Arsenal host Eintracht Frankfurt at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday, with head coach Unai Emery under immense pressure following a recent run of poor results. The new and best betting site with the highest odds in Nigeria 22Bet offers their look at what might be the result of the game.
Arsenal won the reverse fixture in Frankfurt 3-0, but have been very poor since and have taken just three points from their past five Premier League matches.
Frankfurt also have hit top form this year and currently sit 10th in the Bundesliga and are third in Group F, level on points with Standard Liege in second.
A defeat here would put them up against it in terms of qualification for the knockout round, while Arsenal know a draw here guarantees their progression to the next round.
Team news
Arsenal have doubts over the fitness of Bukayo Saka, Rob Holding and Sead Kolasinac with all three players currently being assessed by staff on a daily basis.
Dani Cebollas is a slightly more long-term worry after the midfielder picked up a hamstring injury in the last round against Vitoria, which should keep him out until late December.
Frankfurt goalkeeper Kevin Trapp will miss this game and is unlikely to return until January 2020 after he dislocated his shoulder in September.
Frederik Rannow is also suffering from illness and is in a race to be fit for the trip to London.
Prediction
Arsenal have been in very poor form in recent weeks and produced two very unconvincing Europa League performance in their recent matches against Vitoria.
Frankfurt’s form has been similarly patchy and they lost 2-1 away at Standard Liege in their most recent Europa League outing.
However, Frankfurt did beat Bayern Munich 5-1 to end Nico Kovac’s career as Bayern manager and they will have the opportunity to do that again with Emery hanging by a thread at Arsenal.
Overall, expect a dull 0-0 draw, with neither side able to produce a winning touch. Take heed of this prediction by using 22Bet’s sports betting bonus of 50,000 NGN today!
