Inconsistency has been a big problem for Arsenal this season, Mikel Arteta’s men often following a good result with a poor one, and Saturday’s 1-1 draw away at Burnley highlights that point perfectly.
Arsenal arrived at Turf Moor on the back of an impressive 3-1 victory over Leicester the previous week, and all looked to be going to plan after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang put the Gunners a goal to the good inside six minutes.
Again, though, Arsenal were architects of their own downfall, an ill-advised square pass across his own box from Granit Xhaka ricocheting off Chris Wood to draw the home side level.
That was the eighth time in their past 14 Premier League away matches that Arsenal have failed to win, losing six of those, and that does not include the first-leg tie away at Benfica in the last round of this competition.
Arsenal did get the job done at home to the Portuguese side in the end, but even that was touch and go for a long time, the Gunners coming from 2-1 down to eventually win the match 3-2.
Arsenal will have plenty to say when these two sides meet in North London next week, but in Greece it is Olympiakos who are the team to beat, so a price of 16/5 about an OLYMPIAKOS WIN makes plenty of appeal.
Score prediction: Olympiakos 1-0 Arsenal ()
