Following three straight league defeats, Arsenal will be hoping to return to winning ways when they take on Valencia in the Europa League.

PaddyPower Pre-Match Odds: Arsenal 10/11, Draw 23/10, Valencia 11/4*

 

Arsenal’s only way into the Champions League may be through the Europa League after the Gunners chocked in their last three league games. 

 

Defeats to Crystal Palace, Wolves and Leicester have seen Chelsea jump above Arsenal into fourth spot. 

 

Valencia find themselves in a similar predicament with them, Getafe and Sevilla still in the fight for fourth. There are three games left in the Spanish La Liga with Marcelino Toral’s men just three points away from the last remaining Champions League spot. 

 

Both teams come into this game in poor form with the Spanish outfit losing their last two league games. Slender defeats to Atletico Madrid and Eibar certainly give Arsenal fans a lot of hope ahead of this upcoming semi-final. 

 

So, in this clash of out-of-form semi-finalists, the recommendation is to back the home side to win by a margin of one goal. This bet is currently priced at 11/4.
