Online betting odds for Arsenal vs. AZ Alkmaar
4th November, 2009
Tonight sees Arsenal entertain AZ Alkmaar in the Champions League knock out stage tonight and it looks as though after 11 consecutive wins, Arsenal will lead themselves to yet another win.
Arsene Wenger has spent the last couple of days having to defend him and his team as the Gunners have been criticised for being too ‘arrogant’ after stating that they think they have what it takes to win the Champions League and the Premier League this season.
Wenger was eager to clear up this confusion and explained, “I am happy with the confidence and I am happy that the players believe they can do it. However, you do not have to confuse confidence with arrogance.” He went on to say, “I want my players to have that confidence and to be honest about it, it means we want to go for it and will give absolutely everything we can.”
Over the years Wenger has managed to compile a squad that are young and have high dreams that they aspire to. Arsene Wenger explained, “Usually when you are guided by fear you are scared to come out and say things, because you feel stupid if we don’t do it.” Fear is not part of their game and as a result, they are able to claim that they will be the best because they are not scared of losing anything, they can always be certain that they did all they could.
Despite many players from Arsenal having to take a seat on the bench due to injuries, they have still managed to muster up a strong starting 11 to help them steal a win and although Alkmaar won against Groningen at the weekend, that was only their second win of 11 games so the gunners look comfortable to take the lead in tonight’s game.
If you are looking to back Arsenal then the best price available is 1/5 with Stan James, whilst a draw is priced at 6/1 with Totesport and AZ Alkmaar to win is best backed at a much longer 16/1 with Blue Square. Other great odds are 16/1 with Blue square that Robin Van Persie will score a hat-trick after his last couple of games have highlighted his talent having scored in his previous 5 Premier League games.
