BATE Borisov vs Arsenal Predictions and Betting Tips: Europa League Preview

BATE Borisov vs Arsenal predictions, betting tips and preview for tonight’s Europa League fixture in Belarus. The home side are very familiar with English opposition after losing twice to Chelsea in the group stage and they’ll certainly be looking to ensure they keep things tight when Arsenal come to town.

BATE Borisov vs Arsenal Predictions

Much has been made of Unai Emery’s supposed impact since coming to Arsenal but it’s certainly debatable whether or not his current club are any better than they were when much-maligned Arsenal Wenger was still at the helm. In any case, The Gunners have failed to reach the Carabao Cup final and are well out of the Premier League title race, so there’s no reason why the bulk of their focus shouldn’t be on their European campaign.

BATE are nine points clear at the top of their domestic table but they’re not playing against the best of opposition and frankly shouldn’t be giving Arsenal too many scares when they lock horns on Thursday night. I can see the visitors taking a lead back to England with them and winning the first leg – but possibly not without conceding.

 

BATE Borisov vs Arsenal Anytime Scorer Prediction

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang didn’t feature in Arsenal’s recent 2-1 win over Huddersfield and the Gabon international’s absence was clearly felt by his colleagues, who laboured to victory. It is expected that the former Dortmund striker will be fit enough to travel here and could be joined by Mesut Ozil, who was also a doubt. Aubameyang has been one of the few bright lights in what is shaping up to be another season of domestic failure for Arsenal, and he’s very much in touch with the Premier League’s top scorer at this stage. If Arsenal are to win and to make things uncomfortable for their less illustrious hosts, then the 29-year-old will almost certainly have played his part. You can get better than even money on Aubameyang to score any time here which will reel a few in if he features in the starting lineup.

Correct Score Prediction

I think most observers are expecting BATE to have a real go in front of their own supporters as the tie will almost certainly be beyond them if they’re heading to London chasing victory. By the same token, Arsenal, too, have the opportunity to put down a marker and make a statement to the other clubs chasing Europa League glory. It will be far from a walk in the park for The Gunners, but Chelsea have already proven that there’s no excuse for failing to beat relative minnows both home and away. I think the visitors could edge the Belarussians out by the odd goal in three and you can get 8/1 on them winning by a 2-1 score line.
