WE move from the Champions League to the Europa League and it's a tournament Arsenal need to win to join the big guns next season.
Arsene Wenger's side were mightily impressive in the previous round as they beat an on-form Milan outfit home and away.
Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is cup-tied for the quarter-final first leg at home to CSKA Moscow but they'll be hoping from more from Alexandre Lacazette who netted his first goal in two months against Stoke on Sunday.
CSKA have an ageing defence the Gunners will be hoping to get at but they did ever so well to be respected having won 3-2 at Lyon after losing at home.
They parachuted into the EL after a failed CL campaign that saw them lose twice to Man United.
However, they scored in all five of their Champions League away games and having hit three in France will fancy their chances of netting. Both to score looks on at 23-20 with Black Type.
Arsenal are just 7-20 at Betway to win so consider Arsenal and both to score at 12-5 with BetStars.
For a goal I fancy a value bet on Mesut Ozil at 5-2 with bet365.
There should also be goals when Lazio entertain a Red Bull Salzburg side unbeaten in 35 games.
Lazio's only win in five was a crushing 6-2 success and they face a side who drew 2-2 at Real Sociedad and won 2-1 at Borussia Dortmund in the group stage.
Marco Rose plays attacking football and it's also winning football with their last defeat coming in August.
The Italians look a little short at 4-5 with Marathonbet while the Austrians will tempt some at 4-1 with William Hill but I'm on goals.
RB Leipzig v Marseille could be the tie of the round. The Germans are into the last eight of a European tournament for the first time having been formed in 2009.
They recently beat Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga for the first time and star turns Naby Keita and Timo Werner have been in sparkling form.
Marseille are enjoying a good season and are on course for a return to the Champions League. Dmitri Payet has been an inspired signing but while they could score I fancy the home side take a lead to France.
Leipzig are a best 10-13 Winner but btts looks more attractive at 13-17 with Unibet.
Trophy favourites Atletico Madrid are just 1-3 to beat Sporting at home and I'm on Antoine Griezmann to score first at 10-3 with Marathonbet.
