Game Prediction
On Wednesday, football will be presented at the top level, in the Champions League. Arsenal London and Lens are among the participants there. Will the British be able to cope with a traditionally inconvenient opponent this time? The announcement and the prediction for the match on November 29, 2023 are available for the readers of the website.
Arsenal can play a draw to secure the play-offs
The last time “the Gunners” qualified for the Champions League was under the leadership of Wenger. Both “late” Arsen and his successors could not achieve a breakthrough in the top 4 of the Premier League. It happened a season ago, and one can complain about how the team was blown away in the fight for the title against Manchester City, but, to be honest, 2nd place was an exceeding of any expectations. This time, Zinchenko and the company are trying to gain a foothold in the group of the leaders, and they have completed the starting third of the Premier League well. Still, it is clear as a day that the priority, for which 100 million was spent on Rice and other newcomers were bought, was the long-awaited Champions League. The team has already won 3 times there... And the only misfire happened right on the voyage to France.
Lens is unlikely to repeat the result of the previous year
Speaking about 2022/2023 in France, “the Blood and Gold” achieved the result, which is similar to Arsenal in the Premier League: the team became the vice-champion there. At the same time, it had been “hanging around” for a long time in the Ligue 2 until 2020. Nowadays, Franck Haise and his wards are not as convincing as they were last season, and their start was completely unsuccessful. If in the Ligue 1 it is still possible to more or less correct the situation, then at the European arena, where they returned after a break of a quarter of a century, the sensational 2-1 score in the home battle against the English remains the only such success. The away confrontation with Sevilla brought a 1-1 draw, the home struggle with PSV gave an opportunity to share the points (with the same score), but the away game with Dutch was minimally lost – 0-1.
Previous head-to-head matches
The opponents first crossed the “paths” 25 years ago, in 1998 – and the French had a win and a draw, thanks to which the team and Dynamo Kyiv reached the play-offs. Still, the revenge happened quickly, literally in the next season. That was in the UEFA Cup, where “the Gunners” were stronger in the semi-finals.
