The comparison is quite striking even though Sevilla is playing home in this match.
Arsenal are definitely favorites, it's just that when looking at the final results in the 2nd match against Lens and Sevilla's conditions which are sometimes difficult to guess, things like this could backfire for betors considering we know that sometimes Sevilla, especially when facing EPL clubs, are quite surprising, especially when playing at home.
But indeed Arsenal's odds are quite tempting at the moment and I will also definitely set aside a little for this bet even though the Arsenal bet will only be a single bet because my multi bet was destroyed because of Arsenal in the previous week 2.
Sevilla has so many issues recently at Laliga and Sevilla performance is similar just like a mediocre team because from 8 latest matches Sevilla only able to gets 2 wins and this also causes Sevilla owner have to sacked their previous manager so Sevilla is not in the good situation because they just changing manager which mean Sevilla players should be adapt to their new manager Diego Alonso and for Arsenal so far during this season their performance is still remains stable at Premier league too Arsenal still unbeatable but indeed Arteta should be evaluate the loses from Lens seems in this competition Arsenal still difficult to managed their performance and Arsenal should be carefull because sometimes Sevilla can able to performing well on European competition but for this match i am quite confident Arsenal will beat Sevilla and the odds for Arsenal is quite good to bet
Speaking of form, last season when they managed to beat Manchester United and even won the Europa League they were also in tremendous form problems so even if this can be used as a benchmark, Arsenal also stumbled last week against Lens who were even worse off than Sevilla at the start of this season in domestic competitions.
Indeed Arsenal are favorites in this match and indeed I'm sure no one can deny that but don't be too sure especially with the conditions of Arsenal and Sevilla which are sometimes unpredictable.
I don't think past statistics are very useful, according to past statistics a team may have been good in the past but they may be performing a bit poorly currently which can take advantage of that poor performance by the opposite team. Manchester City have lost two matches in a row in the Premier League but statistically Manchester City was ahead against the two teams but still they lost the away game. Results will come in favor of those who do well on the field.
Sevilla is a good team but in this Champions League competition I would definitely prefer Arsenal for this match. If Arsenal play at their best, they will definitely win this match.
