In the second round of Group D in Champions League, Arsenal will host Galatasaray.
Arsenal didn’t have the best start in the first round of Champions league, when Dortmund beat then 2-0. Also, their performance in Premier league is not at the same level like the last season when they started amazing.
Arsenal and Chelsea are the only two teams in Premier league without defeat, but Arsenal have managed to win only twice, while 4 matches were finished without winner (2-4-0).
Home team have managed to win only two times in their last 9 matches in all competitions (2-5-2). The reason for the bad performance could be the problems with injuries. From the beginning of the season, Arsenal have problems with the injured players. Also for today’s match they don’t have full squad available.
Monreal (4/0 d), Debuchy (4/0 d), Ramsey (6/2 m), Arteta (4/0 m), Giroud (2/1 f), Sanogo (2/0 f) and Walcott (0/0 f) are all out, while Wilshere (5/1 m) is doubtful.
On the other side, Galatasaray took only one point at home against Anderlecht in the first match of Group D. Drogba left the team and joined Chelsea this season, but Galatasaray have pretty dangerous solutions in attack such as Yilmaz, Pandev, Sneijder and Melo.
Team from Istanbul have full squad available for this match.
Arsenal is a favorite in this match, but it won’t be an easy match for them. I expect very good performance of Galatasaray and I believe they could stay undefeated in this match, but I’ll add +1.5 on them, so even if they lose with one goal difference, the betting tip will be winning.
Arsenal vs Galatasaray Betting Tips: Galatasaray +1.5 Ah @ 1.52 (Bet365), X2 @ 2.40 (small stake or in some combo for smaller stake)
