Arsenal average 6.52 corners per game this season, but that figure climbs to an impressive 7.89 when playing at home. They’ve recorded 8+ corners in 7 of their last 10 home matches.

While Zagreb concede just 4.69 corners per game domestically, that figure skyrockets in Europe to 7.88 per match, with their defence conceding 6+ corners in all but 1 UCL game this season.

Kai Havertz’s combative style and involvement in Arsenal’s midfield makes him a prime candidate for fouls. Havertz averages 1.69 fouls per game and has committed at least 1 foul in 25 of his 26 starts this season. He’s also registered 2+ fouls in 14 of those matches.

Against Zagreb’s physical midfield and defence, Havertz’s tendency to engage in duels is likely to see him on the referee’s radar more than once.

Despite debates over his role as a traditional No. 9, Havertz remains integral to Arsenal’s attack. Havertz averages 2.38 shots per game, with 0.93 hitting the target. Impressively, he’s registered at least one shot on target in 11 of his last 12 matches.

Havertz has remained a pivotal contributor to Arsenal’s shooting metrics, and since Bukayo Saka’s injury, he has shouldered further attacking responsibility.

Arsenal’s anticipated attacking onslaught should create plenty of chances for Trossard, who is adept at finding space and creating shooting opportunities.

With Havertz backed to lead the way down the middle, Trossard is expected to follow suit from either wing. He has hit the target in his last 2 matches and should be heavily involved here.

Dinamo Zagreb’s left-back, Ronaël Pierre-Gabriel, is likely to face a busy night against Arsenal’s fluid attack. Pierre-Gabriel’s fouls per game average rises from 0.86 to 1.05 in high-pressure matches. He’s committed at least 1 foul in his last 4 90 minute performances, and in 3 of his 4 European starts.

Up against Arsenal’s dynamic right-wing threats, who are averaging 1.06 fouls drawn per 90 between them, Pierre-Gabriel will likely be forced into challenges that draw the referee’s attention.

Arsenal’s dominance at home often results in a barrage of attempts on goal. Averaging 5.61 shots on target this season, this rises significantly to 6.56 when playing at the Emirates, surpassing 7+ shots on target in 7 matches this season.

Zagreb concede an average of 6 shots on target per game in Europe, leaving them vulnerable to Arsenal’s potent attack.

The Polish centre-back will be eager to impress in a rare start due to injuries in Arsenal’s backline.

Despite his lack of game time and thus opportunity for fouls to be committed, Kiwior will likely be tasked with containing Zagreb’s key forward, Sandro Kulenovic, who draws 1.04 fouls per game. The added pressure of European competition may lead to mistakes also, which makes 1.73 an attractive price.

Dinamo Zagreb’s Marko Rog faces a challenging evening in midfield against Arsenal’s ball-dominant trio. While Rog averages just 1.10 fouls per game, he has already picked up 3 yellow cards this season, including 2 in European outings.

Arsenal’s midfield has drawn 24 fouls in their last 5 games, showcasing their knack for pressuring opponents into mistakes and the weight of the task ahead of Rog in this fixture. Odds of 3.50 represent good value for Rog to go in the book again.
