Arsenal can still win Group B heading into their clash with Olympiacos on Tuesday.
The British side is playing some of its worst soccer of late with no wins in their last three premier league matches. Fortunately their UEFA Champions League run has been far more productive as the team is already assured a spot in the Round of 16. They won their first match to Montpelier 2-1 before defeating Olympiacos 3-1. They lost some steam against Schalke 04 when they lost 2-0 and drew 2-2 in their next two matches. Since then, this team has been maddeningly inconsistent but they still managed a 2-0 win over Montpelier. In order to win the group, Arsenal must not only win, but hope for a draw or loss for Schalke against Montpelier. If Arsenal fails to pick up all three points, they clinch a second place finish in the group.
Their task will be difficult with Greek side Olympiacos standing in their way. Olympiacos has already clinched a berth in the Europa League's round of 32 so this match should mean little to them. Of course they will be home and should be motivated to give their fans some cheering to do.
Prediction: This match means more to Arsenal, but one has to question their consistency. Ultimately I see a 2-2 draw.
Start Time: 2:45 PM EST
