Champions League football betting - Arsenal vs Olympiakos

Arsenal host Greek Champions Olympiakos tonight in the Champions League. The home side have won their last four games in all competitions but the away side are on an even better run of six wins in a row. Arsenal struggled past Standard Liege 3-2 in their last Champions league game, while Olympiakos beat AZ 1-0 at home.

The Gunners go into the game as favourites at 2/7 with Olympiakos at 12/1. The draw is 9/2, but neither side have drawn a game this season.

The favourite scoreline is 2-0 Arsenal at 11/2 with 1-0 at 6/1 and 3-0 at 8/1. A 0-0 draw is 18/1 and 1-1 at 12/1. A large upset of 1-0 to Olympiakos is priced at 30/1, with 2-0 as big as 125/1.

Dutch forward Robin van Persie is favourite to open  the scoring at 4/1 ahead of his Croatian strike partner Eduardo at 9/2. Russian playmaker Arshavin is 11/2 and Nicklas Bendtner is at 6/1. Englishman Matt Derbyshire, on loan from Blackburn, is the Greek sides` best hope of scoring the first goal at 14/1.

Arsenal to lead at half-time and full-time is priced at 4/6, with draw/Arsenal is at 7/2. The Gunners to come back and win after being behind at half-time, as in their last European game, is 33/1. A draw/Olympiakos, as happened against AZ, is 28/1.

Olympiakos have never faced Arsenal before but both teams are in good individual form. Arsenal are definitely stronger on paper but looked shaky at Fulham on Saturday and if Olympiakos can catch them on such an off-day then they could perhaps cause an upset.
