Match Preview
| Valencia have a two-goal deficit to overcome after their 3-1 first-leg defeat, but a 6-2 thumping of Huesca at the weekend indicates their confidence in front of goal. They can also take heart from the fact that four of their six La Liga home wins this season have been achieved with a -1 handicap. |
| Furthermore, the hosts are on an eight-game Europa League (EL) winning run at home, netting an impressive 2.75 goals on average per match, whilst conceding just 0.38 on average. Leading at half-time in four of their last five European home games, Valencia will be hunting another solid start here. |
| Arsenal travel to Spain after losing their last two Premier League away matches, conceding three goals in each. However, they have conceded multiple goals just once on the road this EL campaign, and have kept a clean sheet in all four of their tournament away victories this term (W4, L2). |
| The ‘Gunners’ were leading at half-time in three of those four wins, and considering Arsenal have progressed in 17 of their previous 19 UEFA two-legged ties where they won a home first leg, another strong first-half performance here would take Arsenal a step closer to a historic first EL title. |
| Players to watch: Santi Mina scored a brace at the weekend – he’s netted in six competitive games for Valencia this season, scoring a double each time. |
| Arsenal’s Alexandre Lacazette netted a first-half brace in the first leg – all four of his EL goals this term have been scored before the break. |
| Stat attack: Seven of Valencia’s last ten competitive home games featured under 2.5 goals. Five featured under 1.5. |
| Both teams have scored in just two of Arsenal’s last 12 EL away games. |
| Arsenal boss Unai Emery holds the edge across his 14 managerial H2H encounters with Valencia coach Marcelino (W8, D1, L5). |
