Football betting tips: Europa League
1pt Arsenal to win and BTTS at 9/5 (Betfair, Boylesports, William Hill)
This is a fairly big game in Group A of the Europa League, with Arsenal currently two points clear of PSV as they welcome the Dutch side to the Emirates.
Victory for the hosts would all but secure top spot and safe passage to the quarter finals of the competition, though defeat would mean they would have to get a result in Eindhoven or hope for a PSV slip-up.
The way in which the Gunners have gone about their business this season has been excellent, and at home, it really is hard to oppose Mikel Arteta's side, even if he rings the changes once again.
PSV are to be taken seriously though, with the Dutch side boasting some excellent players, particularly in forward areas.
Eindhoven are just one point behind Ajax in the Eredivisie and have averaged 2.69 xGF per game, highlighting their attacking power.
In Europe, they have generated 2.00 xGF per game, so I think they can cause Arsenal a few more defensive issues than the two weaker teams in the group have (Bodo/Glimt and Zurich).
That could especially be the case should Arteta rotate as he has so far in this competition, but Arsenal's home form and process is hard to overlook, meaning an ARSENAL TO WIN AND BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE is the selection.
The Gunners have won every home game this season across domestic and European matches, with this bet landing in five of six. The strength of PSV's attack and the slightly weakened Arsenal XI should mean we get a good run for our money.
