi Hernandez will implement. however, Barcelona has just as much chance as Napoli of winning this battle. unfortunately, several Barcelona players had to be absent due to injuries. But at least, Barca can rely on the main goalkeeper who has recovered from injury rather than Inaki Pena. also, Lewandowaki is starting to score goals again for his squad. In this match, I will definitely support my two favorite teams. so, let's look forward to the round of 16 matches for the teams we mentioned in this post.

Arsenal front line now appears sharper, even though Arteta is still missing Gabriel Jesus who is still injured.

I think Arsenal is in the best form right now. Beating Liverpool and other 3 big wins show how well-prepared they are for this UCL KO stage game. This not only boosts their confidence but also demonstrates their ability to perform well, even away from home. With Arteta having a deeper and more balanced squad at his disposal, Arsenal's chances of success are further enhanced. The absence of Gabriel Jesus due to injury is a setback for Arsenal, but their frontline still possesses considerable firepower, especially with players like Bukayo Saka maintaining a high level of performance.

In football, past statistics and reputations can only tell a piece of the story. The dynamics of each match can be unpredictable, with surprises and fluctuations in performance being common occurrences. Therefore, while Porto may have a better historical record in the Champions League, Arsenal's current form and strengths suggest that betting on them to win, even at Porto's headquarters, could indeed be a safer option, albeit with careful consideration of other factors.

They are a subscription club in the Champions League but indeed if you look at the naked eye with the composition of the actual players it is quite difficult for Porto to stand further in this case especially with Arsenal's condition in domestic competitions which are still quite good.
Indeed, the match for the first leg in the Champions League round of 16 can actually be a good thing because Porto play home but Arsenal are also currently in a positive trend and their goal productivity is still very good now.

This could be a stumbling block for Porto and I personally for now am still quite confident in what Arsenal will do in this match because they can definitely overcome the resistance that Porto is doing because after all it is difficult for Porto to force a victory even though the match for the first Leg this time is played at the Do Dragão Stadium which incidentally is home to Porto.

This match ultimatly not easy for Arsenal, but Arsenal have great chance to won. They a favorite team at this match rather than Porto, of course even Arsenal not guaranteed to win in an away game. Porto will bet their fate against one of the favorite teams this season, but I think Arsenal is not completely reliable even though the team's performance is very good. Maybe it's not an interesting match to look forward to, Napoli vs Barcelona is certainly more interesting in my opinion.

Indeed, in the end all matches in the Champions League will not be easy but on the other hand we must also be aware that in every match there is a probability and advantage so even though this is not easy because Porto also has considerable experience in the Champions League but when talking about probabilities then surely we know that Arsenal are the favorites in this match.

Porto will play home in their first leg which will certainly make them have a big enough fighting spirit because they will be watched by thousands of supporters who will surely crowd the do Dragão Stadium but on the other hand this will also not dampen the mentality of Arsenal especially this is the first season back they are in the Champions League after several seasons of absence which of course this must be well utilized by Arsenal especially their chances are higher than Porto.

They are big clubs in their respective leagues and have always been a club that competes in the Champions League and their experience is very good, but Arsenal will not let Porto go further and eliminate Arsenal in the knock out round. Arsenal's recent performance has been very good in the Premier League. and is ready to compete with clubs in the Champions League in the future. If you look at it in terms of strength, of course Premier League clubs are still strong clubs to compete in the Champions League and I guarantee that Arsenal will win the first and second legs and qualify for the next round.

A positive trend is of course the most important thing to build the club's self-confidence and a good mentality for the players and that is what Arsenal is currently feeling so I am quite sure that Arsenal will probably only experience a little difficulty in the first leg because they have to play away from home, but in the second leg I am sure Arsenal will win with a big score considering that recently the goals Arsenal have scored have been extraordinary.

Now Arteta must be able to develop their scheme and maintain the mentality that has been established in the last few matche in domestic competitions. In their last few matches in domestic competitions Arsenal have always played very well which is certainly a very good thing to be used as a guide for them in doing the first leg this time. But indeed in this case there is no guarantee that Arsenal can go smoothly in the round of 16 this time because even though the probability is large when compared to Porto but again this is not a certainty that Arsenal can get good results in the round of 16 this time.

The reality is Barca can't compete, But if Barca wins and progresses to the next round, Xavi can leave Barcelona through the big door, with his head held high.

The odds for both teams tend to be the same and it may be difficult to determine who will win the match. Napoli are expected to be superior because they are playing at home, but this does not completely make them favourites. Barcelona has a chance to win the match despite the team's performance being somewhat down this season and considering the odds for both are almost the same then this should be one of the most difficult matches to predict.

I don't see a favorite team between Napoli and Barcelona in the round of 16, but the intensity of the competition between the two is expected to be more interesting than several other matches. Both teams have the same chance of winning, but I will support Barcelona to win the first leg.

I was not surprised by the result between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Sociedad in the UEFA Champions League round of 16, because the match ended as I predicted. PSG will not be playing with pressure when they visit Real Sociedad, and if they can get a draw at Real Sociedad, they will qualify for the quarterfinals of the UEFA Champions League this season.

PSG Has it at the back of their minds to win the uefa champions league but I'm still doubting the possibility of that even if they are able to get pass the current stage were they are and are able to get into the next stage, they will still need to win the tougher and more experienced team they will be meeting ahead.

