Back Another Arsenal Win And Both Teams To Score When The Gunners Visit CSKA Moscow

CSKA Moscow v Arsenal - Thursday 12th April, 20:05 (VEB Arena)

Four first half goals at the Emirates last Thursday sees Arsenal travel to CSKA Moscow buoyed and with one foot firmly planked in the Europa League Semi-Finals. CSKA didn’t redeem themselves on Monday night with a home loss against cross-town rivals, 9th placed Dinamo Moscow, and firmly dents their already slim chances of winning the Russian Premier League title.

After losing four straight games which got the villagers brandishing their pitchforks, Arsenal are on a fantastic run of six straight wins, and scoring with swagger. They have a return of 18 goals over that six, compared to five in the previous number.

	CSKA Moscow v Arsenal
Tips	Arsenal win and BTTS    Best Bet	@ 13 / 5

Arsenal should behave with dignity and provide a professional, organised display that should make them easily see out this tie. Arsene Wenger’s side do not particularly need to score, but they don’t sit to sit back either. Predicting a low-scoring game is fairly sensible. Suggesting a draw at both Half-Time and Full-Time is 5/1 with bet365, or the Gunners slightly edging it with confidence and replicating Dinamo’s score of 2-1 is 15/2 with William Hill.

Welbeck played exceptionally well in the 3-2 win over Southampton in the Premier League on Sunday, one glaring miss notwithstanding- and deserves to retain his place on Thursday night. Wenger has spoken of the pride he has in the former-Manchester United man’s mentality after periods of extensive and more-often-than-not unfounded criticism. For him to reward his manager’s confidence on Thursday, 11/2 as last goalscorer is a decent price with bet365.

Last week, braces from both Aaron Ramsay and Alexander Lacazette saw off Viktor Goncharenko’s men. One might want to back Arsenal to take the outside chance of the Lacazette scoring a penalty for the third time in four games, with Arsenal being 13/2 to score a spot kick with betfair. With all of the goals coming in the first 45 in North London last Thursday, Coral give a best 12/5 for the most to do the same on Thursday.

A pessimist might observe that Arsenal have shipped three goals in their last two games, and backing an Arsenal Win, with BTTS is 13/5 with William Hill. For CSKA, notably Aleksandr Golovin’s exquisite free-kick was his second in back-to-back games and to see him make a habit of scoring fantastic goals, like he did against Olympique Lyonnais as well in the preceding European fixture provides 9/2 (boylesports and BetFred). He has also opened the scoring in three of his last five games for CSKA and started on the bench on Monday. Betfair also give him 15/2 to score first for CSKA.
