Arsenal

Mikel Arteta's side thrashed Sporting 5-1 away in the last round. As a result, Arsenal secured their third win in four recent Champions League matches and achieved their biggest away victory in this European competition since 2003. Moreover, the team conceded only their second goal in the group stage, ranking behind only four clubs in this regard. The English side has ten points and sits seventh in the standings.

Defenders Oleksandr Zinchenko, Takehiro Tomiyasu, Riccardo Calafiori, and Ben White will miss the match due to injuries. The participation of defenders Jurriën Timber and Gabriel Magalhães, as well as midfielder Thomas Partey, is also in doubt.

• The team has won in regular time in 6 of their last 7 home Champions League matches.
• The club has kept a clean sheet in 6 of their last 7 home games in this European competition.
• No more than two goals have been scored in 8 of Arsenal's last 10 Champions League matches.

Monaco

In the last round, Adi Hütter's side lost 2-3 at home to Benfica. As a result, Monaco's seven-match unbeaten run in regular time in the Champions League (3 wins, 4 draws) came to an end. Furthermore, the team conceded more than two goals in 90 minutes for the first time in 13 previous matches in this European competition. The club is eighth in the standings with ten points. Notably, with 12 goals scored in the group stage, the French side ranks behind only three teams.

Midfielder Krépin Diatta and forward Folarin Balogun will miss the game due to injuries. Defenders Wilfried Singo and Christian Mavissa Elebi are suspended.

• The club has not won in regular time in 10 of their last 12 away Champions League matches (6 draws, 4 losses).
• The team has scored in 6 of their last 7 away games in this European competition.
• The number "2" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 5 of Monaco's last 6 away Champions League matches.

Arsenal vs. Monaco: Match Prediction

At home, the Londoners prefer to play from a position of strength and spend a lot of time on the attack. The team rarely struggles with scoring; in their last 11 home Champions League matches, Arsenal players have found the net, scoring at least twice in eight of those games. Additionally, the English side has not left the field without scoring in their last six home encounters with French clubs in this European competition.

Monaco is also not accustomed to sitting back and actively showcases their attacking prowess even away from home. In their last 14 away Champions League matches, the team failed to score in regular time only twice, and in half of those games, the Monégasques scored at least two goals. However, the French club has conceded in 21 of their last 23 away matches in this European competition.

I expect a high-scoring game from both opponents, so my prediction: Both teams to score – yes
