BETFAIR ARSENAL VS VILLARREAL CHAMPIONS LEAGUE TIPS
Arsenal go into their dead-locked fixture with Villarreal as the out-and-out favourites to secure victory in the match. The layers on Betfair have Arsenal sitting at 1.56 for the win contrasted with the extremely long 7.4 odds on Villarreal striking here. The draw pays out at 4.4. Adebayor and Van Persie are the favourites to score first with both players listed at 5.6. Giuseppe Rossi (10.5) and Nihat Kahveci (13.0) are good bets to get on the score-sheet should Arsenal concede and I can see them factoring into the ultimate equation here. Also, keep your eye on Ruben Cani on the flank. I think he's a very under-rated player who could certainly make a name for himself here. There isn't much in this game except for Arsenal's precious away goal from the previous leg. I can see that Arsene Wenger's men will be looking to get out there and score, but I'm anticipating an opening 45 minutes of containment and then Arsenal will push forward. Villarreal are a solid counter-attacking side and Arsenal will be wary of putting too many men forward. I can see Adebayor working on his own quite a bit up front and I have a feeling he'll have three or four players defending him all game. Theo Walcott is said to be slated for an appearance here and you can back him at 3.65 to score anytime. His pace could trouble Villarreal, but he will need to perform at his absolute best.This match is by no means a guarantee, but Arsenal go in as big favourites. If they can keep Villarreal from scoring, this one is all theirs.
