Analysis and forecast for the match of matchday 5 of the Champions League “Arsenal” – “Lance” (11/29/2023)
The matchday 5 of the Champions League group stage between Arsenal and Lens will be played on November 29 at the Emirates Stadium – Ashburton Grove. The starting whistle will sound at 23:00 Moscow time. In the first round head-to-head matchup, the Blood-Golds beat the Gunners 2-1. Can Mikel Arteta’s men take revenge and guarantee access to the playoffs?
It won’t be easy for Ignashevich:
Baltica – Lokomotiv. The judges will not interfere with Galaktionov.
In the last Premier League match, the Londoners beat Brentford 1:0 and took first place in the standings. Arteta achieved his 116th victory in his first 200 games as Arsenal manager and a new club record. Previously, the achievement belonged to the famous French specialist Arsene Wenger, who recorded 111 victories.
It should be noted that Kai Havertz scored a goal against Brentford in the 89th minute. The Spanish coach stated in an interview that he was very happy for the German midfielder. The truth is that the midfielder has been the subject of harsh criticism throughout this season. Scoring will most likely help Havertz gain confidence.
After four rounds of the Champions League, Arsenal occupies first place in the table. They beat PSV (4-0), Sevilla twice (2-1 and 2-0) and lost to Lens 1-2. Brazilian Gabriel Jesus scored three goals and provided one assist, while Bukayo Saka contributed two goals and three assists. The main threat to Lens’ goal will come from them.
In the last five home games, taking into account all competitions, Arsenal have performed well. They defeated Man City (1-0), Sheffield United (5-0) and Burnley (3-1), and ended the match against Tottenham in a draw (2-2) in the Premier League. In the Champions League, Arteta’s team beat Sevilla (2-0).
Lewandowski does not pay attention to his opponents:
Barcelona – Porto. Will Pepe, 40, cause problems for Lewandowski?
After four matches, Lens is in third place in the standings. They beat Arsenal (2-1), tied with Sevilla (1-1) and PSV (1-1). The French club lost only to the “peasants” (0-1).
The Blood Gold know how to defend well and only conceded four goals in the Champions League group stage matches. However, the coaching staff has problems when playing in positional attack. The Club scored only four goals in four games.
Let’s take a closer look at the last match of Frank Eze’s team in the Champions League. Lens lost to PSV 0-1. The farmers managed to score an early goal. Luuk de Jong did it in the 12th minute after a pass from Joan Bakayoko.
Frank Eze’s team tried to take the initiative, but failed to take advantage of several chances. At the end of the match, gold blood player Morgan Gilavogi received a second warning and was sent off the field. He will miss the Arsenal game.
In the current French Championship, Lens occupies sixth position in the standings, 11 points behind the leader, PSG. It is very likely that the team will fight for the Champions League zone if it manages to avoid a recession.
Mikel Arteta’s men perform with confidence at home. He has the initiative, skillfully puts pressure on the opponent, but maintains the balance between attack and defense.
Kai Havertz, who responded to the criticism with a goal, is very excited. Lens’ attack in the Champions League has great difficulty creating and converting moments of danger. So let’s take a look at a bet on Arsenal’s shutout win at 2.17.
Prediction and bets for the Champions League match Arsenal – Lens on November 29, 2023
The Gunners took first place in the Premier League, but the fight for the title will probably continue until the last round. The victory in the match against Lens guarantees the Londoners access to the playoffs and the opportunity to play the last match of the group stage of the Champions League without pressure and give rest to the main players. Let’s not take his desire to take revenge for the bloody gold out of the equation and let’s bet on a clean victory for Arsenal in 2.13.
Tender: Arsenal’s victory was with a clean sheet in 2.13.
