Match Preview
After three back-to-back league defeats, Arsenal’s Premier League form continues to falter, therefore the Europa League (EL) comes as a welcome distraction. Leaking goals has been the biggest issue for Unai Emery’s side, with Arsenal conceding exactly three goals in each of their previous three matches. |
It’s the second consecutive season that the ‘Gunners’ have reached the EL semi-final, however a slight concern will be that they have lost two of their previous six knockout fixtures (W4, L2). A caveat to that was the fact both defeats came on the road – meanwhile at home Emery’s men have won each of their previous four EL matches without conceding a single goal. |
Like their opponents, Valencia have struggled in their domestic league recently, winning just one of their previous three league games (W1, L2). However, they have taken to the EL like a duck to water after dropping out of the Champions League, and are undefeated in their last six EL matches (W5, D1) – impressively three of those victories were accompanied by a clean sheet. |
The visitors have won two of the previous four H2Hs against Arsenal in Europe (W2, D1, L1). Notably the Londoners drew a blank in two of those meetings. |
Players to watch: Shkodran Mustafi joined Arsenal from Valencia in 2016 and could be out to hurt his former side – he has one home EL goal this season. |
Daniel Parejo has two goals in his previous four competitive matches for Valencia – including a goal in his previous EL match. |
Stat attack: Each of Arsenal’s last four competitive wins have been accompanied by a clean sheet. |
Arsenal have scored two or more goals in each of their EL knockout home victories. |
Both teams have scored in four of Valencia’s previous six competitive matches. |
Valencia have received two red cards in their previous seven competitive away games. |
