Last season Arsenal could not catch on for a place in European competition, for which they are fighting in the current championship. After a slight hitch at the start of the season, Mikel Arteta’s wards are gaining with each round. Over 20 rounds the Gunners chalked up 11 victories and two peaceful outcomes, which brought 35 points and the sixth line. However, the gap from the fourth West Ham is only two points. After success in a duel with Norwich (5:0), the capital club lost to Manchester City (1:2) at home. The team was unlucky in the semi-finals of the League Cup, where the Red-Whites lost to Liverpool (0:2) in the second match. Chambers, Tomiyasu, Soares, Smith-Row, Saka, Kolasinac, El Nenni, Pepe, Party, Aubameyang and Xhaka will not be able to play today.
Valencia had a successful start in the Copa del Rey, where they easily defeated Utrillas (3:0), Arenteiro (3:1) and Cartagena (2:1) in the early stages. The most difficult was the fourth stage of the tournament, in which the “bats” passed a difficult test with the uncompromising “Beleares” (1:0). In this game Andre Marcos opened the scoring in the first minute, which was enough to win. In the La Liga tournament the wards of Jose Bordolas have been added, but they are still far from a stable game. Over the 21 rounds of the current championship, the “orange” chalked up seven wins and eight peaceful outcomes, which corresponds to 29 points and the ninth position in the standings. It is impossible not to note the team’s equal performance in terms of performance where 33 goals are scored and conceded by each. After the victory over Levante (4:3), the Valencians failed twice and shared the tournament points with Sevilla (1:1) in the last round. Today Soler, Gomez and Gabriel Paulista, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to enter the field. More accurate soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
