CSKA Moscow take on the visitors Arsenal at “Arena CSKA” in the second-leg clash of the UEFA Europa League quarter-final. The game will be played in Moscow on Thursday, April 12th.
According to the statistics, CSKA Moscow haven’t succeeded in not a single fight out of six latest encounters conducted in front of their supporters against the teams representing the English Premier League and it looks like this series won’t be broken in the forthcoming battle even despite the fact that “Armeitsy” conceded only one goal from Lyon at their own turf in the previous round of the UEFA Europa League. The forthcoming hosts will not be able to engage two key defenders on Thursday evening, moreover, at the moment they stay in a blue mood because the side lost an important tackle against Dynamo Moscow with 1:2 scoreline to the rival which was battling holding the relegation battle. Besides, at the moment CSKA Moscow’s offense is an extremely weak form as it has scored only four goals in five home encounters within the Eurocups (with the qualifying stage not included) while it is to face Arsenal which had managed to obtain clean sheet even in the match against AC Milan on the road a month ago.

Meanwhile, Arsenal’s task for the upcoming game is very simple – to score a goal. This would completely decide the destiny of the pass to the semi-finals and allow the footballers to act more relaxed. It’s worth mentioning that the forthcoming visitors come up to the clash in excellent conditions as the side has gained six victories in a row plus practically all the key performers will appear on the pitch. This means that “The Gunners” are not going to play on lose, but are set to show their best football. Still, Arsenal look weaker on the road rather than at the home field as they have scored more than a goal only in four out of last 15 battles conducted on the road.
Arsenal have earned a very comfortable handicap, having thrashed CSKA Moscow 4:1 in the first-leg head-to-head. Nevertheless, the English side is not going to arrive to Moscow relaxed, but extremely concentrated and focused. Speaking about the Russian club, it should be noted that it scores not much as under 2. 5 goals were scored in six out of seven home fights within the Eurocups in this season. At the same time, “The Gunners” conceded only one single goal in four latest clashes on the road in the UEFA Europa League. I believe neither that the hosts will score more than one goal in the forthcoming tackle nor that the visitors will score a bund of goals.
Prediction for the match: Arsenal to win with +0.0 Asian handicap. Under 3.5 scored goals.
