Arsenal vs Villarreal Free Betting Tips – Europa League
On Thursday evening, from 20:00, Arsenal and Villarreal meet in the return of the semifinals of the Europa League, in a match that the Spaniards can afford to lose! It was 2-1 in Madrid, and Unai Emery’s team knows that any goal scored away would greatly complicate Arsenal’s situation. It’s a duel of Spanish managers, and the amazing record in the Europa League gives Emery his first chance.
Arsenal – Statistics & current form
It is a wonderful opportunity for revenge for Emery, who wrote history in the Europa League, on the bench of Seville. He was also on Arsenal’s bench for a short time, being dismissed although he led the team to the Champions League places and to the UEL final. Coming out the back door from Emirates, Emery now has the chance for a new qualification in the last act, where he would duel with Manchester United. Arsenal have not looked great this season, especially from a defensive point of view, but the “gunners” seem to make progress at the end of the league and come after a 2-0 away win over Newcastle at the weekend.
Arsenal coach Mikel Arteta said after the tour match: “If we were to lose, the 1-2 score was probably the best I could have hoped for. I’m sure we have a chance to qualify and we could have been much closer, if we had equaled two in overtime “. His counterpart, Unai Emery, added: “We will approach the match with the same game plan, to control the game and to impose our style!”. On the other hand, Villarreal’s players are convinced that they are superior to the “gunners”, as the midfielder Manu Trigueros declared: “Arsenal escaped with their lives from the first round, but they should have been taken out of the calculations already!”. Therefore, both sides are optimistic about the qualification.

Villarreal – Statistics & current form
There are some group problems in both teams, before the return from Emirates: Arteta does not have Ceballos in the group and is waiting for the physical condition of Lacazette, Luiz and Tierney to be evaluated. Instead, Villarreal comes to the match without Foyth, Capoue and Iborra. In the last championship match, Villarreal beat Getafe 1-0, in a local derby that raised Submarin on the 6th place in La Liga, over Real Betis!
For Villarreal, the success of the tour was the first after four direct matches played against Arsenal. In comparison, both teams have two defeats in the previous five official matches. It is noteworthy that Arsenal has the best offensive in the Europa League this season, with an average of 2.54 goals scored per game! On the other hand, Villarreal received the first goal in just two trips out of the last 12 played in the Europa League, and the Iberians will be a difficult opponent to defeat on Thursday.
