The Daily Acca: Arsenal to cruise into the Quarter-Finals

Bet 1: Back Arsenal @ 20/23 – KO 20:05 GMT

The Gunners were excellent in their 2-0 victory at the San Siro a week ago and they followed that up with a 3-0 success over Watford. Arsene Wenger’s side had to put four straight defeats behind them to achieve it, and it appears that they are in good form again.

For all of Milan’s improvement under Gennaro Gattuso, they were comfortably beaten by the English club last week and it’s difficult to imagine them getting back into the tie at the Emirates.

The Italians did win 1-0 at Genoa on Sunday, but the fact that they will have to go on the front foot against Arsenal, could prove to be their downfall in this game.

Bet 2: Back Under 2.5 Goals in Lyon v CSKA Moscow @ 8/11 – KO 20:05 GMT

The French hosts pulled off a bit of a surprise by winning the first leg 1-0 in Russia and with a lead to take into this match, I can’t imagine that we will see an overly attacking performance from them.

Bruno Génésio’s men have now kept two clean sheets on the bounce and that has helped extend their run of matches to go under 2.5 goals to six. They don’t often concede more than once at home and the visitors have their work cut out this evening.

CSKA Moscow were unlucky not to qualify for the knockout stage of the Champions League as they took nine points in the group. They managed away wins at both Benfica and Basel, but Lyon have been excellent in this competition this season, and they will be aiming to stifle them from the off.

My fellow daily tipster, Kevin Hatchard also fancies a low-scoring affair in this game.

Bet 3: Back Over 2.5 Goals in RB Salzburg v Dortmund @ 4/7 – KO 20:05 GMT

The tie from Austria is one that I expect goals in through as Dortmund have to take it to Salzburg having lost the first leg 2-1 in Germany.

The Germans aren’t having their finest of campaigns, but they are still third in the Bundesliga and still have a chance of making the last eight of this tournament.

When it comes to goals, their league matches this year are averaging 3.31 goals each time, and they haven’t failed to score in an away game of any nature since September 9th.

Red Bull Salzburg have seen their last three Europa League fixtures see this selection land and they are usually very free-scoring at home.
