Arsenal to beat Slavia Prague 2-1

Betting odds: 15/2

Arsenal return to the Europa League action on Thursday to host the competition surprise package Slavia Prague.

The Czech Republic club have already eliminated two British clubs in Leicester City and Rangers.

The Gunners edged past Benfica in the round of 16 winning 3-2 on aggregate.

Mikel Arteta’s side will have to be wary of Prague but should still have enough quality to win on Thursday.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague: Recommended bets

Bukoyo Saka to score first. Saka is set to return for Arsenal having missed the last few matches due to injury.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague: Bukoyo Saka to score first

Betting odds: 11/2

Saka has been a key part of the Gunners’ team this season and is the player most likely to have an influence on Thursday.

The north London club are without Odegaard and, with Aubameyang out form, Saka is the player Arteta will be looking to against Slavia.

Arsenal vs Slavia Prague: Match preview

Arsenal managed to exact revenge on Olympiacos for eliminating them from last season’s Europa League as they defeated the Greeks in the round of 16.

The Gunners edged past Pedro Martins’ side winning 3-2 on aggregate.

The north London club nearly made a mess of the tie as they were beaten 1-0 at the Emirates only for their 3-1 win in Piraeus proving to be enough.

Mikel Arteta’s side will have to pick themselves up from the weekend’s defeat to Liverpool.

They were trashed 3-0 by the Reds in what was a very lacklustre performance by Arsenal.

Slavia Prague once again head to the UK looking to cause yet another upset.

The Czech Republic side produced one of the biggest shocks of the competition as they defeated Leicester City 2-0 at the King Power.

Jindřich Trpišovský’s side then eliminated Scottish champions Rangers to book their place in the quarter-finals.

Slavia have proven to be a side capable of causing an upset and they will be looking to do so again on Thursday.
