There's no way Arsenal aren't qualifying. Arsene Wenger takes the fourth place trophy far too seriously to let the subsequent rewards slip away, and has consistently steered his side through their annual play-off against a backdrop of annual sold-their-best-players, still-need-replacements crises.
This season though, for the first time in years they've actually begun in better shape than they finished the last. Yep, a 17th consecutive group stage appearance is nailed on. So much so that Besiktas are a massive 4/1 to even get a first leg win on their own turf tonight. Obviously don't go there, but the draw
might be worth a little look at 11/4. 8/11 on the Gunners'll do though, and if you take it with a -1 handicap you've got yourself a 15/8 shot. Can't say fairer than that.
In the scorers it's absolutely got to be Aaron Ramsey. 15/8 any time or, if you fancy it, 8/1 to get two or more. Demba Ba looks the most likely to net a consolation for the Turks so have a think about him at 5/2 any time.
Lastly, 9/4 on 3.5+ match goals. Generous.
Prediction: 1-3 (14/1)
