Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda Matched Betting Tips

Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda matched betting tips for the Europa League match at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday 2nd November. Read the match preview and predictions for Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda matched betting tips.

It goes without saying that in an ideal world Arsenal would not be playing European football on Thursday nights. The Europa League is not their first choice competition, but while they are in it they may as well go all out to try and lift the trophy. After all, it may be the easiest route to qualifying for the Champions League next season. Crvena Zvezda are the visitors to the Emirates this time and will be looking for revenge after a late Olivier Giroud goal won the reverse fixture for Arsenal.

As you would expect, Arsene Wenger has named a much changed side for the Gunners’ matches in the Europa League so far this season and that trend is expected to continue here. Some of the young players that started in Belgrade will probably feature again here, including Reiss Nelson and Ainsley Maitland-Niles. Olivier Giroud and Jack Wilshere will also be looking to impress.

The visitors could name a similar line up that almost got a point against Arsenal in the reverse fixture, though Milan Rodic will be suspended after his red card. As they’ll expect to see very little of the ball, a defensive 4-5-1 formation is expected, hoping that lone front man Richmond Boakye will get a chance or two to grab a goal on the counter attack.

Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda Team Predictions

Arsenal 3-4-2-1 Formation: Cech; Debuchy, Elneny, Holding; Nelson, Coquelin, Wilshere, Maitland-Niles; Walcott, Iwobi; Giroud

Crvena Zvezda 4-5-1 Formation: Borjan; Stojkovic, Savic, Le Tallec, Gobeljic; Srnic, Kanga, Donald, Krsticic, Radonjic; Boakye

Arsenal v Crvena Zvezda Predictions

Even with a number of changes to the starting 11, Arsenal go into this match as firm favourites and will expect to come away with the win. It was far from a comfortable game for the Gunners in Belgrade, but at home it should be a different story.

Domestically, Crvena Zvezda are doing very well, but playing a side like Arsenal is a huge step up for them. Arsene Wenger’s side have won all three of their group games in the Europa League so far and look like they will win the group with ease. Arsenal would actually secure qualification for the knockout phase with a win here, which will take any pressure off for the last two group games.

The tip for this game is of course an Arsenal win. It should be easy enough for them, which is why we have gone for Over 2.5 Goals and a 3-0 Correct Score.
