After five of the six group games played, the difference between Dundalk FC and Arsenal FC could not be greater. The home side from Ireland lost all five games and have long since been eliminated. The guests from England, on the other hand, remained victorious in all five group matches and progressed to the second round as group winners. For both teams, it is no longer about anything.

Nevertheless, in the run-up to the encounter between Dundalk and Arsenal, the odds of the bookmakers clearly turned towards the guests from London, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.

The Gunners already won the first leg at home very clearly 3-0 against the underdog from Ireland. It is to be expected that Mikel Arteta will spare some top performers for the upcoming role in the Premier League. Nevertheless, even a C-Elf of the highly decorated Gunners should be vastly superior to the Irish club.

Although the Londoners could get over a draw as well as a defeat, the Irish are ultimate to be assessed as not competitive enough to land this coup in this “David versus Goliath” constellation. We, therefore, recommend the tip on the clear away win of the Gunners with at least three goals difference at Dundalk against Arsenal.

Dundalk – Statistics & Current Form

The Dundalk Football Club celebrated the 14th Irish Championship so far in 2019 and successfully defended the title. In the 2020 season, which ended a month ago on November 9, 2020, it was ultimately only enough for third place in the final table.

Only seven of the 18 league games were able to win the Lilywhites, who landed a great success last Sunday. With a win on penalties, “The Town” secured their twelfth overall victory in the FAI Cup, the most important Irish cup competition for club teams, over the undefeated champions Shamrock Rovers.

The last competitive game for the next two months

It is precisely this tailwind that the men of interim coach Filippo Giovagnoli, who has now received a permanent contract as head coach because of the cup triumph, want to transport into the Europa League game against Arsenal.

  • “I am thrilled to have signed the contract. It is an honour for me to defend the colours of this incredible city and I will do my best to make the club success ” – Filippo Giovagnoli at the Irish Mirror

For the footballers from Dublin, it is the last competitive game of the 2020 season, which corresponds to the annual calendar.

The next competitive game is not before the new squad in February, which is why the Irish can play over 120 minutes from last Sunday despite the exhausting cup fight. Now all that remains is to sell yourself dearly one last time against an overpowering opponent.

Nine defeats in a row in the EL group stage

Offensively, the Lilywhites even played quite well. After all, they scored six goals in five group games. The 15 goals conceded on the target side ensured that these goals were not enough for a single point. Currently, the Dublin club has lost the last nine group games in the Europa League in a row.

That at Dundalk vs. Arsenal’s tip on an end to the series is not too promising, a look at the home record shows. Of the last eleven European home games, “The Town” only won two games …

The probable lineup of Dundalk:
➤ Rogers – Hoare – Boyle – Gartland – Dummigan – Gannon – Shields – Flores – Sloggett – Oduwa – Kelly

Arsenal – Statistics & Current Form

Arsenal FC wants to get back to the Champions League as soon as possible. The men of Mikel Arteta had to be happy to start at least in the Europa League after a spoiled preseason.

After this was missed through the league, the Gunners only solved the title for the second most important European competition for club teams because of the overall victory in the FA Cup. At the moment it looks like a return to the premier class can only lead to international success.

Lost six of their last eight Premier League games

After all, Londoners show completely different faces from week to week. While they shone in Europe, made dominant appearances and won all five group games with 16: 3 goals, things went deeper and deeper in the Premier League.

The 13-time English champions have lost six of their last eight league games. Most recently, the Gunners conceded another 0-2 bankruptcy in the North London Derby at Tottenham, with which Mikel Arteta’s team was passed on to 15th. Accordingly, the focus at the moment must be clearly on showing the Europa League face again in league operations.

The Burnley game is already casting its shadow

The coming Sunday is accordingly groundbreaking for the Gunners, when Burnley, the current 18th of the Premier League, will visit the Emirates Stadium. It will be a match in which anything but a win would exacerbate the crisis ad infinitum and possibly even cost Mikel Arteta the job.

 

The probable lineup of Arsenal:
➤ Rúnarsson – Kolasinac – Marí – Mustafi – Soares – Elneny – Maitland-Niles – Pépé – Lacazette – Nelson – Nketiah

Dundalk vs Arsenal Betting Odds and Predictions

At Dundalk against Arsenal, our prediction is influenced by the real worlds that lie between the two teams. If the Lilywhites were to sell their entire squad-based on current market value, they could use the proceeds to pay Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s salary for just one month. It’s hard to imagine that with such dimensions there is something to be gained for the blatant underdog.

Key facts – Dundalk vs Arsenal tips

🔺 Arsenal won the first leg 3-0
🔺 Dundalk have lost nine games in the EL group stage in a row
🔺 Arsenal haven’t lost in any of their last eight international away games

Instead of playing a romantically transfigured, but not very promising outsider bet, we recommend betting on a correspondingly clear outcome. A victory for London with three goals difference like in the first leg seems anything but unlikely.
