Home advantage for the 'Gunners'

Arsenal suffered a 3-1 loss to Rennes in France, however, they had clearly the upper hand in the second leg and got a comfortable 2-0 win to qualify gor the quarter-finals.This was the second time on a row that they qualified after a defeat in the first leg on the road. That was happened vs BATE in the previous round. The 'Gunners' are undoubtedly based on their home so far and they will try to do it again tonight. Defenders Holding and Bellerin, as well as attacker Welbeck, won't be available tonight due to injuries  while doubtful is Xhaka.

Napoli registered a 4-3 win on aggregate vs Salzburg in the previous round. In their game on the road, they suffered a 3-1 loss in Austria, actually the home missed chances to score even more. Napoli's performance isn't as impressive as it was in the first half of the season, however, in the Italian Serie A they have almost secured the 2nd place. Defender Albiol and midfielder Diawara are injured. Karnezis could play between the sticks, since first choice goalkeeper Ospina isn't 100% fit yet.

Arsenal will try to get a qualifying lead by taking advantage of their home vs Napoli who are under performing lately. In my point of view, this trend won't change tonight. Arsenal to win is the value bet in this one.
