This will be just the second meeting between these two clubs after their matchday two fixture earlier in the campaign. Arsenal went on to win 4-2 against their Belarussian opponents.

The north London side are without a goal in their last two European games, they’ve never failed to score in three successive matches in European competition.

​BATE Borisov have won just two of their last 24 European away games including qualifiers (D7 L15), although both of those victories have come in their last five outings.
The Belarussians have kept just two clean sheets in their last 26 European away trips (inc. qualifiers), conceding five goals last time out.
