Arsenal host Lille looking to make it two from two

What the table shows

Arsenal's opening win puts them on three points, though fifteen other clubs also took maximum points from their first fixture. A win on Tuesday would lift them to six points from two matches; a draw would mean four from two. Lille lost their opener and need points quickly, victory here would bring them level with Arsenal's current total of three, while another defeat leaves them on zero from two.

The market-implied probability has Arsenal winning at seventy-three per cent, with the draw at seventeen per cent and a Lille victory at under ten. That reflects both home advantage and the gap in recent form: Arsenal won four of their last five matches before losing to Brighton, while Lille took two wins, a draw and two defeats from their last five.

Recent run

Arsenal's four-match winning streak included victories over Chelsea, Napoli, Sunderland and Ipswich before the Brighton reverse. Lille's form has been patchier, they drew with Paris Saint-Germain, beat Toulouse and Troyes, but lost to Bétis and Nice either side of that Troyes win. Arsenal survive Sunderland to stay perfect was the most recent win in that sequence before the slip at the Amex.
