Handicap Arsenal (-1.5) • 1.39

Arsenal come into the second leg of this Europa League tie having lost the first leg 1-0. Not scoring an away goal may prove crucial in this tie, if BATE Borisov can grab one, then the Gunners will need to score three times in 90 minutes to get through to the last 16. After a long unbeaten run, Arsenal have lost four of their last seven matches in all competitions. Of those defeats, only the FA Cup tie loss to Manchester United was played at home. The Gunners have only lost two of their last 19 home games.
BATE Borisov don't begin their new league season for a while but they still put in a good display in the home first leg. They will hope to put up a better display than two years ago. These two sides met in the 2017/18 Europa League and BATE lost 6-0 at the Emirates. BATE have won two away Europa League away games this season but have lost four of their last six conceding 15 goals. Arsenal won't play a full strength team but with home advantage can get a win in this game.

Handicap Arsenal (-2) • 1.62

Arsenal to win and win well. Pretty poor performance in the away leg by the Gunners, they will be fired up to gain revenge. Emery has generally done okay this season after taking over from Wenger ( Arsenal fans might disagree).. however no mistakes tonight and a thumping victory. 4-1?
After a terrible result last week away from home, Arsenal have to overcome a 1-0 loss and I would expect them to win this home fixture by 3 clear goals and think they would win to nil and win the handicap as well
