The first of our top April 11 Europa League betting tips and predictions is for Arsenal v Napoli. It’s the first leg of the Europa League quarter-finals on Thursday 11 April with the all-important return played to a conclusion a week later. Arsenal enjoys home advantage when welcoming Napoli to London and the locals will be eager to make it count, collecting a win they can protect in Italy. The Gunners have eased their way through this competition so far and there’s a feeling they have yet to hit top gear as we speed towards the latter stages. Winning the Europa League may just be their best chance of ensuring a return to Champions League football next season.
The locals were beaten 3-1 by Rennes in France in the last round and looked out on their ear but bounced back to beat the Ligue 1 side 3-0 at this venue in the return and that sent them into the quarters thanks to a 4-3 aggregate win. It was closer than fans would’ve liked from their team, but they got the desired result and kept the dream alive. Another win to nil will put them in a fantastic position and you can bet on Arsenal in the match winner market at 29/20, top price with Bet365. That’s sure to feature in a fair share of accumulators on the night.
Napoli can think themselves lucky to still be in the running to win the Europa League after suffering a 3-1 beating at the hands of a very impressive Red Bull Salzburg side last time out, an opponent who hadn’t put a foot wrong in this tournament. Napoli was gifted home advantage in the first leg and that made all the difference, winning 3-0 to give themselves an advantage their opponents just couldn’t cover. 3-0 at home, 1-3 away, they snuck through with a slender advantage, but they did score away from home and that goal made all the difference.
Milik broke the deadlock in the Round of 16 2nd leg when hitting the net inside 14 minutes to put his side 4-0 up on aggregate and it looked like Napoli would then go on to inflict another heavy defeat on their opponents, but Red Bull wasn’t in the mood to simply roll over and play dead, especially in front of their own fans. They rallied to score three goals, Dabbur, Gulbrandsen and Leitgeb on the scoresheet, but the away goal meant they were never close to going through. Salzburg fell on their sword, Napoli learned they must tighten things up at the back. The away win is 2/1 at 888sport, a draw priced 5/2 by Bet365.
