Arsenal’s recent performance
The Gunners only needed the draw against PSV, in Eindhoven, in the previous round to secure the first place in the group with a matchday anticipation and, with that, have the right to advance directly to the round of 16 avoiding a clash with the ‘ relegated’ from the Champions League in the round of 16. However, they ended up being beaten 2-0.
Thus, Arsenal will have a second chance against Zurich. The result in Holland, however, left a consequence. A draw is no longer enough. A win is needed to secure first place. A draw would allow PSV to equal the English team’s score. In this case, the Dutch would end up having an advantage in the direct confrontation, which is the first tiebreaker. In the first leg in London, the Gunners won only 1-0.
On Sunday, October 30, against Nottingham Forest, in a duel for the fourteenth round of the 2022/2023 version of the Premier League, they showed much greater firepower. They scored 5-0. In the duel, in which they had control of the ball for 69% of the time, they created 24 opportunities for submission, ten of which were on target. They thus advanced to 31 points (ten wins, one draw and one defeat). They maintained their lead in the Premier League and a two-point advantage over Manchester City, in second place.
Zurich’s current form
In the penultimate round of the Europa League group stage, Zurich interrupted a win streak that reached 13 matches. Started on August 28, the negative series featured encounters from the continental tournament, with its early elimination from the Swiss Cup and, of course, the disastrous campaign it makes in the Superliga, the main division of the Swiss Championship, in which it was champion last season. and now lives with the threat of relegation. There were eight defeats and five draws.
The final point of the agony was placed with the 2 to 1 scored, at home, in Bodo / Glimt. A result that allowed Zurich to continue dreaming of keeping a continental tournament on their agenda in the second half of the season. To reach third place in the bracket and the right to be relocated to the European Conference League, they need to beat Arsenal and hope that Bodo/Glimt doesn’t beat PSV, in a game that will be held on Norwegian soil at the same time.
However, this is certainly not the biggest concern of Zurich, which on Sunday, October 30, beat Sion, away from home, by 1-0, in a match for the fourteenth round of the 2022/2023 version of the Swiss Championship. Okita’s goal eight minutes into the first half. It thus advanced to nine points (one win, six draws and seven defeats). It remains, however, sunk in the tenth – last – position of the leaderboard. Six points below Winterthur, ninth-placed and first team out of the relegation zone.
Arsenal vs Zurich final prediction:
Although Arsenal lost to PSV Eindhoven in the latest European game, the team has locked in the promotion spot, and in the last round of the league, the team beat Nottingham, and the morale has also been improved. On the other hand, Zurich defeated Sion 1-0 in the last game, and in the latest Europa, the team defeated Bode Shining 2-1, and they have won two consecutive victories in all competitions, but Zurich’s strength is far from Arsenal. Field should not be overestimated, prediction: Arsenal win.
