Arsenal - BATE Borisov Football prediction

If the visitors are to go through, then their best chance is to try and shut up shop. Having restricted Arsenal to just a few opportunities last week, the visitors may fancy themselves to keep things tight, but their efforts on the road against another London club in the groups suggest that they’ll come unstuck eventually. Thursday’s visitors conceded 1.74 goals when facing Chelsea away from home, so Arsenal ought to be capable of creating opportunities in this second leg.

Taking everything into account, the bet that stands out is ‘Arsenal to Win & over 0.5 Goals’. On the balance of play, the visitors really ought to have come away with a narrow victory last week, but they can make up for failing to do that here. The visitors showed enough in the first leg to suggest that they can avoid a battering, but they lack quality, especially in the final third, while their previous away-day efforts in this competition show that they’re unlikely to hold out for 90 minutes.
