So, yesterday talks weren't all nonsense, although that was quite devastating when Suarez scored his first goal on 16th minute, just 20 seconds later then it was needed. The others thoughts were spot on, which is still considered to be profitable result at the end of the day.
Today's fixtures are far less exciting with obvious underdogs.
So without any further ado let's get to it.
Arsenal - Monaco.
The season, which at its very beginning (June-July to be exact) promised to be loud success in the domestic championship turned out to be the ordinary one, where Monaco competing for place in Europa League for the next year. But given that they lost their brilliant Colombians Falcao and James (wow, that's a lot of firepower) it barely got anyone by surprise. Nobody expected them to advance to play-off and yet they managed it thanks to brilliant defensive play. They conceded 1 (one) goal at the group stage. And their current form isn't bad either.
Arsenal, on the other hand, advance in play-off round in 15th consecutive years. During four last seasons they weren't able to go any further than 1/8. They won 8 out last 9 games in EPL and being absolute delight to watch. In the light of key players recoveries from injuries they look very self-confident now. Due to the injuries Debuchy, Arteta, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain will be missing today.
I expect typical lower total game, where nobody can afford to pay for mistakes.
Now to the picks:
Only one team to score in the game
Arsenal to score first.
Total goals less then 3.
That's it for today. Enjoy the game!