Real socidad may likely be eliminated by the end of their next meeting because PSG is most likely not going to allow the game end in such a way that wouldn't favour them, it's either a draw or PSG may most likely win but then PSG already has got a goal and socidad will need to cancel that goal by scoring at least two goals without a reply from PSG before they can be sure to win the game and qualify ahead of PSG but then PSG stands at the most advantage and they are the favour for this game too.

PSG management has spent so much money on quality players just to win the UEFA Champions League trophy, but they have failed to do so. If PSG qualifies for the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal, there is a chance PSG might qualify for the semi-final or even reach the finals if they do not play against Manchester City or Real Madrid in the quarter-final.

[BRINIRHA]

Currently, Barcelona performed not really bad managed to achieve three wins from the last four matches in La Liga, I don't think its not good condition from Barcelona last several matches before and they had more confidence than Napoli have very poor performance in domestic league. Barcelona more favorable than Napoli when both team face each other in Champion League knock out round match, I think Barcelona can manage for winning above two goals on the first leg match.

But some time we can't comparison with domestic league and champion league match, regarding with Lazio achievement in the first leg success defeated Bayern Munich are the top teams although in domestic league Lazio got many bad result. I am waiting magician from Napoli will make difference result predicting with their inconsistency performance in Serie A or easily for Barcelona secure the winning result on the first leg match.

I always don't want to underestimate the teams from Serie A because even though they are not good in their domestic league, in fact in big leagues such as in the UCL last season, Serie A teams dominated as the teams that progressed to the semi-finals and quarter-finals the most. Well, Lazio also surprised us because they managed to beat Bayern, who are actually also one of the important candidates to win the title this season. But in that match, Lazio was able to win, even though it was only a lucky victory because Bayern received 1 red card and this allowed Lazio to attack more easily. So, for the Napoli vs Barcelona match, unexpected things could happen again.

[tyz]

There are 4 matches left in the first round of 16, PSV vs Borussia Dortmund, Inter Milan vs Atletico Madrid, Porto vs Arsenal and Napoli vs Barcelona.

Still think that Dortmund, Arsenal and Barca should not have big problems to get into the next round. I'm going back and forth on who will come out as winner for Inter against Atletico. At the moment I'm leaning towards Inter, as they're dominating the league. However, Atletico are always good for surprises, so I assume both matches will be very close.

There is no doubt about Dortmund, Arsenal and Barcelona, but even if these three teams are favorites, there will always be unexpected surprises. Moreover, these three teams will play away matches in the first leg, of course their chances of winning will not be as big as at home. Home teams like PSV, Porto and Napoli will try to secure home advantage and even though it is quite difficult, at least they have to do it rather than in the second leg they will have even more difficulties.

On the other hand, if we talk about the Inter vs Atletico match, of course this is an even match and even though Inter has made a very impressive record so far, with the level of aggressiveness and mentality that Atletico has, the results will still be very difficult to predict. Atletico could win considering they have a slightly younger composition of players and I think Inter must know how to prevent attacks that Atletico will carry out later. Both teams scoring goals is certain and perhaps the match would be much more exciting if neither team wanted to give up.

Sure, there can always be surprises, that's part of the game, otherwise you wouldn't watch it if it was already certain who would make it into next round. But betting is always based on probabilities. And I think the probability of the three teams advancing is disproportionately high. Surprises are not ruled out, of course.

Currently, Barcelona performed not really bad managed to achieve three wins from the last four matches in La Liga, I don't think its not good condition from Barcelona last several matches before and they had more confidence than Napoli have very poor performance in domestic league. Barcelona more favorable than Napoli when both team face each other in Champion League knock out round match, I think Barcelona can manage for winning above two goals on the first leg match.

In domestic competitions, in terms of results they are not too bad but looking at the last few matches they have done we must be aware that there are so many shortcomings that Barcelona must fix in this regard.
We must be aware in the last 5 matches even though the positive results they always get but in the end we know their problems are still very much especially in their scheme and defense.

Barcelona always do the tiki taka scheme that characterizes them but precisely because of that they are always unable to focus on defense which in the end it hurts themselves.
We must be aware that when Barcelona attacks by trying to lock up their opponent's defense, they are always inconvenienced because their own defense is always a lot of gaps, which in the end many goals scored by the opponents they face, such as the results against Granada, which even they must be willing to share points in that match.

For the Champions League facing Napoli is not an easy matter even though Napoli are in pain now because their performance is far from expectations but we realize that Barcelona's performance is also still a lot of gaps that will be very easy to penetrate.

Arsenal Porto match is a game that somehow we can already speculate Arsenal to win considering the recent form of Arsenal and the fact that they are in a league that way more competitive than that were in Porto is and yet they are doing so well already which means they are most likely to perform better than Porto in their meeting.

Barcelona has really been in an unstable form which I can't say if they are even really in a good form enough but I believe that they Will try their best to get the best out of this game, Napoli to isn't that much in perfect form either but then if their key player who helps their morale will be playing that game then I can be sure they will be very expectant about their results at the end of the game but then both team currently have the equal chance to get pass the round of sixteen until after this game this game we can say if one has got above the other.

It's normal to start speculating like that because Arsenal is a much better team and should be getting a win. I am not saying that nothing else is possible but it does look like the most common possibility .This is mainly because they are dealing with a situation that could benefit them one way or another, and for that to happen we need to just focus on whatever Arsenal is capable of.

If you bet on them to win then there is a much bigger chance to win that bet, of course it's gambling and we could always be wrong but I am not guessing that Arsenal would lose this one, the yare going to come out to play and they will get the score easily and very quickly as well. This should be the most important part of the deal. I am already taking my position to bet on their win.
