Things are hotting up in the Champions League's Group F. Three teams: Arsenal, Dortmund, and Napoli all have a chance to go through on Wednesday night. The problem is, only two of them can.
If Arsenal beat Napoli, they will be through. Draw against them and they will go through as well. But if they lose to Napoli and Dortmund beat Marseille (who haven't beaten anybody!) then Arsenal will find themselves out of the Champions League (but probably in the Europa League. European football, how can you not love its intricacies?)
Put simply Arsenal fans: you need at least a point to guarantee your place. No pressure then!
Italians might give Arsenal a scare
Arsenal have been very good so far this year. That is a fact. But Napoli are a good team coached by a good manager, and with home advantage, we fancy they could get a point off Arsenal. They will have to go for it as well, knowing only a win will help them progress.
We fancy a draw, and that is 13/5 with BetVictor at the minute but odds are shortening. The home win is 27/20 with Coral, while the Arsenal win is best-priced at 2/1 with Ladbrokes.
Goals galore?
It may be a draw, and if it is we fancy it to be a high scoring one. Which is handy as SkyBet have the over 3.5 goals at 6/4 for this game which is well worth taking a look at.
For specifics, we'd recommend the 2-2 draw which is a massive 12/1 with William Hill.
Hot-shots heaven in end-to-end game
It will be a tense affair, but Arsene Wenger is never one to lie back and absorb pressure. That should mean the forwards and midfield see plenty of the ball, and we fancy that handsome son of a gun Olivier Giroud to bag a goal against Benitez' side. He is 9/4 with Stan James for Anytime Goalscorer on Wednesday night
We also like the look of Gonzalo Higuain for Anytime Goalscorer as well. The Argentinian is slightly shorter-odds than Giroud, probably given Napoli's home advantage. You can find Higuain at 7/4 with Betfred.
