Europa League
Arsenal vs. PSV Eindhoven
- When: Thursday, Oct. 20, 2022
- Soccer Odds: Arsenal -217 // PSV Eindhoven +533
Both teams are playing lights out. Arsenal is on a 5-match winning streak. Eindhoven has won 4 straight. No doubt, Arsenal should win this. Not only does this happen on Arsenal’s pitch, but the Gunners are in first place in the Premier League. So Arsenal is the better squad overall.
The Gunners, though, may not be fired up to win Europa League matches when the chance of taking a Premier title is possible. Eindhoven could catch an Arsenal side that isn’t all in to win the match.
Soccer Betting Pick: PSV Eindhoven
La Liga
