Arsenal v Panathinaikos Preview Live ITV1 19.45pm

It's hard to see Arsenal losing this. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to understand the reasoning. Arsenal just should be too good for the Greeks. They have beaten them on all of the three occasions they have met at Highbury. North London's Greek community will be out in force and the atmosphere will be great, but even this will not be enough to sway things. Arsenal also have to win this?.it's a little too close for comfort in their group. The odds at Stan James reflect this?.Arsenal?..2/9, The Draw?..4/1, Panathinaikos??9/1. Arsenal are a short price, so it might be better to look at other alternative bets on the game. Firstly we have Arsenal half time/full time at 4/7. Draw half time /Arsenal full time at 7/2 is a more tempting price, but the Greeks will have to survive the first 45. There is a Match Handicap as well. Arsenal - 1 goal are 8/11, The Tie is 13/5, and Panathinaikos +1 goal are 11/4. Arsenal 2-0 are 6/1, Arsenal 3-0 are 8/1. These are the seemingly obvious alternative bets, but we all know football has a habit of catching us cold at times. Is it feasible that the Greeks could surprise the Gunners? Well Arsenal do occasionally get the jitters in Europe, and without Sol Campbell they will be under strength at the back. The Greeks will also know that they still have a chance in the group and if they could get any sort of result here they will be passed the hard part. But realistically a draw would be all they could expect. Arsenal have been very strong at home and Wenger knows that winning the Champions League is number one priority. He wants to get into the next phase as soon as possible to take the heat off his players. We suspect that Arsenal will run riot tonight. An interesting bet is Thierry Henry to score last at 3/1. The Frenchman has put the ball in the net no fewer than four times in the last minute. If all goes accordingly to plan it will be the icing on the cake for the Gunners.
