1. Arsenal vs Atletico Preview

The second leg of the Champions League semi-final between Arsenal and Atletico Madrid will take place on the 5th of May at the Emirates Stadium in London. It was The Gunners who took the lead in the first leg from the penalty spot but Rojiblancos equalised in the second half, also via a penalty. There was not a great deal between the teams and we could be in for more of the same in the second leg. Before we present our Arsenal vs Atletico betting predictions, we have the statistics and team news.

1.1 Arsenal vs Atletico Stats

Following the first leg result, the updated Arsenal vs Atletico head-to-head record shows of the 4 fixtures in all competitions, there has been one win each and two draws. Interestingly, Arsenal beat Atletico 4-0 at home in the league phase of the Champions League earlier this season and the hosts would love a repeat of that result.

Arsenal are undefeated in their 13 Champions League matches this season but having won all 8 of their league phase fixtures, they have recorded only 2 wins from their last 5 games. Atletico Madrid have won 3 of their 7 most recent games in the competition, one of which came at Barcelona in the quarter-finals.

1.2 Arsenal vs Atletico Team News

Now we come to the Arsenal vs Atletico news and the Arsenal lineup could include Bukayo Saka, who made an appearance from the bench in the first leg. Eberechi Eze could also come into the starting XI having looked more dangerous than Martin Ødegaard at the Estadio Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

The Atletico lineup will be interesting because key forward, JuliÑn Alvarez, was forced off in the second half of the first leg with an ankle injury. Álex Baena is the man most likely to take his place but Diego Simeone could also opt for Alexander Sørloth as a target man. With the team news in place, we move closer to our Arsenal vs Atletico prediction.

3. Arsenal vs Atletico Betting Tips

The first Arsenal vs Atletico prediction is for the match winner and despite the fact Arsenal comfortably beat Atletico at home in the league phase, The Gunners have not been as impressive in recent weeks. They were held to a 0-0 draw at home by Sporting CP in the quarter-finals and Atletico will fancy their chances having beaten Barcelona away in the previous round. This game could end level and you can back the draw at 3.9 (29/10) with bet365.

The teams had 29 shots between them in the first leg but only 6 of those shots were on target. Both goals came from the penalty spot and Arsenal have seen under 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 4 Champions League matches. Atletico have seen under 2.5 goals scored in 2 of their last 3 fixtures in the competition and are likely to defend deep and hit on the break. Our second Arsenal vs Atletico prediction is under 2.5 goals at 1.91 (10/11).

Atletico have kept just a single clean sheet in the Champions League this season but that did come at Barcelona. Arsenal have failed to score more than a single goal in 4 of their last 5 Champions League games. That suggests Arsenal could score under 1.5 goals and that is available at 2.0 (evens) with bet365.

We conclude our Arsenal vs Atletico predictions with the correct score market. If we believe the game is going to end level with Arsenal scoring under 1.5 goals that leaves us with 1-1 and 0-0 as our options. Atletico have scored in all but one of their Champions League matches this season and will have learned from their 4-0 loss in their previous visit to the Emirates Stadium. We are backing a repeat of the 1-1 draw from the first leg at 7.5 (13/2) with bet365.

That wraps up our prediction for Arsenal vs Atletico, but remember that we publish similar analyses on other upcoming sports events. As World Cup is just around the corner, you can check out our England vs Ghana odds and prediction and be ready when the biggest event in football begins.
