So where do they stand? They’re in good hands courtesy of David Neres who is going to be lethal in this league.īut good things come to those who wait. They also lost Everton to Flamengo – and certainly not their flamingo to Everton, as well as Jota to Celtic. I hate the idea that any side are gleefully puppeteered by any single player but in this case, Benfica’s attacking patters kind of were. The thing about Darwin Nunez is that he didn’t just score goals – he created them for himself as well. 8:15pm: Benfica v Arouca – Under 2.5 Goals They’ve only bettered that once in a 38-game season.

He’ll take time to adapt to central midfield in their 2-3-5 transition and it will cause them teething problems early. Oleksandr ZInchenko will be a genuinely brilliant player for them – but it’ll take time coming from Pep’s setup where every player is drilled on how he does things to a mish-mash Arsenal unit that sometimes look directionless.

I think that’s going to mean a press higher from strikers to force the ball out wide so the switch isn’t on all the time. Especially as Robert Lewandowski was best served by players retaining their advanced positions.īut now they can go deeper with Sadio Mane having the pace to go in behind if teams squeeze. They get really high and they stop the central midfielders from dropping too deep to collect the ball. 7:30pm: Eintracht Frankfurt v Bayern Munich – Half-Time Drawīayern play out through their centre halves. *An accumulator with these bets pays at approximately 19/1 with Paddy Power.
