The Gunners are performing below their abilities this season. This applies to the Premier League, where the club is only on the 10th line, having 34 points in its asset. It is worth noting that Londoners are not playing as efficiently as usual and 31 goals scored in 25 meetings is a vivid confirmation of this. At the same time, Arsenal’s defensive redoubts are playing quite reliably and conceded only 26 goals. In the last match of the championship the Gunners lost again. This time they fell out of favor with the championship leader Manchester City, conceding a goal at the very beginning of the meeting. Incidentally, this ball was the only one in the match at Emirates.
It is worth noting that Maccabi made a huge breakthrough by making their way to the Europa League playoffs. Given the level and status of the opponent, everyone understands that the Israelis have practically no chance of reaching the 1/8 finals of the tournament. The first meeting between rivals clearly demonstrated this. The team of Patrick van Leeuwen was unable to provide a worthy resistance to its opponent and no serious struggle is planned in this meeting either.
