Command Analysis
Arsenal
EnglandCurrent form
Arsenal are approaching the start of the sixth round of the Champions League in seventh place in the table with 10 points. So far, the Londoners are coping with their main task, entering the top eight, but the density is very decent, and one failure can seriously affect their further prospects for finishing in the top 8. In the previous round, the Gunners showed their best in attack in Lisbon and crushed Sporting with a score of 5:1. Thus, they managed to rehabilitate themselves for the failure in the game with Inter (0:1).
In the Premier League, after the international break, https://www.arsenal.com target=_blank rel=noopener>Arsenal confidently dealt with West Ham (5:2) and Manchester United (2:0). However, they failed to extend their winning streak to three matches. In the London derby with Fulham, Mikel Arteta men had a significant advantage, but in the end they drew (1:1). In the Premier League standings, the Gunners are in third place, two points behind Chelsea in second place, while Liverpool is ahead by six points and has a game in hand.
Arsenal have been notable for their clear conversion of attacking moments from corners in recent matches. Two goals against Manchester United and one against Fulham were scored from corner kicks.
Disqualifications and injuries
Tomiyasu and White will be out with injuries today, while Gabriel, Calafiori and Zinchenko are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Arsenal have not won in the first half in their last two matches
- The Gunners have won six of their last seven Champions League home games
- Arsenal have kept clean sheets in six of their last seven Champions League games at home
Probable line-up: Raya - Partey, Saliba, Kiver, Timber - Odegaard, Merino, Rice - Saka, Havertz, Martinelli.
Monaco
FranceCurrent form
“Monaco”, like the upcoming opponent, has scored 10 points in five rounds of the Champions League, with which it closes the top 8. For four matches, the “Monegasques” went unbeaten in the main football club tournament of Europe, but still in the previous game on their home field they could not cope with “Benfica” (2:3), although until the 84th minute in that meeting they were leading by a score of 2:1, and one of the goals was scored when they were already playing with one man down in the second half. It should be noted that the matches involving “Monaco” in the Champions League are distinguished by high scoring – they scored 12 times, but have already conceded seven goals.
In Ligue 1, Adi Hütter men are not very stable, but they are still in third place, behind Marseille only on additional indicators. PSG are ahead with a five-point lead over the duo of pursuers. In the last two rounds, Monaco first lost away to their direct competitor for second place, Marseille (1:2). Then there was a confident 2:0 home victory over Toulouse.
It will clearly be difficult to play reliably today in defense, which regularly fails. And in London they will have to play without disqualified defenders Mavis and Singo. There is no full-fledged replacement for these players in the squad.
Disqualifications and injuries
Mavissa and Singo will serve suspensions, while Diatta and Balogun will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Monaco have failed to win in 10 of their last 12 away matches in the Champions League
- Monaco have scored goals in six of their last seven Champions League matches
- Monaco players have been caught offside more than their opponents in five of their last six matches
Probable line-up: Majecki – Wanderson, Kehrer, Salisu, Henrique – Kamara, Zakaria – Akliouch, Ben Seghir, Golovin – Embolo.

1.54Tip and bets
Despite the fact that the opponents have scored an equal number of points and are located on neighboring lines in the table, bookmakers in this pair give a clear advantage to the hosts. It is hard to disagree with this. After the international break for national team games, Arsenal gained a decent momentum, winning four matches with a total score of 15:3. The only misfire happened with Fulham, but there they were largely unlucky with the implementation. Monaco is not particularly stable, especially in away matches, the defense often fails, and today they still have to play without two main defenders. We think that the Gunners will confidently score three points and consolidate their place in the top 8.
Our prediction is Arsenal to win with an Asian handicap (-1.5) at odds of 1.88
Bet on total
"Monaco" has been scoring a lot throughout the tournament, but at the same time it has been allowing a lot at its gates, demonstrating a rather bold game. "Arsenal" is always ready to support such football, plus it is good at set pieces. We expect in the forecast that the match will be productive.
The second bet is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 1.65
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Arsenal have won four of their last five matches, and in three of those cases the wins were by two or three goals. We expect a comfortable victory from the Gunners today.
Prediction: Arsenal win by two or three goals with odds of 2.48
