Real Madrid v Arsenal Preview

Real Madrid’s Form

Real had a sensational 23/24 which culminated in a La Liga and Champions League double. In the summer they then finally completed the long-anticipated signing of Kylian Mbappé on a free transfer from PSG which naturally kept expectation levels high at the club. This season they’ve already won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup but in La Liga trail Barcelona by 4 points with 7 games remaining.

Ahead of the first leg of the tie they were well fancied in many quarters to overcome Arsenal over two legs and make another Champions League semi-final. However, a second-half flurry of goals from their opponents in the first leg meant they fell to a 3-0 defeat leaving their qualifying hopes in serious jeopardy after taking their recent league form into Europe.

They’ve it all to do in this tie and if it was any other club you could call the tie as good as dead. However, we’ve seen this script on far too many occasions so Arsenal will still need to be at their best on Wednesday Night.

Arsenal’s Form

Ahead of the 24/25 season, there seemed to be a growing pressure on Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal side to land a “major” trophy following finishing the 23/24 season trophyless for the fourth successive time. The improvements under Arteta have been considerable but at some point, they need to land another trophy and following another draw in the Premier League at the weekend, this competition is likely their only chance left of a major trophy this season.

While Arsenal put on an exceptional display in the first leg of the tie the job remains only 50% complete. Though their starting side should still be strong coming into this game they could have up to 8/9 players missing out for varying reasons which means their bench could be inexperienced on Wednesday which may put them under pressure if Real score an early goal or two.

Arsenal have a strong record against Real Madrid which will put them in good spirits ahead of the second leg and their hopes of reaching the semi-final stage.

Key Players To Watch

Kylian Mbappe - Real Madrid

There was a massive amount of excitement, expectation levels and pressure when Mbappé finally made his move to Madrid from PSG during the summer transfer window.

Despite a slow start to his life at Real Madrid, he has looked like the Mbappé of old in recent weeks and has a tally for the season of 32 goals and 4 assists from 48 matches in all competitions. He is 3/1 to score first and 20/23 to score at any point.

Bukayo Saka - Arsenal

The Hale End Football Academy Graduate has become a crucial component of Arsenal’s rise in competitive stature under Mikel Arteta. While he first broke through as a flying Left-Back in 2018 he has since transitioned into one of the most productive Right-Wingers in World Football and at only 23 he he could have a decade of top-level football ahead of him.

Saka may have been used sparingly since his return to action due to more minor issues, but he is still likely to start in this game and will be looking to add to his tally for the season of 10 goals and 14 assists in 28 matches. He is 9/1 to be the first goal scorer and 3/1 to score anytime.

Real Madrid v Arsenal Prediction & Best Bet

Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Arsenal

Real Madrid have it all to do if they want to overturn the first leg and qualify but if there’s any club that can do it in this competition it's themselves.

Arsenal have a lead to protect but will need to due to their Premier League aspirations being all but over.

I fancy Madrid to win this game, but it may not be enough to qualify for the next round.

Best Bet: Real Madrid Win + Under 2.5 Total Goals - 4/1
