The Old Tolbooth Posted May 2, 2019 Share Posted May 2, 2019 I fancy Arsenal to sneak a win tonight, and although Frankfurt are decent in the German league, their league is arguably weaker than the EPL right now, and I reckon Chelsea will get through fairly comfortably....sadly!

Arsenal are a good attacking team, but dreadful at the back. Valencia should fancy themselves for an away goal at the least tonight, which Arsenal might be able to exploit. Eintracht and Chelsea are both good going forward, and have some good quality forwards, but are both capable of a few bombscare moments in defence. They should both be worth a watch! I'd be betting on Arsenal 1-1 Valencia, and Frankfurt 1-2 Chelsea for tonight, if I had to pick scores Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be betting on Arsenal 1-1 Valencia, and Frankfurt 1-2 Chelsea for tonight, if I had to pick scores I think Napoli are a far better team than Valencia and Arsenal managed to keep back to back clean sheets against Napoli. Arsenal have only conceded in 2 of their last 12 Europa League games and one of those matches was against Rennes when they were down to 10 men. Unai Emery is a master of the Europa League having won it 3 times consecutively with Sevilla and I think Arsenal priced at 11/10 is brilliant value, either 1-0 or 2-0 Arsenal for me. Guaranteed to be a 4-4 draw after that post! Edited May 2, 2019 by Mr Elwood P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an old cliche, but it depends who wants it more - if they're not overly fussed, the home teams will sit back and try not to concede an away goal, but sometimes football's funny and throws up a genuinely entertaining game when you don't expect it!

Now, it could be argued that they have already secured a Champs League Group berth for next season so could it be they weren’t going for it with all they had ? Valencia, on the other hand, sitting sixth in La Liga, would see the carrot of a Champs League place for winning the Europa a more pressing concern ? That includes Arsenal as well of course. All debatable but, personally, I thought Napoli never really looked devestated when they went out ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slightly selective stats though, in the same period they’ve had six finalists in the champions league. Surely a league should be judged by the more senior tournament.

Surely a league should be judged by the more senior tournament. I agree. But England have had nine in that time - and we've had CL winners who finished 5th and 6th. Between the mid-80s and the end of the 90s, Serie A's dominance was just incredible. Especially in the UEFA Cup, which was the best judge of league strength back then. Then they just fell off a cliff and have never fully recovered: with Calciopoli doing a huge amount of harm to the league's prestige and attractiveness. Italian football needs Milan and Inter to recover. That's what'd make Serie A a proper force again. Everyone else not called Juventus just can't do it at this level.

The "Player to get booked" market is pretty good, because it's a complete crapshoot and you sometimes get lucky. Just need someone to lose the head or get caught in possession and you're in!

It's the fact that qualifying for another tournament next season is seen as more of a "carrot" than actually winning a European trophy. It's the same as quite a few English clubs would rather finish 4th in the league than win the FA Cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
