Double chance : draw or Arsenal

Napoli is heading into this Champions League match after a mixed end to their season. They had some strong away wins but also suffered two heavy defeats in their last five games, including a very poor 4-0 loss and a narrow defeat in their most recent match. Their form is inconsistent, especially when they have to defend.

Arsenal's start to their new season has been rocky. They have already lost two of their first three league games, showing they are struggling to find their footing. Their results have been tight, with a close win, a draw, and two narrow losses, meaning their games are usually low-scoring and tense. Since there is no history between these two teams, this looks like a very close contest. Given that Arsenal’s away games are typically tight and Napoli’s form is up and down, a draw seems like the most likely result here.
