Ashburton Grove stadium will host the Europa League second leg match. London’s Arsenal will play PSV of the Netherlands. The teams are the favorites of their quartet, and therefore the encounter is seen as the most important element of the tournament struggle.
ARSENAL
“Pushkari” in the first round outplayed the Swiss “Zurich” on the road. “Canaries” from 1998 to 2017 consistently played in the Champions League, but since the season 2017/18, the team stopped to get into the top 4 of the APL and for the 5th time in a row starts from the group round of the LE. By the way, last season Arsenal went without Eurocups for the first time this century. In the 4 previous draws of the Europa League, the London club steadily made it out of the group to the playoffs, twice the team reached the semifinals, and in the 2018/19 draw Arsenal played in the final. In the last 5 matches in the League the Londoners have only 1 victory in 90 minutes (2 draws and 2 defeats).
PSV
The club from Eindhoven in their first game signed a world with the Norwegian Bude-Glimt. The club from Eindhoven for 2 consecutive Euroseasons starts with the qualification of the Champions League, in both cases the Dutch failed to pass to the main stage of this European cup. Last year PSV stopped Monaco in extra time, and this year – Rangers (away – 2:2, at home – 0:1). The last time the team played in the League in the season 2020/21, PSV won their group with 4 wins and 2 defeats, but did not get past the 1/16 finals. In the previous 11 matches in the European league the Dutch have lost only 3 times in regulation time (6 wins and 2 draws).
PREDICTION
In five previous meetings the sides played in the Champions League. There is no advantage for any of the teams. The clubs took one win each, and three more games brought the signing of the world. Characteristically, all five matches brought no more than two goals scored.
The Canaries have started the season more than convincingly. No matter how much we talk about the loss in the AFL to Man Utd, Arteta’s team is capable not just of facing teams of a lower level successfully, but also of winning with a margin of victory. PSV are just that kind of opponent. We expect the home team to win.
