Rennes vs Arsenal – Match Preview
Rennes vs Arsenal
Thursday 7th March 2019, Roazhan Park
UEFA Europa League – Round of 16BT Sport 2 – 17:55 GMT.
Arsenal’s venture in the UEFA Europa League continues as they travel to Rennes in the 1st leg of their Round of 16 tie.
The home side have made hard work of their European campaign as they scrapped through the group stages. However, they got the better of Spanish side Real Betis in the last round to earn their place in this round. Arsenal also didn’t make it straight forward. Unai Emery’s side needed a second leg routing to qualify after losing their first leg in the last round to BATE Borisov.
Rennes are the under dogs for this tie despite having home advantage and SkyBet have priced them at 11/4 to win. The French outfit enter this match in some nice form. They have lost just two of their last ten matches and their last outing saw them progress to the semi-finals of the Coupe de France. One man who has been key to them with his tricky feet and eye for goal has been ex-Newcastle United midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa. The Frenchman will be the main threat against Arsenal and is 13/5 to score anytime.
Arsenal are priced at 1/1 to win this match. Unai Emery will fancy his chances of leading Arsenal all the way to the final of this competition. Their away record in the Europa League is impressive, having not lost their last 12 matches away in France. Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang will be hoping he can add to his impressive season tally with a goal this Thursday. The striker is 11/8 to score anytime.
Last season in this competition, five of Arsenal’s eight knockout matches saw three goals or more. SkyBet are offering 2/1 for Arsenal to win and over 2.5 goals in the match.
The referee for this match will be Slovakian official Ivan Kruzliak. Both the clubs last competitive match saw over 60 booking points. I’d expect some cards in this match.
Rennes vs Arsenal will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 17:55.

Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham Hotspur – Match Preview
Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham Hotspur
Tuesday 5th March 2019, Signal Iduna Park
UEFA Champions League – Round of 16 – 2nd LegBT Sport 2 – 20:00 GMT
Tottenham Hotspur are back in UEFA Champions League action as they travel to Borussia Dortmund in hopes of retaining their aggregate lead.
The first leg at Wembley Stadium saw Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs run away with the match as they came out 3-0 victors. The Germans have a huge task ahead of them, with history showing just seven teams out of 130 in the history of this competition have turned around a 3-0 loss in the first-leg.
Dortmund are favourites to win this match from SkyBet, who have priced them at 10/11. However, the bookmakers don’t fancy their chances at qualifying for the next round as they are priced at 8/1 to win over the two legs. The Germans are going through a tricky patch given how impressive their season has been. They have just one win from their last five matches however one man hoping to turn their fortunes will be poster boy Marco Reus. The winger has been declared fit for the match and has managed six goals in his last nine matches. He is 11/8 to score anytime.
The two teams last five meetings have all resulted in goals being scored, with at least 3 goals scored. They are 21/10 to win and for both teams to score.
Tottenham are not favourites for the second-leg as many expect them to defend their lead. SkyBet have priced them at 11/4 to win at full-time. Spurs did themselves a huge favour by keeping a clean sheet in the first leg as Dortmund have no away goals. If they manage to bag a goal in this leg than the tie should be all over. Everyone supporting Spurs will be expecting Harry Kane to deliver the goods as his record of three goals in three games against Dortmund makes him a hot contender to score. He is 7/5 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Dutch official Danny Makkelie. The man in the middle could have his work cut-out, as many knockout matches see plenty of cards. 50+ booking points is priced at 11/8.
Borussia Dortmund vs Tottenham Hotspur will be televised on BT Sport 2 HD and kicks off at 20:00.
