Arsenal vs AS Monaco Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The Gunners will take on Le Rocher on matchday six of the UEFA Champions League.

Arsenal host Monaco in the Champions League looking for a win that would strengthen their position in the top eight of the table. After five games, Arsenal sit in seventh place in the UCL table following three wins, a draw and a defeat. They have 10 points, level with seven other teams, so anything but a win could see them fall out of the automatic knockout places.

They will be disappointed with a draw against Fulham. They need to win every game to close the gap between them and Liverpool in the Premier League. The Gunners will have to be at their best to beat the Monaco team in UCL now.

Monaco have also enjoyed a solid start to their Champions League campaign, as they are tied with their opponents on 10 points and sit just a place below them. The French side are third in Ligue 1 after beating Toulouse at home by 2-0. They were beaten in their last UCL game by Benfica.

But they had picked up big wins against Barcelona, Red Star Belgrade and Bologna earlier in the competition. This will be an exciting fixture for sure.

Players to Watch

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)

Saka is a mid-volume, high-accuracy dribbler. Moving the ball through high-value areas, breaking lines and progressing the ball while in possession of it is a key part of Saka’s attacking game. He has excellent balance, maintains good control over his touches to commit defenders and uses well-timed, intelligent close control to move around, and beyond them. Saka can regularly find spaces in tightly packed areas in or around the final third.

Maghnes Akliouche (AS Monaco)

Movement is a major part of Akliouche’s game. He’s not short of enthusiastic moves across the space between the lines, looking for pockets to receive in. There are times he finds the perfect space to help connect play through the lines but there are also times where it becomes a hinderance.

Akliouche has quite a slender frame. With it, he’s good at moving the ball quickly between his feet on the spot but struggles when it comes to shifting his body weight and, therefore maintaining its balance.
