Arsenal host Dundalk at the Emirates in the 2nd round in Group B of the Europa League on Thursday,October 29 and the match kicks off at 8pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
Arsenal started their 2020/21 European campaign with an important away win against Rapid Wien in what will probably be one of their toughest fixtures in this group. They are joint-top of the group with Molde who beat Arsenal’s next opponents (1-2) in the first round. As for Dundalk, their opening to their Europa League campaign ended in disappointment following defeat (2-1) to Norwegian side Molde in Tallaght. The current SSE Airtricity League champions are certainly underdogs in Group B and taking any points off of Arsenal in London next will be a highly improbable task.
MATCH ANALYSIS
Arsenal are now very much at home in the Europa League with this their fourth straight season in the competition.The Gunners enter as favourites, but last season represented a big disappointment. After semi-final and final appearances in 2018 and 2019, being knocked out in the Round of 32 by Olympiacos was a significant step in the wrong direction. With a win in Wien in the opening round they have taken maximum points from the most difficult fixture.
David Luiz and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored two goals in five second-half minutes after a Bernd Leno mistake had gifted Austrians the opener, but it was the performance of £45m deadline day signing Partey on his full debut that really stood out. With this win Arsenal have now won their opening group game in each of the past four Europa League campaigns and are huge favourites ahead of their clash with Irish side.
As for Dundalk, in the six previous Europa League group games, Dundalk didn’t lose a game by more than a one-goal margin, and they fell just short again against Molde. The hosts got off to a perfect start with a superb goal from Sean Murray, but Molde came out stronger in the second half and mounted a comeback.There is a disappointment but plenty to play for and to take heart going forward.
In 2016, Stephen Kenny’s Lilywhites bagged four points from their six group games against Zenit St Petersburg, AZ Alkmaar and Maccabi Tel Aviv and rookie boss Giovagnoli is determined to go one better as he jokingly urged at the press-conference ahead of Arsenal game to beat the record and try to get 5 points.
