Guimaraes vs Arsenal Prediction & Betting tips
Already on Wednesday Vitoria Guimaraes and Arsenal face each other in this round of the Europa League. Two weeks ago, Arsenal narrowly won against the Portuguese.
Vitoria Guimaraes:
This game will be played on Wednesday for safety reasons. Sporting Braga plays a home match against Besiktas in this round. The city of Guimaraes is not far from Braga, so the authorities did not see matches on the same day. The game is therefore brought forward by one day. Two weeks ago, Vitoria appeared surprisingly strong in their match against Arsenal. In London, the team actually earned a different result than a defeat (3-2).
Vitoria took the lead twice at the Emirates Stadium. Old well-known Marcus Edwards (formerly Excelsior) was one of the goal scorers on the side of the Portuguese, who for a long time did not fall for the much larger and more powerful Arsenal. That the team of coach Ivo Vieira stepped off the field with the 3-2 defeat, therefore led to disappointment on the Portuguese side. After the defeat in London, Vitoria played three games in its own country, with varying degrees of success.
Arsenal:
Arsenal was released two weeks ago with a fright. It was of course attacker Pepe, the expensive purchase that until then had shown nothing special, that gave the game a decisive turn with two hits for The Gunners. His striking free kick was unmistakably one to frame. “Pepe’s two goals were perfect,” coach Unai Emery said after the game. With nine points achieved, last season’s losing finalist is almost certain of a place in the knockout phase.
Although the results of the Londoners in the Europa League are excellent, the Premier League continues to play a mixed role. Last Saturday, Arsenal did not get further than a 1-1 draw at home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Emery is not expected to take his strongest eleven on Wednesday in Portugal, as the tough away match against Leicester City is awaiting Saturday. Just like in the previous European games, there will probably be a mix of basic and reserve players at the kick-off.
