Arsenal vs Dundalk Predictions

• Arsenal lost just two out of 14 matches at the Emirates to date in 2020.
• Dundalk are competing in the UEL group stage for just the second time.
• Arsenal scored 10 goals in three group stage home matches in last season’s competition.

Arsenal to enjoy comfortable evening

With spirits low following back-to-back 1-0 defeats in the Premier League to Man City and Leicester, Arsenal are in need of a pick me-up, and the Gunners have an opportunity to restore some positivity with a big win against Dundalk this week.

The League of Ireland outfit – competing in the group stage of the Europa League for only the second time – performed well in their match-day one loss at home to Molde last week, though a trip to play Arsenal at the Emirates represents a massive leap in difficulty.

With just two defeats in 14 competitive fixtures on their own patch since January 1^st, Arsenal have enjoyed plenty of home comforts in North London in 2020, and Mikel Arteta will want what is likely to be a changed Gunners team to do a professional job against Dundalk this week.

The well-drilled, but low-level Lilywhites, should find it tough to mix it with Arsenal’s Premier League standard players, and a wide-margin victory for the Gunners looks likely.

As a result, the Arsenal win and over 3.5 goals market is favoured for Thursday’s tussle, while our correct score prediction backs the higher-calibre Gunners to record a comfortable 4-0 victory and their second Group B triumph in as many games following their success against Rapid Vienna last week.
