Chelsea – Arsenal, Europa League Prediction


ANALYSIS AND PREDICTION FOR CHELSEA - ARSENAL
After the tragic performance in the mid-term and end of April, in which Arsenal lost three consecutive matches with 3 goals conceded in each in the Premier League, the Gunners could not reach the top 4, but eliminated Valencia in the semi-finals in the Europa League and in the last round played with a lot of ease by defeating Burnley dominating the game. An astonishing difference in Arsenal’s performance in the Europa League in the matches against Valencia and Napoli visits, for example, where they played against very strong rivals at the top level, and in the Premier League they were terrible lately. We think the problem here is psychological and certainly Emery will be working on this summer.
Chelsea made it very hard to get here after a penalty shoot-out against Eintracht, and it could be said that they were lucky as the match against the Germans was not worse at all. Now, however, they are the favorites in the final, at least for the bookmakers. Hazard almost certainly leaves and wants to do it with a trophy. The transfer embargo may be real in the summer, because Chelsea’s appeal was not accepted. The team played well in recent matches, but Sarri said that in order the season to be successful for Chelsea, they must necessarily take Europa League, as this team must win trophies every season.
Obviously, this London derby in the Europa League final and in Baku, which is not even Europe, has attracted the attention of a large part of the world, because there has long been no final with this kind of teams. However, both teams have many fans around the world. We think at least in regular time, Arsenal will not lose because Emery just knows how to win Europa League – he has done it three times while Sarri has not yet had a trophy in his career. And for Arsenal, the match is twice as important because not only will they win a trophy, but if they win the Europa League, the Gunners will return to the Champions League for the first time in three years, while Chelsea secured third place in England and will play in the groups for sure. Among other things, when we talk about qualities, we think Arsenal is the team that plays better at the moment and seems more relieved. And let’s not forget that 2 years ago Arsenal defeated Chelsea in the FA Cup final by 2-1. Prediction – Draw or Arsenal at 1.68.
