Evening Standard Prediction

“Arsenal have played with a swagger and confidence in Europe that has been missing from their league displays, and that is unlikely to change against on paper the poorest team in the group.” Betting Tip: Arsenal to win 3-1 – 11/1 with SBK.  

Goal Prediction

“With 16 goals to their name but just two clean sheets from the opening five fixtures in the Europa League, Arsenal are surely worth the price on ensuring over 3.5 goals for their third continental game in four – as well as a fourth consecutive group game for Dundalk.” Betting Tip: Over 3.5 goals – 11/10 with Bet Victor.  

The Independent Prediction

“It is likely to be a tough outing for Dundalk, but with Arsenal rotating their line-up, why shouldn’t they dare to dream of at least picking up their first point of the campaign? Dundalk 1-1 Arsenal.” Betting Tip: 1-1 draw – 17/1 with SBK.  

Sportinglife Prediction

“The Gunners have scored an average of 3.2 goals per game in the competition this season, while matches they have been involved in have seen an average of 3.8 goals. For Dundalk, this figure is even higher, with the five matches they have been involved in this season’s Europa League yielding an average of 4.2 goals per game. This all points towards over 3.5 goals, which has landed in each of Dundalk’s last three matches in the Europa League, and two of Arsenal’s last three. Betting Tips: Over 3.5 goals – 11/10 with Bet Victor & Arsenal to win 4-0 – 17/2 with Paddy Power.
