On Wednesday, at 15:50 pm, Arsenal will travel to Guimaraes for the former FCSB duel in the UEFA Europa League play-off. The “Tunarians” defeated Vitoria with difficulty, in the match on their own ground, managing to return after the Portuguese drove away.
Without Aziz, Andre, Medarious and Wakaso, the black and white hope to defend better this time, given that Arsenal scored three times in front of them, “Emirates”. Unai Emery will once again be forced to use a few reserves, but the Iberian has the complete lot available, including the stars Lacazette, Aubameyang, Pepe, Ozil or Dani Ceballos. The “Tunisians” have an enviable offensive force.
In Group F, Arsenal have a maximum score after the first three stages (10-2 goal), while Guimaraes is already eliminated, with three failures per line (2-6 goal). Eintracht Frankfurt and Standard Liege, who meet in a decisive duel, will be fighting for second place.
Arsenal comes after a draw in the championship, 1-1 with Wolverhampton, a team with great ability and quality in the middle of the field. Prior to this tie, the “Tunisians” suffered an elimination from the English League Cup, although they scored 5 times during the regular season against Liverpool! London have only one victory in the last five official matches, but the parties in the Europa League are watching them, as a rule.
Neither Victoria Guimaraes is in a form of envy, achieving only one success in the last five matches: a 5-0r with Belenensens in the championship. In the rest, failures with Sintra (1-1 and 3-4 d.l.d., in the Cup), Arsenal (2-3 in the UEL groups) and Sporting Lisbon (1-3 in the championship). Therefore, the defense of the black and white is far from inspiring confidence, and the “gunmen” should impose their game in Portugal as well.
