Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Preview and Team News

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal are unbeaten in the last three matches, and following a 1-1 draw in the first leg, they enter this clash on level terms. The squad showed their attacking quality in a 3-0 win over Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday.

Victor Gyokeres bagged a brace and registered six touches in the Fulham box, the most of any player. Bukayo Saka also got on the scoresheet while wearing the captain’s armband and created a team-high four chances.

The Gunners have just three injury concerns: Jurrien Timber, Mikel Merino, and Kai Havertz. Havertz’s absence is the most significant, as it affects their goalscoring potential. The German is not expected to return until the end of this month due to a foot injury.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-2-3-1): Raya; Calafiori, Gabriel, Saliba, White; Rice, Zubimendi; Martinelli, Eze, Saka; Gyokeres.

Atletico Madrid Team News

Atletico Madrid are also unbeaten in their last three outings. Across their previous five games, they’ve scored 10 goals and conceded eight. Most recently, they defeated Valencia 2-0.

Despite holding just 47% possession, Atleti generated an impressive xG of 2.04 and took 20 shots, including five on target. It was a well-rounded performance, as they also won 52% and 54% of their ground and aerial duels, respectively.

The Rojiblancos may have to make do without several key players. Nicolas Gonzalez, Pablo Barrios, and Jose Gimenez have all been sidelined with injuries.

Atletico Madrid predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-4-2): Oblak; Ruggeri, Hancko, Le Normand, Llorente; Lookman, Koke, Cardoso, Baena; Alvarez, Griezmann.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

  • Pick: Arsenal to win
  • Odds: -161 (20Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: Arsenal 2-1 Atletico Madrid

Arsenal are favored to win. They have been excellent in the Champions League this season, winning all eight of their league-phase games, including every home match. Their unbeaten run highlights their status as genuine title contenders.

Moreover, the Gunners have avoided defeat in their last two meetings with the Rojiblancos at the Emirates Stadium.

They’re also undefeated in the knockout phase of this tournament so far. Atletico, meanwhile, won just four of their eight group-stage encounters.

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Arsenal total – over 1.5 goals
  • Odds: -132 (20Bet)

We expect Arsenal to score at least two goals. They boast a strong +16.4 xG differential this season, ranking third in the competition. While injuries have certainly played their part, the likes of Gabriel Martinelli (six goals), Victor Gyokeres (five goals), and Bukayo Saka (four goal involvements) have performed well.

Arsenal have often proven to be larger than the sum of their parts, as seen in their last meeting at this venue – a 4-0 win over Atletico in October 2025. During the group stage, the Gunners scored 23 goals in eight matches, averaging nearly three per game.
