Michael Owen makes Valenica vs Arsenal prediction

Michael Owen has predicted Arsenal vs Valencia match as the Gunners bid to reach the Europa final.Unai Emery's side take a 3-1 lead into their semi-final, second-leg clash against Valencia after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's late strike at the Emirates gave them breathing space. He told Betvictor : "Arsenal have progressed from all 27 European ties in which they have held a two-goal lead from the 1st leg, but I fear for the Gunners in the Mestalla and believe that the away goal score by Valencia at the Emirates may prove crucial. "The Gunners have lost their last four away games in European competition in Spain and the hosts are a formidable outfit on home soil – although they did lose their 20-game unbeaten home record to Eibar in their last home game. "Gunners boss Unai Emery has a proud record in the competition winning his last 18 Europa League ties, but Arsenal remain vulnerable defensively and I think the hosts will do enough to reach Baku in front of their fanatical home supporters." Emery will have almost a full squad to pick from to face the Spaniards side with only long-term injuries ruling out Rob Holding, Danny Welbeck, Denis Suarez and Aaron Ramsey from travelling.
