Arsenal take on the visitors Atletico Madrid at “Emirates Stadium” in the first-leg match of the UEFA Europa League semi-final. The game will be played in London on Thursday, April 26th.
Arsenal show awful performance in the Premier League this season. The team fails the season and the only way to save it is to win the UEFA Europa League. “The Gunners” took the first place in Group H of the UEFA Europa League which they shared with FC Koln, BATE and FK Crvena Zvezda, then knocked out CSKA Moscow, Ostersunds and AC Milan. The English club managed to score 29 goals in 12 encounters conducted which speaks in favour of the team’s excellent play in attack, however, its defense also acted at the high level, having conceded 10 goals. In the recent home fights Arsenal have beaten West Ham 4:1, broke Southampton 3:2 and CSKA Moscow 4:1.

In their turn, Atletico Madrid feel slightly unconfident in this season which disappoints the club’s fans. “Los Colchoneros” were knocked out from the UEFA Champions League as they had settles on the third position in Group C in a tough rivalry against Chelsea, AS Roma and Qarabag while in the UEFA Europa League the Spaniards managed to pass over Sporting, Lokomotiv Moscow and FC Copenhagen. “Los Indios” showed extremely strong football in attack, having scored 15 goals in six clashes played while their defense was also doing great with only three goals conceded. In the previous tackles conducted on the road Atletico Madrid have lost 0:3 to Real Sociedad and 0:1 to Sporting plus gained 1:1 draw against Real Madrid.
The upcoming opponents have never met before in the official battles. The forthcoming fight promises to be very interesting as the teams are more or less of the same level, however, Arsenal have a slight advantage as they will host the game.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win.
