Champions League preview: Arsenal vs Sevilla, Copenhagen vs Man Utd
Arsenal vs Sevilla
Arsenal have lost a couple of matches in the run-up to this one. Meanwhile, Mikel Arteta’s complaints about the standards of officials in the Prem have been met, broadly, with little sympathy.
Does a visit from Sevilla offer the north London club a first-rate chance for a reset? Or could the Spanish side add to the Gunners’ grumbles on Wednesday?
The visitors’ threat-level doesn’t seem especially imposing, giving Sevilla have one win in eight games in all comps going into this one. Diego Alonso’s side are also winless in this Champions League group, with two draws and a defeat (to Arsenal) from their three games to date.
In other words, Arsenal will have to go some to make a mess of this. Backing over 2.5 goals and over 6.5 total corners in the Bet Builder market gives you a return of 2/1. That bet would have paid off in Sevilla’s last two CL games, and in all three of Arsenal’s so far this season.
Copenhagen vs Man Utd
If Arsenal have wandered slightly off-course, Man Utd are stumbling and staggering like a poet on payday.
Recent wins are a case study in papering over cracks; against Fulham, the side needed a late, late effort from Bruno Fernandes to break the deadlock. And in the reverse fixture against Copenhagen, United took victory only after Andre Onana saved a penalty, again in stoppage time.
The Manchester team have lost two of their three CL games to date, and it’s not impossible that this trip to the Parken Stadium will give Erik ten Hag further cause for embarrassment.
The Danish side scored against Bayern last month, and will want to put in a battling performance against a United side that clearly have some problems.
Backing Copenhagen or the Draw in the Double Chance market at 11/10 is worth considering.
