Arsenal are in a rather shaky form, having won just three of their last six games in all competitions. The "Gunners" are currently 5th in the Premier League table, just 1 point behind the team above Man Utd.
Meanwhile, BATE Borisov has been in good form recently, the Belarus team is unbeaten in the last 4 matches with 3 wins. However, facing Arsenal will be a real challenge.
Experts all say BATE Borisov is not Arsenal's opponent. That is completely reasonable when relying on the forces of both teams. Moreover, in the past 2 meetings, the "Gunners" have won all, scored 10 goals against the opponent and only conceded 2 goals.
Arsenal manager Unai Emery is confident of a win for his side: "We came here to win, despite the weather being an obstacle. We metvorskla in Kiev when the snow fell at negative temperatures. It is not a big deal, the weather or the pitch. The match lasted 90 minutes and everything was the same for both us and them."
Confidence is seen when in this match registration list, the Spanish coach has many key players at home such as Ozil, Ramsey, Sokratis. A victory is not too unpredictable for Arsenal in this match. While the top 4 position is increasingly out of reach, the Europa League will be a lifeline for the Gunners this season.
Force information:
BATE Borisov: There are no significant absences.
Arsenal: Holding, Bellerin, Welbeck and Sokratis are still injured while Ozil, Aubameyang, Xhaka and Ramsey are doubtful to play.
Expected lineup:
BATE Borisov: Scherbitski, Rios, Volkov, Filipenko, Filipovic; Baha, Drahun, Hleb; Skavysh, Dubajic, Stasevich.
Arsenal: Cech, Maitland- Ni Niles, Mavropanos, Koscielny, Kolasinac; Torreira, Guendouzi; Mkhitaryan, D.Suarez, Iwobi; Aubameyang.
Score prediction: 1-3
