Arsenal at the current stage of the season with full commitment can focus on the Champions League. The London club is so firmly in second place in the domestic league that only a ridiculous fluke could allow them to become champions or drop out of the top four, which gives them a ticket to the Champions League next season. In the current elite European tournament the Canaries finished the overall stage without five points out of a possible 24. They were lost as a result of away duels in Italy against Inter (0:1) and Atalanta (0:0). The said exuberance allowed Arsenal to finish third and automatically qualify for the 1/8 finals. PSV was less fortunate in the overall stage. The Dutch club took fourteenth place with fourteen points. In the draw for the knockout rounds, it seemed that PSV were also particularly unlucky, but Juventus are now as scary as it might seem. In Eindhoven, the hosts took revenge for their defeat in the tournament, and in the extra time they scored the winning goal. But only a full-fledged revenge in the return meeting of the 1/8 finals at Arsenal will not be able to take. "Canaries" destroyed PSV in the first confrontation of the round, scoring him seven goals (7:1). Tournament intrigue in the London meeting is absent, but it is unlikely that the guests will refuse the opportunity to slam the door before departure. In the next round of the Eredivisie PSV will face the penultimate club in the division, so there is no need to save energy. Bookmakers have identified the home team as the favourites for the upcoming game, offering odds of 1.41 on their victory.

Arsenal on the background of success in the Champions League has strongly surrendered in the Premier League. On Sunday, the Gunners lost points for the third time in a row after failing to beat a limping Manchester United away. Three full days after the return meeting with PSV, Arsenal play a landmark league game against Chelsea. With the current 7-1 scoreline, Arteta is unlikely to field a fully fit squad. This suggests that PSV players, eager for at least a partial rehabilitation, will definitely have the opportunity to score. We bet that the rivals will exchange goals.
