Arsenal will know that they will need to win their final Group H match against Partizan next week, to ensure their place in the next round of this season’s Champions League. The Gunners looked on course to sail through this stage but back-to-back losses mean they need a final day win to progress. Anyone who has bet on Champions League group stages will still expect them to progress.
They could have had the job done against Braga in their last match, only to put in a disappointing performance, going down 2-0 in Portugal when a draw would have been enough to qualify. Braga will go to group leaders Shakhtar Donetsk needing a win to have any chance of securing a shock qualification. The Champions League betting tips suggest they will struggle to do this.
The Gunner’s will be without their captain Cesc Fabregas for their crunch match. The captain suffered a hamstring injury in the Braga match and is a major doubt for the Partizan match. There is a chance he could be back for the all important Premier League game at Old Trafford on the 13th.
Arsenal FC are likely to be without Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Eboue for their final UEFA Champions League Group H match after both picked up injuries in Tuesday’s 2-0 defeat at SC Braga.
Despite their recent Champions League hiccups, Arsene Wenger will still be confident of doing the business at the Emirates. The Arsenal boss is desperate to pick up some silverware after a trophy less six years and this is a competition in which Wenger would love to win. It was four years ago when he came closest to leading his side to European glory, losing in the final to Barcelona. The Frenchman will be desperate to go one better this year.
