Arsenal vs Monaco Prediction, Odds and Lineups: Saka in 12/5 shot
Arsenal host Monaco at the Emirates tonight with both teams locked on 10 points in the Champions League table.
The race for automatic qualification to the knockout rounds is starting to heat up, meaning this game could prove to be a real six-pointer.
Read on for our best bets and the confirmed lineups for tonight's clash.
Arsenal vs Monaco Predictions
Denis Zakaria stands out as a strong candidate to be booked in this game. The Monaco midfielder plays a crucial role in breaking up opposition attacks, which often involves committing tactical fouls. His defensive duties, especially against this Arsenal are likely to put him in situations where fouls are necessary to disrupt momentum.
This season, Zakaria has already picked up a couple of yellow cards in Ligue 1, underlining his physical approach to the game.
Arsenal’s midfield and attacking players, such as Martin Ødegaard and Bukayo Saka, excel at drawing fouls with their agility and skill, which could further increase the pressure on Zakaria.
Zakria has also picked up a card in one of his four Champions League games this season. Considering his playing style and the nature of the matchup, betting on Zakaria to be shown a yellow card is a decent bet at 41/20 with BetMGM.

Bukayo Saka has been instrumental in Arsenal's attacking play this season, showcasing exceptional playmaking abilities. In the Premier League, he has provided 10 assists in 14 matches, averaging 0.71 assists per game.
Saka's efficiency in delivering precise crosses and through balls makes him a constant threat in the attacking third. His ability to navigate tight spaces and make decisive passes has been instrumental in Arsenal's offensive strategies. Saka is also an elite set piece taker, which Arsenal have made very good use of this season.
Considering these factors, I am backing Bukayo Saka to provide an assist during tonight's game.
Arsenal vs Monaco Lineups
Mikel Arteta has given Jesus an opportunity to shine ahead of Havertz, while Lewis-Skelly and Merino also start for Arsenal tonight.
