Arsenal started the group well with 3 victories, but then recorded 2 losses and now needs a victory in this game in order to qualify, without needing to know the outcome of the other game in the group.
Currently Arsenal is second with 9 points, as many as Braga has. FC Shakhtar Donetsk is first with 12 while FK Partizan has 0 points and has scored only 1 goal in 5 games.
If Arsenal wins this game, and Shakhtar loses theirs, then Arsenal will win the group. Any different outcome will guarantee Shakhtar the first spot in the group. Partizan has nothing to play for here but rather hope that will do better than the last two teams who visited Emirates stadium. Shakhtar got blown away with 5:1, while Braga got crushed with 6:0.
In the previous game in Serbia, Partizan was given 2 penalties, both of which where saved. Arsenal has conceded only a goal each game they have played against teams from Belgrade,Serbia in European competitions.

The Gunners have a great attack that does very well at home scoring on the average of 3.7 Goals in the last 7 Champions League games here.
Marouane Chamakh has scored 3 goals already for Arsenal in this competition, as many as Fabregas who will miss the game due to an injury.Chamakh and Van Persie are priced to score first @ 4.33 and to score at anytime 1.66.
Half-Time/Full-Time, Arsenal/Arsenal will raise the odds for a home victory to 1.40 from the miserable 1.07.
I myself would be looking for Over 2.5 Goals bet or even something bigger due to the fact that Arsenal scored 11 goals here in the last 2 games against much stronger opponents than Partizan.
