The Emirates Stadium is the stage for this game as Arsenal welcome Olympiacos for the return leg of their last 16 tie. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

The Gunners left Greece with a comfortable 3-1 lead to boost their chances of qualification. Odegaard has initially put them in front at half time but his goal was cancelled out by El Arabi just 13 minutes into the second half. With two goals in the final 11 minutes from Elneny and Gabriel, Arteta and his boys celebrated a very important victory.

The Gunners careful not to make similar mistakes

Arsenal were in a similar situation last season, beating Olympiacos in the first leg. However, they went on to lose in extra time of the second leg with the Greek outfit progressing. It is then left to see how this game pans out with Olympiacos most likely have the same thing in mind.

The Gunners followed up their Europa League victory with a brilliant display in the North London derby at home to Spurs. Lamela put the visitors in with a cheeky rabona finish into the bottom corner. Arsenal drew level via Odegaard for his second goal on as many games and then completed the comeback with Lacazette converting a penalty in the second half. Olympiacos, on the other hand, got back to winning ways in the Greece Super League with a 3-1 victory against AE Larisa. Can that manage this exact same scoreline to take the game to extra time just like they did last season?

Arsenal have blown hot and cold this season but they were certainly hot in the first leg against the Greek opponents and in the North London derby on Sunday. A 3-1 first keg win seems like a pretty comfortable one and given the Gunners recent form, we don’t see the Greek champions staging a comeback just like they did last season.
