Predicted Result: Angers 2 – 2 Arsenal

Match Preview: The hosts are most probably to go with a 4-3-3 formation in this clash. Veteran keeper Butelle should be the chosen gloves man with Thomas, Manceau, Pavlovic and Nouri as the back 4 in front of this 36 years old French. The expected midfield trio are Santamaria, Mangani and Jeff. Fulgini and Capelle should be the key at the front.

Unai Emery may select the 4-2-3-1 formation in this encounter. Emiliano Martinez might get a go in between the sticks. Sokratis will be their main man at the back. But the attack is expected to be deadly as it might just be consisted of Aubameyang, Ozil, Mkhitaryan and Lacazette. But with so many matches in shorter time and the main clashes of the Premiere League awaiting, the Stars are not going to play the whole match for sure. They would probably be substituted at one point of this game.

My prediction for this match is a 2-2 draw.
