This week, we will have the emotions of a new day of matches in the UEFA Champions League, with all the teams leaving their skin on the field to score points and climb in the standings.
Let’s remember that only the top eight qualify directly to the Round of 16, so the last three dates of this Group Stage will be life or death for many. However, right now, we can say that there is little chance that Liverpool, FC Barcelona, Inter Milan, Borussia Dortmund, and even Atalanta will not qualify directly. Still, with nine points still to play for, anything can happen.
Now, on this sixth matchday of the Group Stage, we will have the match between Arsenal and Monaco.

Why bet on Arsenal?
Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal is performing well in the Premier League and EFL Cup, currently in third place and advancing in both competitions. They have shown consistency in their performances, particularly at home, where they are undefeated with eight wins and two draws. Their solid defense has only conceded two goals in the Champions League, making them strong contenders.
However, a recent 1-1 draw with Fulham in the Premier League has left them behind leaders Liverpool by six points (could have been nine) and two points behind Chelsea in third place.
In this Champions League, Arsenal is seventh in the table with ten points, as is Monaco, so this match is key to both teams’ aspirations to stay in the top eight of the standings. The Gunners are coming from a stupendous away win over Sporting with a score of 5-1.
Why bet on Monaco?
Monaco, coached by Adi Hütter, is a high-scoring team in the Champions League, averaging over two goals per game. However, recent inconsistencies with two defeats in their last three games, have shown their busy schedule has taken its toll on the team.
In its last five continental matches, Le Rocher has been part of high-scoring clashes, with over 2.5 goals in four of them. However, their recent defeats have cast doubt on their ability to remain competitive in the tournament.
Domestically, Monaco is targeting success in Ligue 1, challenging PSG and Olympique Marseille for the title. A convincing win over Toulouse in their recent French league match has boosted their confidence ahead of their clash with the Gunners.
In this Champions League, Monaco needs to bounce back from their 2-3 loss to Benfica in their most recent match.
