Arsenal and Barcelona feature in yet another high-caliber soccer game played in the United States. The 2006 Champions League finals replay is set at the SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the home of the LA Rams and the LA Chargers.
Before Betting on Arsenal vs. Barcelona Club Friendly
Arsenal had a couple of games played before this one, to be precise, four. After playing 1-1 against Watford and Nurnberg, they were better than the MLS All-Stars, 5-0, and then lost to Manchester United 2-0 in the most recent contest the Gunners played.
We could see that the defense still didn’t reach its full potential, but that would be impossible to do with Timber and Rice having their first start since their arrival. Both guys were thrown into fire against the Red Devils, and even though we haven’t seen anything special from either one, they did a decent job.
Barcelona met with Visel Kobe in Japan prior to this clash, beating the rivals 0-2. We saw again a very rigid and slow-paced performance from Xavi’s crew, whose focus is on the defense and the possession of the ball.
Xavi realized that his unit didn’t have the quality to compete with the rivals, and in order to erase that, he changed the tactics making it very strict and dull to watch. However, his results are more than good, and Barcelona won the La Liga title last season.

The clash between the two Spaniards will be very intense, but we don’t expect to see some beauty on the field. Arteta will also try to take the ball from its rival, and create his own tempo of play. Everything about this match suggests we won’t see too many goals, two at most.
