Arsenal - Villarreal: Tips, prognosis and odds 06.05.2021 - EUROPE: Europa League - Play Offs
After just half an hour, Villarreal were 2-0 up on the Spanish east coast last week. When Dani Ceballos flew off, everything looked as if the yellow submarine was heading for its first European final. But then Nicolas Pépé scored the important goal that left everything open in the second leg. A 1-0 victory is enough for the Londoners to reach the final.

Head to head: 2 - 2 - 1
The two teams have faced each other a total of five times and the 2-1 win over the Gunners last Thursday was the Spaniards' first ever victory. Arsenal won both home games in London, each of which was a knockout round of the Champions League (2005/06 in the semifinals and 2008/09 in the quarterfinals) without conceding a goal.

Arsenal - stats & current form
For Arsenal, the Europa League is the only way to somehow bring a completely messed up season to a good end. In Mikel Arteta's second year in office, after the sobering eighth place in the preseason, it should actually go back to the top four of the Premier League this year.

Four game days before the end of the season, however, the Gunners occupy a disappointing ninth place in the table and, according to the current status, would have missed the Europa League again, which last summer only went through the overall victory in the FA Cup.

16 wins in the last 24 Europa League home games
All the more, Arsenal now need the overall victory in the Europa League, with which the Londoners would go into the group stage of the Champions League. If the club from north London missed this coup, a year without international competition could mean a major upheaval.

Accordingly, the Arteta-Elf now has to play for victory in order to survive a knockout round for the fifth time in the 15th attempt, in which the first leg was lost away. At least the international home record is impressive. Of the last 24 home games in the Europa League, the Gunners have won 16 games (four draws and four defeats).

A total of five home games in a row without a win
The Londoners prefer to go into the second leg. The bookmaker Bwin, tested by the betting base, offers odds of 1.90 at Arsenal against Villarreal for the home win of Mikel Arteta's team, which could move into the Europa League final for the second time in three years.

Overall, however, the current home momentum doesn't exactly speak for the Gunners. In the Premier League none of the last three home games could be won and in the previous rounds of the Europa League the Londoners neither managed a home win against Olympiacos Piraeus (0: 1) nor against Slavia Prague (1: 1). So there are currently five home games in a row without a win.

Villarreal - statistics & current form
Villarreal is currently in the semifinals of a UEFA competition for the fifth time in the club's history. In the Europa League this was the end of the line in the 2003/04, 2010/11 and 2015/16 seasons. Added to this is the semifinals of the Champions League 2005/06, in which today's opponent Arsenal of all things finished the course of the yellow submarine (Spanish: "El Submarino Amarillo").
Free soccer picks
Now there should be a final in the fifth attempt for the first time, for which at least coach Unai Emery, who also coached the Gunners in 2018/19, would be the almost perfect man. The 49-year-old won the Europa League three times in a row with Sevilla.
