Fenerbache v Arsenal Betting Tips, Prediction and Match Preview

Football betting tips for when Arsenal travel to Fenerbache on Wednesday in the Champions League qualification first round match.

Arsenal got off to the worst possible start to the new Premier League season with a 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa and the fans are already on Arsene Wenger’s back. Anything but Champions League qualification will be a disaster for the Gunners but the bookies make them favourites to qualify at a best price 4/11 (Bet365).

Fenerbache has a similarly bad start to their domestic season, losing the Turkish Super Cup in extra time to Galatasaray before defeat in their opening match of the season against Konyaspor at the weekend.

Arsenal’s injury worries took another blow on Saturday as Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain with a serious looking knee injury and Ramsay and Walcott were forced to play the full 90 minutes despite both carrying knocks. Add to that an injury Arteta that could keep him out for six weeks and Arsenal are struggling.

With this crisis in mind there is reason to believe the bookies have this match priced wrong, making Arsenal favourites at best odds of 13/8 (William Hill), the draw is 12/5 (Sky Bet) and Fenerbache are 9/5 with Bet365.

Fenerbache will certainly fancy their chances on Wednesday and with the uncertainty about their progression regardless of the result (due to on-going match fixing allegations) unsure; they could take on a siege mentality here and go all out for the win. This won’t be music to Wenger’s ears but it does give us the chance to bet on Fenerbache to score two or more goals at 6/4 with Coral. If we could back Szczesny to be at fault for at least a goal, we would!

The Turks are apparently weak in defence so Arsenal should be expected to get a crucial away goal or two and the most likely scorer could be Theo Walcott (12/5 Sky Bet), especially if Fenerbache’s right back fails his fitness test. They have no strong replacement and could leave the team unbalanced, we are swerving backing Oliver Giroud because Bruno Alves will be keeping close tabs on him.

Arsenal have a fantastic record at this stage of the Champions League but they could be left with work to do back in London. If you insist on backing a winner of the match, the value Is with the Turkish outfit.
