Arsenal vs Rennes
Thursday 14th March 2019, Emirates Stadium
UEFA Europa League – Round of 16
Live on BT Sport 2 – Kick-Off: 20:00 GMT
Arsenal are at home to Rennes in the UEFA Europa League as they will look to put right the 3-1 deficit they suffer after the first-leg.
It all seemed to be routine for Arsenal in the first leg as they went 1-0 up early through Alex Iwobi, however a red card for Sokratis saw them crumble. Goals from Benjamin Bourigeaud, Ismaila Sarr and a Monreal own goal saw them fall to the feet of the French side.
Arsenal are heavy favourites for this one with the bookmaker as SkyBet have priced them at 3/10 to win. They are also still in the running to qualify and are priced at 10/11 to reach the next round. Unai Emery’s side have made their home ground a fortress this season and have lost just 2 of 23 matches there. Striker Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has been enjoying his first season in London and got on the scoresheet in their last outing against Manchester United. He is price boosted to 11/4 to score first.
Many are putting the first-leg down as a blip for the Gunners. Their record in this competition has been impressive as they have kept a clean sheet in six of their last eight Europa League matches. They are 5/4 to win to nil.
Rennes are under dogs for this match and are priced at 17/2 to win at the Emirates Stadium. Rennes will be going to the Emirates knowing if they can hold Arsenal to a clean sheet or just one goal they will progress. They made a great account of themselves last time and midfielder Hatem Ben Arfa caused loads of problems. The trickster is 4/1 to score anytime.
The referee for this match will be Latvian Andris Treimanis. The official could have a lot on his hands after the first-leg antics and with the tie still wide open. Expect cards.
Arsenal vs Rennes will be televised live in the UK on BT Sport 2 and kicks off at 20:00.
Prediction: Arsenal 2 – 0 Rennes
7/1 – 2-0 Arsenal – The London sides home form should be enough to see them marginally qualify.
