Arsenal Win • 2.36

Napoli lost the battle for Serie A title long time ago and they basically had no imperative in any fixture in the last couple of weeks. The lack of motivation was the main reason for a slower run of results as Partinopei claimed just one point in last two league ties against Empoli and Genoa.

Carlo Ancelotti mixed up his cards for Sunday’s league draw to ten-man Genoa. Napoli had a strong campaign in a super tough Champions League group with Liverpool and PSG, but they came third after a last round defeat at Anfield.

The visitors eased past Zurich with two wins in the last 32 round before moving past last term semi-finalists Salzburg 4-3 in aggregate thanks to a 3-0 victory in the first leg at Stadio San Paolo.

The home clash will be the key for Arsenal’s Europa League run. Unai Emery’s men were almost impeccable in front of their fans in all competitions and we will go with the home win

Arsenal Win • 2.36

Our home form is excellent, so I am pretty confident when we play at home. I have not been confident and never will be with this team defensively. They do not know how to defend.

Napoli are not brilliant. They had a draw at home at the weekend and are second in Serie A, but are not as strong as they used to be.

Unai Emery - please just play Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette. He said how they are a strong combination but he is not playing them together. I don't get the decision to play Mohamed Elneny and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.

Aubameyang, Lacazette, Aaron Ramsey and Mesut Ozil must start together on Thursday, and if they do, Arsenal will win.

Arsenal Total Over 2 • 3.05

From a betting point of view, ‘Arsenal to Score Over 2 Goals’ stands out as a viable option. Napoli, who’ve already failed to shut out both Salzburg and Zurich during the knockout rounds, have surrendered an average of two goals and 2.1 expected goals on their travels, so Arsenal, who’ve averaged 2.2 goals for and 1.85 expected goals for at home look a decent bet
