The Canadian club clearly did not fulfill tasks set for the group stage, because they have not yet scored a single point. In the first match, Thierry Henry’s squad minimally lost to New England (0-1) and then they lost to Toronto (3-4). The French mentor still needs more time and, most likely, the management understands this, so the emphasis will be on the next season, although the team still has the opportunity to compete for the third line in Group C. Montreal will meet with DC United and try to score at least some points, so we expect aggressive play and pressure from the club.
Arsenal reached the FA Cup final, beating Manchester City in a brilliant manner (2-0), while leaving townspeople no chance. After such matches, it seems that now there are no obstacles and the Gunners have a trophy in their pockets. In the championship, the “gunners” performed unsuccessfully. After the fifth place last season, the 10th position does not prettify the capital club, which also left the Europa League. However, reaching the Cup final will bring them a ticket to the European competition, as Chelsea will certainly not give up their place in the Champions League. The assets of the “red-whites” have 13 wins and 14 draws, while Mikel Arteta’s charges have hit the opponents’ goal 53 times. The team’s best goalscorers were Aubameyang (20 goals) and Lacazette (10 goals). Guests spent the summer stage quite successfully, but three defeats spoiled the overall picture. In the last two matches, the team lost to Tottenham (1: 2) and beat Liverpool (2: 1), for which we made a forecast. Chambers, Martinelli, Marie, Leno, Ozil and Mustafi will not be able to play in today’s match and Genduzi will not enter the field by Arteta’s decision.
