Real Madrid vs Arsenal Preview and Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid come into this game on the back of a rather scrappy 1-0 win over Deportivo Alaves in La Liga on Sunday. 

That encounter saw Kylian Mbappe being sent off after a cynical challenge in the first half. Luckily, he will be available for selection against Arsenal. 

In this second leg of their quarterfinal in the Champions League, Madrid will have to come from behind as they lost the first leg 0-3 in London.

Carlo Ancelotti’s men are facing one of the biggest challenges of their careers. The only way they’ll be able to advance smoothly to the semifinals is by scoring four goals in this match and keeping a clean sheet. 

Edouardo Camavinga is suspended for Wednesday’s game. This will come as a big blow to Madrid, especially after the stunning goal he scored against Alaves.

 Andriy Lunin and Ferland Mendy are doubtful starters while Daniel Ceballos and Eder Militao continue to miss out due to ACL injuries.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Arsenal

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Arsenal (4-3-3): Courtois; Garcia, Asencio, Rudiger, Vazquez; Tchouameni, Modric, Bellingham; Vinicius, Mbappe, Rodrygo.

Arsenal Team News

Arsenal, riding high after their 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the first leg of this encounter, were brought down to earth with a thud by their London rivals Brentford after a 1-1 draw on Saturday. 

They’ll hold all the aces in the game against Madrid, and will naturally start as the side with a significant advantage. 

It won’t be easy for the home team to wipe out a deficit of three goals, but Arsenal need to be wary of sitting on their laurels. Manager Mikel Arteta needs to ensure that none of his players become complacent and that they keep putting in the hard yards until their place in the semifinals is confirmed. 

The visitors haven’t lost in 9 events, and this will give them a massive boost in confidence ahead. 

However, they have a long list of injured players in their ranks for this match, including Thomas Partey, Jorginho, Kai Havertz, Gabriel, and Gabriel Jesus

Meanwhile, star defender Ben White is still a doubtful starter due to a knock he sustained recently.

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Real Madrid

Arsenal predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-3-3): Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Zinchenko, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal Prediction

  • Pick: Real Madrid to win
  • Odds: -143 (20Bet)
  • Score prediction: Real Madrid 2-1 Arsenal

Real Madrid may have a slight upper hand over Arsenal in this game, and we expect them to win. 

However, when it comes to the overall qualification scenario, the visitors are more than likely to edge their opponents out. 

The home squad, with Mbappe and Jude Bellingham on their side, seem to possess a stronger attacking unit, especially when it comes to playing in familiar conditions. 

Arsenal, despite their strong and cohesive defensive unit, may come up short in front of the home team’s attacking strength.

Real Madrid vs Arsenal Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Both teams to score
  • Odds: -167 (20Bet)

We expect both sides to get on the scoresheet on Wednesday as they have a lot of top-quality attackers in their ranks. 

As mentioned earlier, Madrid will rely upon Mbappe, Vinicius, Rodrygo, and Bellingham for attacking output. Arsenal seem to be a changed squad ever since England superstar Bukayo Saka returned from the hamstring injury he had sustained earlier. 

The guests will be keen on starting the match with more possession under their belt, but Madrid will be tough nuts to crack.
