Here are a few Arsenal vs Benfica free bets and special offers from the betting companies:
The Arsenal squad are the favourites to win this match 1.82 with Unibet, with Benfica priced at 4.20 with Unibet to cause an upset.
Given their performances this season, it’s not hard to see why the two teams are the price they are. Arsenal have been poor for a major part of the campaign. They are 10th in the Premier League and have some injury troubles to get over. Seeing how shaky their form has been a win here could be achieved at 1.82 with Unibet.
Benfica are not exactly running away in the Portuguese top-flight, winning only one of their last seven fixtures and that was against bottom club Famalicao. Given their strong presence in the competition, they are tipped to provide some competition at 4.20 with Unibet.
Speaking of quality, this will be an opportunity for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to get back to his scoring form. That is why he has been handed odds of 4.90 with Unibet to score the first goal.
Arsenal face Benfica at Karaiskakis Stadium on Thursday evening. Both teams need the win for different reasons with the Gunners looking to make a serious statement in Europe.
Arsenal Form
The Gunners had no end product in the previous meeting against Benfica and then were lacklustre against Manchester City as well. They will need to whip out more intent and determination to get past the Portuguese outfit on Thursday.
Arsenal Form: LLWDL
Benfica are a good attacking team but they hardly questioned the Arsenal defence in the first leg. They drew against Farense in the weekend, clearly looking tired.
Benfica Form: WWDDD
Arsenal have met Benfica just thrice before, losing one and drawing the other two.
Thomas Partey is very close to making his return for Arsenal. If he is deemed fit for this tie, it is likely that he will make an appearance next to Granit Xhaka in midfield.
Otherwise, Emile Smith Rowe might return to the line up ahead of Martin Odegaard. Rob Holding is due to miss out after picking up a concussion against Manchester City. David Luiz and Gabriel Magalhaes should return in defence for Holding and Pablo Mari.
Alexandre Lacazette has missed three games in a row now and could miss out on this one too.
As for Benfica, Jorge Jesus could go back to his familiar 4-4-2 setup for this tie. Darwin Nunez and Luca Waldschmidt are top picks to lead the line from the top. Jardel and Andre Almeida are set to miss out.
Julian Weigl and Pizzi should pair up in midfield to give Arsenal some problems like in the first tie.
