On Wednesday night, Arsenal will travel to Catalonia to face a struggling Girona. They will be trying to make another statement in the Champions League.

Previous Matches and Head-to-head

To begin with the hosts, Girona may have earned a legendary Champions League ticket last season for finishing third among Spain's elite, but Michel's squad has struggled openly in Europe. Last week, the Catalonian team fell 1-0 on the road against AC Milan, one of the biggest names in Italian football. They have now lost six of their seven Champions League matches this season.

Already seeing their play-off hopes blown to smithereens, Girona have displayed severalsistent problems. As a result of last weekend's lackluster performance in a 2-1 loss to Rayo Vallecano, Wednesday's hosts have now lost all three of their meetings in all competitions. It is worth noting that in their past four visits to the Estadi Montilivi, Michel's dejected team has lost three times.

While the Gunners' hopes of winning the Premier League have taken a serious hit, the away team has been on fire lately. With last weekend's 1-0 away win against relegation-scrappers Wolves, Mikel Arteta's squad now has 10 points from four games in all competitions.

Having recently stormed to a straightforward 3-0 victory against Dinamo Zagreb in the Champions League competition, the Gunners will seek another European marker in this match.

Arsenal have not lost a game away from North London since returning from the international break in November, and they have recorded back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since mid-December. On Wednesday night, Arteta's squad will go to Catalonia with a 16–point total from seven Champions League encounters this season.

Girona x Arsenal Team News

Former Manchester United defender Daley Blind will not be playing here after injuring a muscle in the first half of last weekend's away match against Rayo Vallecano. Miguel Gutierrez, a former Real Madrid player, is questionable to play on Wednesday due to an ankle injury.

Arnaut Danjuma will be vying for a starting role despite having scored only once since joining on loan from Villarreal for the season. Paulo Gazzaniga, a former Tottenham goalkeeper, will start in goal for Catalonia.

Arsenal will miss its offensive talisman, Bukayo Saka, for Wednesday night's match since he had hamstring surgery last month. The 18-year-old sensation Myles Lewis-Skelly is free to start here despite the previous weekend's questionable red card against the Wolves.

Striker Gabriel Jesus, who had previously played for Manchester City, will miss the rest of the season after sustaining a long-term knee injury in a match earlier this month against Manchester United. Playing as a false nine would be the best option for German international Kai Havertz, who has scored four goals in the Champions League this season.

Our Predictions

Arsenal win & Under 4.5 goals @ 2.05 on Sky247.ng

After last week's straightforward 3-0 win over Dinamo Zagreb, Arsenal will seek to make another statement in the Champions League here. Since returning from the international break in November, the Gunners have not lost away from north London, so they should be sniffing a good chance here. Girona has been in the middle of a public European crisis this season, losing six of their seven Champions League matches. Therefore, Arteta's team is legitimately seen as a top contender.
