Arsenal vs AC Milan Preview

Arsenal vs AC Milan

Competition – UEFA Europa League

Stadium – Emirates Stadium

Date: 15th March 2018

Kick-off time – 20:05 GMT

Arsenal’s turnaround came in the first leg of this game at Milan.

They won 2-0 at the famous San Siro to halt a run of 4 consecutive losses and followed that victory up with another win in the Premier League at the weekend.

They know winning this competition is their best chance of making it to the Champions League next season and they will be looking to complete the job in this game.

The Gunners’ 3-0 win over Watford at the weekend keeps their home record intact against the teams outside the top two and it is hard to see Milan beat them here also.

Although Milan’s top four push has been making progress, the Italians know that winning the Europa League is a surer way to qualify for Europe’s top competition.

However, they will find it hard to overturn the 2-0 first leg deficit in this game.

They defeated Genoa 0:1 away from home at the weekend, but they would need to score 3 goals to progress in this game.

They have scored 17 times in Europe this season and they have scored in all of their last 8 away games in all competitions as well.
