Benfica vs Arsenal Prediction 18 February 2021

The program of the round of 16 of the Europa League will give us an interesting confrontation between Benfica and Arsenal.

After nineteen rounds of the Primeira Liga, Benfica are in a low for themselves fourth position, and their gap from the leader is thirteen points already. But in the fall, the Eagles were in good shape, as evidenced by their second place in the Europa League group with Rangers, Standard and Lech.

Arsenal scored the maximum possible 18 points in encounters with Molde, Rapid and Dundalk, which is in incredible contrast to their performance in the Premier League. Despite their recent spectacular 4:2 victory over Leeds, the Gunners are only tenth with a phantom chance of making it to European competition next year.

Both teams are not in their best shape right now, but Arsenal's emphasis on decent performance in the UEL is sure to play a key role in this match. We believe that guests can at least avoid defeat.
