Arsenal Preview – Can Arsenal protect their lead?

Having recorded a valuable 1-0 win away from home in last week’s 1st leg in Greece, Arsenal will now look to protect their 1-goal lead when they welcome Olympiakos to the Emirates Stadium on the back of some promising results of late for Mikel Arteta’s side.

4 wins out of their last 5 matches will give Arsenal plenty of confidence and belief that they can see this 90 minutes out and progress through to the last 16 of the Europa League, and recent wins against Bournemouth (FA Cup), Newcastle United and Everton (Premier League) and Olympiakos in the 1st leg should set Arsenal up nicely ahead of this 2nd leg.

Arsenal bring a 7-match unbeaten run in the Premier League into this clash, while at home in the Europa League Arsenal have won 7 of their last 8 home ties in this competition, but did lose 2-1 last time out at home to Eintracht Frankfurt.

In addition, Arsenal have kept 5 clean sheets from these last 8 matches at home and Arteta’s influence upon The Gunners has resulted in a tighter back line overall.

Olympiakos Preview – Can Olympiakos give Arsenal a run for their money?

Despite losing in last week’s 1st leg at home to Arsenal in the Europa League, Olympiakos bounced back immediately with a 1-0 win away from home at PAOK in the Greek Super League which will give the visitors a timely boost ahead of this deciding leg in London.

The Greek outfit have also produced some encouraging results of late too as they’ve picked up wins against Atromitos, Panionios and PAOK in the Super League as well as a Cup win over Lamia, so they’ll also be bringing some momentum into this return leg.

However, switch over to results away from home in the Europa League and Olympiakos have been less convincing on their travels in this competition as the visitors have picked up just 3 wins from their last 10 ties on the road, so they may well have their work cut out at the Emirates Stadium on Thursday night.
