Arsenal looked like favorites before Sevilla's draw against Real Madrid but after Arsenal's draw against Chelsea it looks like either team can win this match. Of course, this match will be a tough competition between Arsenal and Sevilla as either of these two teams can advance to the next round. Lens are number one in the table with four points and their next match is against PSV. Even if Lens can't win against PSV, it's sure to get at least one point. If Lens gets a point against PSV they will advance to the next round and PSV will be eliminated. Arsenal and Sevilla with PSV either team will go to next round and one team will be eliminated from this season so this match is very important for both teams. This match will be played at Sevilla's home ground but I still consider Arsenal as slight favorites in this match.
Arsenal unexpectedly lost to Lens. Arsenal needs a victory against Sevilla on their next trip. In terms of recent performance, Arsenal is still the superior team. Coach Arteta will likely change the goalkeeper position when Raya does not play well. Arsenal's attack will still be the familiar trio SakaS- JesuSa- Martinelli.
Sevilla's side is not in brilliant form, but with what they are showing, they can take 1 point from Arsenal. Ramos and his teammates this season won 2, drew 5, and lost only once. The recent 1-1 draw against Real Madrid club is the most evident evidence.
Arsenal will get full points to make up for the defeat in the previous match, that is very interesting and I agree with that. Even though in the previous match they each drew in domestic competition, I think on paper Arteta squad has a better performance than Sevilla. Arteta is still missing two players due to injury, namely Jurrien Timber and Bukayo Saka, while Diego Alonso has a complete squad. However, Arteta still has several choices for rotation options, and I think the depth of his squad is better than Alonso.
On the other hand, the opportunity is still open for the four clubs in Group B to qualify for the next stage, this third matchday is very decisive. At the same time Lens will face PSV, I think this is very difficult to predict even though previously Lens managed to surprise everyone with their success in winning three points over Arsenal.
