Prediction

Arsenal’s away form is not as consistent as their home performances, and the team’s style of play has been questioned by many former legends. Monaco, however, is still a strong team this season, currently ranked just below Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1. Unlike Arsenal, Monaco plays a more aggressive style with particularly impressive counter-attacking abilities. So far, they have scored 5 counter-attacks, ranking first in Ligue 1 in this regard. While Monaco may not have the same reputation as Arsenal, they are very proficient in counter-attacks and are also solid in defending set-pieces, an area where Arsenal usually excels. Given the large handicap for Arsenal, I believe Monaco will manage to keep the deficit to a maximum of one goal.

Pick: Monaco +1.5 (bet365)
