Arsenal welcome the visitors Rennes in the Europa League Playoffs – 1/8 Finals. The match will be held on Thursday, March, 14th, at the Emirates Stadium (London).
Arsenal feature quite a successful campaign overall. The team’s main goal in the Premiere League is to reach the Champions League zone ending in top-four (they may even fight for top-three, actually), but gold medals are out of the question. The Europa League is a great chance for Unai Emery to gain a trophy in his very first season: the Londoners’ chances are quite high. Notably, Arsenal’s home performance is much stronger than away. Thus, the team are undefeated in five consecutive clashes on their turf (in all competitions), having registered their last loss to Manchester United. The ‘Gunners’’ first leg against Rennes wasn’t held up to their scenario: they conceded away, 3:1, but they will be more confident and aggressive within the comforts of the Emirates Stadium, most likely downing the guests there.

Rennes are a French middle-class side that sit eighth in the Ligue 1 standings. In the Europa League, they are known as a solid outfit to be cautious of, but their chances to pass Arsenal, even though they gained a confident win at home, are extremely small. The side’s defense is far from being labeled ideal, while the Englishmen’s attack is powerful.
The hosts on the day, certainly, look favorites in the coming clash – they boast a more qualified and better-staffed squad. The sides’ levels are different, but Rennes may score a goal and Arsenal will net twice at least (probably, more). Therefore, the match will produce over 2.5 goals, for sure. The ‘Gunners’ need to prove themselves, so, by all means, they will attain a win on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win home & Over 2.5 goals.
