Arsenal Strongly Fancied For Second Win Over Marseille

Arsenal currently top Group F with a one point lead over the second placed team and tonight's opponents Marseille. A win here would be a huge result for Arsenal and would make top spot almost assured which should at least mean Arsenal avoid Barcelona, the team that has eliminated them for the past two seasons, in the next round.

 

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has been given a much needed defensive boost with both Thomas Vermaelen and Carl Jenkinson being passed fit for this match. Yossi Benayoun also comes into contention having been ineligible to face his parent club Chelsea on Saturday. Arsenal are still without the likes of Marouane Chamakh, Kieran Gibbs, Abou Diaby, Jack Wilshere and Bacary Sagna who are all still sidelines with injury.

 

This looks a game full of good betting opportunities, Robin Van Persie is in top form at the moment having bagged a hat trick at the weekend, that took his goal tally to seven league goals in three matches and he will be Arsenal's main threat once again, the Dutchman looks a good bet to score first and anytime in this match. The safest bet of the match though should be on Arsenal to beat Marseille, Arsenal beat Marseille in France last time out in the Champions League and look in even better form now than they did then, Arsenal have won eight out of their last nine games and are appealing odds to win yet again.
