A Pass to Olympus: Europa League’s Final Matches

A match between two legendary European teams that aren’t getting into the CL&EL zones of their national championships. Due to tight competition in the Premier League and the Bundesliga, the British and Germans are betting on their success in the Europa League.

Arsenal is one of the tournament favorites. The team is 1st place in Group F, has never lost, and can boast 4 wins and 1 draw in the 4 matches played. A victory in the upcoming match will allow the Gunners to get into the playoffs. In the 1st round match of the current EL, the Londoners already defeated Eintracht in Frankfurt with a score of 0:3. In home matches of the Europa League, the last time Arsenal lost was February 22, 2018, and since then the team has had 10 wins, 2 draws, 31 goals scored and 8 goals conceded. Arsenal’s victory comes with odds of 1.965.

Eintracht is significantly weaker compared to the opponent. The Eagles are 3rd in Group F, with 2 wins, 2 losses, 4 goals scored and 6 goals conceded. As a result, the Germans are 4 points behind Arsenal. In general, November for Eagles has been marked by failures in all tournaments, including the national one. After a resounding defeat of Bavaria (5:1), Eintracht lost 3 games in a row (1 EL + 2 Bundesliga), scoring only 1 goal.

Arsenal is the favorite of the match. At the same time, in 3 out of 4 games in the current Europa League, the Gunners not just won, but actually scored 2 goals or more. Individual Total Over 1.5 (team 1) with excellent odds of 1.68 in 22Bet line.

Sporting - PSV

Both teams have extensive experience in European competitions and even won in them. At the moment, both are infinitely far from leading roles in their national championships. But both the Portuguese and the Dutch have a shot at the Europa League playoffs.

Sporting is the leader in Group D. Out of the 4 games played, the team has come out with 3 wins, 1 defeat and 9 points. In the current Europa League the Aristocrats scored 7 goals and conceded 4. The team leader Bruno Fernandes is 2nd on the list of the tournament’s top scorers. In case of victory Sporting is guaranteed progression to the next round.

However, PSV has already beaten the Portuguese (3:2) in their first Europa League group match, which means they are not afraid of the leader. At the moment, Eindhoven is 3rd in Group D with 2 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat. The Dutch are only two points compared to Sporting, catching up with the Austrian LASK and may well make an effort sufficient to roll them into the playoffs.

The rival’s statistics indicate that neither Sporting nor PSV will be sitting this match out, so the probability of a productive fight is extremely high. Since the start of the season PSV has scored 3 or more goals in 13 out of 24 matches, Sporting - in 5 out of 18. Total Over 3.5 comes with hot odds of 2.64. The Portuguese have the efficiency of 1.44 goals scored per match, and the Dutch - 2.05. Total Over 2.5 at moderate odds of 1.712 in 22Bet line.
