Match Preview
| Two victories from their last two group stage games hauled BATE into the Europa League (EL) knockout stages as they finished second behind Chelsea in Group L (W3, L3). Yet despite being domestic champions for 13 consecutive seasons, the Belarusians have never progressed past this stage of the tournament, but did end a run of five straight European home games without a win as they beat Hungarians MOL Vidi in their final group stage home fixture. |
| However, with the Belarusian top flight wrapping up in December along with the EL group stage, BATE haven’t played a competitive match since the middle of that month, which could be advantageous to opponents Arsenal. |
| The ‘Gunners’ made light work of their EL group, finishing unbeaten and in first place (W5, D1). The London outfit didn’t concede a single goal on the road during the group stage (W3), a stark contrast to their Premier League (PL) form where they remain the only club in the division yet to register an away clean sheet this season. |
| In fact, a clean sheet here would be Arsenal’s sixth consecutive in the competition and would set a new tournament record. Yet with just two wins in their last eight away matches (W2, D2, L4 – in all competitions), setting that record is certainly not guaranteed. |
| Players to watch: Maksim Skavysh was BATE’s top league scorer (11 goals) and netted in their last EL game. Meanwhile, Alexandre Lacazette has now scored in Arsenal’s last four PL victories. |
| Stat attack: Both teams have scored in just one of BATE’s last five EL home matches. |
| Arsenal’s last six EL away victories have been ‘to nil.’ |
| These two met in last season’s EL group stage with Arsenal dispatching BATE at home (6-0) and away (4-2). |
| Arsenal scored three first-half goals in each of those H2Hs, with the opener coming before the 15th minute. |
