Live on Sky Sports 4: Weds 19.45: Marseille and Arsenal (8/5, Hills) are 12/5 (bet365) to draw their Champions League encounter.
Arsenal have racked up three straight victories in the Premier League since their shock opening day defeat to Aston Villa and with the capture of Mesut Ozil signalling their ambition, the Gunners will head to Marseille in confident mood.
Arsene Wenger’s side will also kick off as William Hill’s 8/5 favourites while the hosts are a 2/1 shot at Skybet, so it’s clear the bookies are also reading plenty into the visitors’ form.
However, the French side, runners-up in Ligue 1 last term, are strong on their own patch, where they like to keep things tight and the Gunners might therefore find it tough to break them down at the Stade Velodrome.
Bet365’s 12/5 marked against the stalemate is arguably the best match bet then, especially as that’s an outcome the Gunners wouldn’t be too disheartened about and more ambitious punters can tackle Ladbrokes’ 13/2 for it to finish one-each.
Alternatively, Stan James quote 9/2 about it being level at the end of each half and in attack, in-form Arsenal front man Olivier Giroud will inevitably be well backed at 13/2 with bet365 to break the deadlock.
