Arsenal were looking like a spent force at the start of the season, but positive results over the last month have brought Arsene Wenger’s men right back into contention. A thrilling 5-3 victory over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday exemplified the side’s resolve, as they overcame their London rivals. Robin van Persie scored a hat-trick in the win, and is proving himself to be one of the best strikers in Europe, as a partnership with new signing Gervinho starts to blossom. Aaron Ramsey scored a late winner for The Gunners in France in the first leg, and is proving to be more than a match for departed Cesc Fabregas. Bwin gives the home side the favourite tags and odds of 1.60 to win.
Marseille felt aggrieved to have lost the first game against Arsenal at the Stade Velodrome, with an injury time goal sealing a 1-0 defeat. The Ligue 1 outfit still are right in the mix in Group F, and have won their other two games in the tournament to see them sit in second place. Didier Deschamps men have not had the best domestic campaign so far this season, and currently sit in 9th place in the standings. They did beat Dijon 3-2 at the weekend however, which will give them confidence going into this clash. Bwin gives odds of 5.75 for an away win.
Arsenal go into the game as favourites and will be keen to continue their excellent run of form. My Champions League football betting tip is a 1-0 win to Arsenal, which Bwin puts at odds of 6.75.
