Arsenal drifting 2.16 out to 2.36 ???

a player unavailable?

They are stunning odds, Monthpelliar have been woeful this season and without Giroud they will be in a relegation battle in Ligue 1.

Arsenal on fire and defensively solid, 2.36 is a must.

Also i'm trying Arsenal to nil and -1. have a good feeling

It does look a good price given the contrast in form but on the other hand Arsenal have lost 8 of their 12 Champions League away games.  I think I might avoid this one unless they drift further.

They've never lost away in France though I believe.

And they are group stage specialists as well, cant see anything other than 0-2 or 0-3.

They've only played once in France in the last 10 years, that 0-1 win in Marseille last year.

unders and maybe no goalscorer

I really fancy them. I thought 2.16 was a gift and they would maybe go odds on before ko!!!

Those odds are generous - put it this way, I cant see Arsenal losing the game.

7/5 with you win seems a very good price.

Remember Arsenal play Man City on Sunday. Will Wenger's team line-up reflect this?

yes, I think Diaby will be held back given that we can expect one game a month from him

The expected team is as follows:

Mannone
Jenk Merte Verm Gibbs
Arteta Coq Carzola
Gerv Giroud Podolski

odds suggest Walcott starting

i still don't know why people put Coquelin in thier line ups.

? as in you don't think he'll start or you don't think he's good?

i can see koscielny playing, mannone, walcott, and ramsey starting

Arsenal away in the group stage is rarely good value; record is 5-4-6 in the last five seasons, with most of the wins against poor sides (they have gone 1-1-5 in the KO stage with the last win in Milan in 2008).  They have already played out two 0-0 draws against Sunderland and Stoke this season.  Montpellier haven't started well with a 1-1 and 0-1 at home, but last season they were 16-2-1 in the league.  You would expect Arsenal to win 5-0 at the Emirates on current form, but their muted away performances in this comp would make them an unattractive bet

I fancy a draw in this one.

I'm not sure how much we can put into the away form of Arsenal this season sugarfoot, Sunderland played like a classic MON team, set out to frustrate and not remotely interested in winning - Arsenal really ought to have seen them off comfortably. Stoke also seem to be a team who the top clubs don't enjoy going to...you do make a good point about Arsenals record away in Europe but I can't help but feel like this Arsenal team have improved rather significantly this season. I'll have a small bet on Arsenal.

2.48 now

Wenger has to watch the game from the stands. Plus keeper is an accident waiting to be happen. Champions League game with a French team at home always seem to be really dull and low-scoring. Arsenal would be happy with a point. I reckon 0-0 or 1-1.

Arsenal a good bet imo.

I should add the reason I think that, is that I am good mates with two Montpelier season ticket holders who say they look a shadow of the team of last season and have been very poor thus far. They are fearing the worst tonight.

Montpelier have no experience at this level.
French teams have a shocking record against English sides.
Montpelier look weaker than last season and are in poor form.
Arsenal look more solid than last season.


With all of the above considered, I can't have Montpelier here, and they are
are a shocking price.

1-1

game lasts 90 mins

Everyone's a winner on betfair
