Arsenal faces Real Betis in a pre-season friendly at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, continuing their preparations for the upcoming Premier League season. The match comes on a significant day, as Arsenal nears a £75m deal for Bruno Guimaraes, the Newcastle United captain, who is set to undergo a medical soon.

Mikel Arteta's squad aims to build on their recent 4-1 victory against Girona, where new signing Christos Tzolis scored on his debut, alongside goals from Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, and Max Dowman. The Gunners are eager to solidify their title defense after clinching their first league title in 22 years last season.

In addition to Guimaraes, Arsenal is also pursuing Vinicius Jr., though Real Madrid has reportedly offered him new terms. Arteta’s focus remains on gaining match fitness ahead of the Community Shield against Manchester City in two weeks.

Real Betis, managed by Manuel Pellegrini, features recognizable players including former Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin and ex-West Ham midfielder Pablo Fornals. The match promises to be an intriguing test for Arsenal as they continue to fine-tune their squad for the competitive season ahead.

Arsenal's website faced technical issues during their last match, leading to the game being broadcasted on Premier Sports instead, raising hopes for a smoother viewing experience this time. As kick-off approaches, fans are eager to see if Arsenal can maintain their momentum and secure another victory.
