French Resistance

Arsenal may be desperate to go out all guns blazing on Tuesday night, but that attacking intent is as likely to backfire as it is to succeed. Monaco are available at a best price of 12/5 (Bet365) to win on the night and qualify in style - it’s too big to ignore.

Of teams who have played more than two Champions League matches, the French club have the second best home win percentage (75%) in the history of the competition, only just behind Real Madrid (76%). In the group stages they defeated Zenit 2-0 and Leverkusen 1-0 at Stade-Louis II.

Leonardo Jardim’s boys have only conceded twice in the whole seven-game campaign and they will set up to counter-attack in the same devastating way they achieved a 3-1 triumph at the Emirates three weeks ago.
