Can Arteta’s Men Win the Second Leg in Madrid?

Real Madrid have had a disappointing time lately, but last weekend’s win at Alaves was just what the doctor ordered. Eduardo Camavinga scored the only goal of a fierce contest in which both teams ended with ten men.

Arsenal followed up the impressive victory over Real Madrid with a 1-1 Premier League draw with Brentford. The point extended their unbeaten run in all competitions to nine games.

Real have much to do in this quarter-final, but Los Blancos are renowned for finding a way to win against the odds. In the previous round, Carlo Ancelotti’s Merengues beat rivals Atletico Madrid on penalties in the Metropolitano.

Arsenal have impressed in the Champions League this season, winning eight of 11. Their only European reverse came against Inter Milan at the San Siro in November. Mikel Arteta’s troops have put themselves in a superb position to progress.

Recent Real Madrid vs Arsenal Head-to-Head Results

Arsenal were excellent against Real Madrid in the first leg of this quarter-final, running out 3-0 winners. Declan Rice netted two outstanding free-kicks before Mikel Merino’s goal.

The previous meeting came in the knockout phase of the 2005-06 Champions League. A Thierry Henry goal gave the Gunners a 1-0 win in Madrid, and a 0-0 draw at Highbury put the English side through.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal Betting Tips & Predictions

Real Madrid will not give up their title without a fight, but Arsenal have one big foot in the last four after last week’s stunning display at the Emirates Stadium. Arteta’s men will be gunning for another win, and we fancy the Londoners to nick it (4.40).

Spaniard Merino is in good form, netting seven times since February. He will be eager to follow up his first-leg goal with another at the Bernabeu, and Merino is priced at 4.50 to score anytime.
