Athletic vs Arsenal Prediction & Tips
The Basques return to Europe’s premier club competition after a decade away and hope to cause an upset from the outset. Last season, the team finished fourth in LaLiga and had an impressive European campaign in the Europa League, reaching the semi-finals. Athletic are particularly strong at home, winning six of their last seven European matches at San Mamés.
The Londoners are entering the main phase of the Champions League for the third consecutive time and are full of ambition. Under Mikel Arteta, the Gunners reached the semi-finals in a recent edition and last season defeated clubs such as PSV and Real Madrid. The team is confident in attack and stands out for its efficiency: nine of its last ten Champions League matches have ended with at least three goals.
