Why we have an advantage against Arsenal, Valencia coach

Arsenal have been able to progress to the semi-finals of the Europa League after seeing past Italian Serie A outfit Napoli and will now face Spanish La Liga side Valencia in coming weeks.

Valencia boss Marcelino has claimed that his side are at a better advantage than the North London outfit because they will not be under pressure like the English Premier League side.

The Valencia boss noted that the Gunners team are favourites ahead of the semi-final clash and they will be under pressure to prove that when they meet.

He added that with the fight for a top-four finish in the Premier League looking tough, the Gunners team will be desperate to deliver victory and they could be hunted by that as he hopes his team are able to deliver victory in the game.

However, there is no doubt that the Gunners team are favourites for the Europa League title and winning Valencia in the semi-final will give a big hope to the Arsenal fans, knowing that manager Unai Emery has got a history with the competition- winning it three times with Sevilla.

Meanwhile, the Gunners team will have their attention on the English Premier League as well so as not to take the risk.
