Both Leon Monza e Brianza and Pavonese will be eager to build momentum when they meet in Serie D - Girone B. Consistency has eluded Leon Monza e Brianza in recent weeks, with DD in their last five and a win rate of 25% that tells of an up-and-down campaign. The visitors have been a mixed bag on the road, WD in their last five and a win rate of 25% reflecting their unpredictability. Where Leon Monza e Brianza have built their campaign on solidity, Pavonese have often chased flair, and that fundamental difference should make for compelling viewing. One position every Premier League club still needs to strengthen in before the transfer window closes.

Set-piece efficiency and transition play often decide fixtures of this nature, and both managers will have been drilling those phases on the training ground. But the Greek winger believes the mentality Arsenal are showing in pre-season is a sign they are ready to defend their crown.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. Archer's movement was brilliant for his goal, spinning in behind and rounding the goalkeeper.

The market has yet to form a strong view, and the contest looks genuinely difficult to call. The signals point towards a stalemate, with the two sides closely matched across form and standings. A 2-2 draw is easy to envisage. Whatever the outcome, the Serie D - Girone B fixture promises a meaningful contest with real implications for both clubs. And Fonseca does not place too much weight on the decision of Roberto Martinez to omit him from the World Cup squad in favour of his Benfica team-mate Tomas Araujo.
