Arsenal travel to Spain as huge underdogs for a win on betting apps for UCL playoffs. The Gunners are tagged at 5.00 (4/1) to win, but their win in the first leg makes them favorites to qualify on the Real Madrid vs Arsenal odds. A home win is valued at 1.67 (4/6), while a draw is worth 4.00 (3/1).
Both teams have met just once in the Champions League in a historic two-legged tie in 2016, where Real Madrid progressed. Los Blancos beat Real Madrid on penalties in the International Champions Cup in 2019 after the game ended in a 2-2 draw. Last-week face-off ended in a dominant 3-0 win for the Gunners.
Real Madrid will need to score three unreplied goals to put themselves back in the race for semi-final qualification. They head into the second leg of the quarterfinals with a three-goal deficit after their defeat in London. Carlo Ancelotti’s side have struggled in their last few games, and although they can be unpredictable at home, their chances are very slim here. Madrid beat City 3-1 in their last UCL game at home, and they led 3-0 till the dying minutes, which could give them some hope here.
Eduardo Camavinga picked up a red card in the first leg and will miss this game. Dani Carvajal and Ferland Mendy are still out but can return this season, while Eder Militao is ruled out of this campaign.
Arsenal put themselves in the driving seat after a big win in the first leg, and even a two-goal defeat will be enough for them to go through. The Gunners blew out PSV in the previous round, and they are on the verge of eliminating the defending champions. Arsenal’s chances of winning the Premier League are almost non-existent, and they will be dreaming of the UCL with Bukayo Saka’s return. The Gunners are in good form, and history favors them against Madrid, but they would be careful to avoid an embarrassing defeat.
Thomas Partey had some discomfort in the game against Brentford, but he should be back in the XI for the trip to Spain. Ben White is back in training, but he will be on the bench, while Kai Havertz and Riccardo Calafiori will not travel to Spain.

Real Madrid play better at home, and they have a different spirit here, but their recent performances have been far from convincing. So far, the Whites have scored just twice in the last three matches, and they will need a miracle against this Arsenal team. The Gunners are good at maintaining a big lead, and so there wouldn’t be so much on the attack for Mikel Arteta’s team. Four of Arsenal’s last five matches have ended with under 2.5 goals. With the Blancos misfiring and the Gunners solid at the back, an under 2.5 option is valuable on bet sites for top football games.

Goals have been scarce lately for Real Madrid, who has scored only twice in the last three matches, with lone goals against Valencia and Alaves. In the 1-0 win against Alaves, Real Madrid generated a total of xG of less than 1, and this was the same case in their loss to Arsenal in London. Mikel Arteta’s team has conceded more than one goal in just one of their last ten games, a no-pressure 2-2 draw against PSV, which came after a 7-1 win in the first leg. A bet on the Whites to score one or less is a good offer on Real Madrid vs Arsenal predictions.

Arsenal are one of the teams well known for the corner tactics, and their playing style favors them in winning those set pieces. The Gunners had three corners in the first leg against Madrid’s tally of five. Real Madrid finished level on corners in their last game against Alaves as each team racked up four set pieces from the flag. The UCL bookies have good odds on the Gunners to win on corners with a +4.5 handicap. This is a great option on Real Madrid vs Arsenal betting tips for punters looking to bet on other game stats.
