Arsenal v Monaco

Arsenal vs Monaco Preview

The Champions League action continues on Wednesday night and features this upcoming clash between English Premier League side Arsenal and their French Ligue 1 counterparts, Monaco, when the two teams prepare to do battle on matchday 6 at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsenal were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw away from home at Craven Cottage against Fulham on Sunday afternoon but nevertheless, that stalemate extended The Gunners' unbeaten run in all competitions to six matches overall.

Monaco managed to recover from two recent defeats on the trot by recording a welcome and solid 2-0 home win against Toulouse in Ligue 1 over the weekend and the French visitors will no doubt be keen to build upon this recent win by transferring this form into the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Four wins within their last six matches will give Arsenal a boost ahead of this important Champions League tie following recent victories over the likes of Nottingham Forest, West Ham and Manchester United in the Premier League, along with a crushing 5-1 victory away from home at Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon last time out in the Champions League.

Goals may also feature in this upcoming clash in England's capital as five out of Arsenal's last 10 games in all competitions have produced three goals or more.

Monaco have had to navigate their way through a rather mixed bag of results in recent times overall as the French side have picked up four wins but have also been handed four defeats within their last eight matches in all competitions, and this upcoming trip to the Emirates Stadium looks like another tough assignment for Adi Hütter's side as well.

Victories registered against Strasbourg, Brest and Toulouse in the French Ligue 1 along with a 1-0 win away from home at Bologna in the Champions League have been offset by slipping to four defeats as well.

Defeats at the hands of Nice, Angers and Marseille along with a 3-2 loss at home to Portuguese outfit Benfica, suggest this upcoming trip to face a high-scoring Arsenal side could end up in further disappointment for the French side here on Wednesday night.

Monaco have also been involved in a number of high-scoring games of late in all competitions as six out of the French side's last 10 matches overall have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals, and having suffered just the single loss in their opening five ties of this season's competition, Monaco find themselves level on points with their upcoming hosts, Arsenal.
