Arsenal vs CSKA Moscow Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Steve Ashfield | in Europa League Predictions
Arsene Wenger and Arsenal fans in general weren't at all happy about being in the Europa League this season after years of competing in the Champions League. Interest has increased in recent months though as it became apparent that for the second season in a row, the Gunners weren't going to be finishing in the top four of the Premier League. Now, just as Manchester United did last season, the Europa League suddenly becomes their only route into the Champions League if they can lift the trophy. In the group stages, Arsenal fielded a virtual reserve side but still ran out group winners by four points and at home they won two and drew one scoring nine goals and conceding just one. They had a few worrying moments against Ostersunds in the last 32, losing the home leg but then the big boys came into the team and they comfortably disposed of Milan in the last sixteen. After a terrible start to the year, Arsenal have won four games in a row and have scored three goals in each of their last three home matches.
CSKA Moscow began the season in the Champions League but finished third behind Manchester United and Basel despite winning two of their three away games. Two defeats to Manchester United, including a heavy home loss, cost them dearly and they ended up being transferred to the Europa League. The last 32 saw CSKA have a tough draw against Red Star Belgrade, drawing the away leg 0-0 and winning 1-0 at home. It was tougher in the last sixteen when they drew Lyon and lost the home first leg 1-0 before going to France and won the away leg 3-2 to make the last eight. They are currently third in the Russian Premier League and only two points clear in the battle to get a Champions League place next season.
Arsenal desperately want to win this competition and get back into the Champions League next season. They are returning to good form and are strong at home. CSKA won't be too easy to beat but have already lost twice to Manchester United this season. Go for Arsenal to get the home win.
