Competition: Champions League
Market: Arsenal to qualify
Odds: 2/9 @ Bet 365

Arsenal face Besiktas at home in the Champions League qualifier second leg tonight, with their European campaign on the line. The Gunners will be without a selection of influential players, such as Mikel Arteta, Aaron Ramsey and Olivier Giroud, but manager Arsene Wenger still has a strong enough side to deliver.

Alexis Sanchez, Jack Wilshere and Mathieu Flamini will likely play tonight as a result of the absentees.

The first leg in Turkey was drawn 0-0, so Arsenal can’t afford a score draw at the Emirates otherwise they will be eliminated. A 0-0 tonight would see the tie going to extra time, where Arsenal would still be the favourites for victory. Bet 365 are giving odds of 2/9 for Arsenal to qualify for the Champions League through any means possible.

Arsene Wenger has a near perfect record of qualifiers in the European tournament, with the Londoners only having won twelve and drawn one of their 13 qualifying games played. They saw past Turkish opposition in Fenerbahce last season, so Arsenal will be confident they can repeat the feat.
