Arsenal comes into the Europa League Round of 32 with one of its remaining lifelines for European play next year.
Here’s how to stream Arsenal live.
Benfica vs. Arsenal: Preview
Arsenal had a terrific outing against Leeds last weekend. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his first-ever Premier League hat trick en route to a 4-2 win over Leeds. That positions Arsenal to make a possible run at the European places, with Spurs right above it at ninth in the table. Mighty Liverpool is only six points better at this stage of the campaign. But Arsenal needs more consistency to vault those teams.
Benfica would be absent from Portugal’s Champions League places were the season to end today, so it has some more work to do there. Of course, winning the Europa League is also a route into Champions League, though Arsenal—even with this season’s woes—isn’t an easy out.
Odds
According to the oddsmakers at BetMGM (as of Feb. 2):
- Arsenal, +105 (wager $100 to win $105)
