Arsenal vs Valencia – Recent Results

Both teams have been struggling recently. Arsenal is currently in the middle of a three-game losing streak. Their Europa League results in this season, however, have been way better than that. Arsenal head coach Unai Emery has won the Europa League three times in a row with Sevilla between 2014 and 2016. He might add up another appearance in the finals with Arsenal in these next two matches.

Arsenal faced title contenders Napoli in the quarterfinals and they have decisively won this duel. They won both games and did not concede a single goal in these 180 minutes. Before that, they have overpowered Rennes at home even though they lost 1-3 on the road. London is a rather mediocre team on the road, but they are a force to be reckoned with when playing at home.

Valencia, on the other hand, has been putting up fairly similar results. They are currently still competing for a Champions League starting spot in La Liga. Even though they have lost three of their past five games, they are just three points separating them from the fourth spot.

Valencia is also one of the strongest La Liga teams in terms of defense. They have conceded only 32 goals in the past 35 matches. The Spanish side beat Villareal in the quarterfinals both, at home and on the road. Overall, they have not yet lost a single game in the playoffs.

Arsenal vs Valencia Betting Tips

Both teams conceded at least goal in each of their past three matches. Even though Valencia’s defense is really solid, Arsenal should definitely be able to take advantage of playing at home. The Gunners have not conceded a single goal at home in the Europa League playoffs. Betting on both teams not to score with William Hill is currently priced 12/11.

Even though Arsenal’s record against Valencia isn’t great, betting on the home side seems reasonable. The Gunners have been playing extremely well this season and Unai Emery has tons of experience in this competition. Arsenal has never lost against a Spanish side at home in an International competition. Therefore The odds for Arsenal to beat Valencia are 10/10 with Bet365.
