Arsenal are as short 2/9 to beat Marseille in their Champions League game at the Emirates tonight (7.45pm KO, Live on ITV1) and look a decent punt at 19/20 with BetVictor to do so and keep a clean sheet in the process.
Arsene Wenger’s side know home victory over Marseille, the weakest side in the pool, is pretty much essential if they are to progress to the next stage and in their current mood I fully expect them to get the jobs done with the minimum of fuss.
They will be brimming with confidence following their 1-0 away success against Borussia Dortmund, and with their opponents having lost four out of four so far in the competition a wide margin win could well be on the cards and I can’t see the French side getting on the scoresheet.
That makes the 19/20 on offer about Arsenal winning to nil far more attractice than backing them in the outright market at punative oddss of 2/9, and I am also going to suggest backing them to win 4-0 or 5-0 to small split stakes at odds of 13/1 and 25/1 respectively with BetVictor.
Olivier Giroud continues to bang in the goals for the Gunners and looks well worth a wager at a standout 20/21 with bet365 to net anytime.
