Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Tips, Champions League Predictions & Odds

We have reached the business end of the Champions League as the second leg of the semi-finals start on Tuesday night. Arsenal is hosting Atletico Madrid after a 1-1 draw last week in Madrid.
Before this game Arsenal had an easy win at home against Fulham that allowed them to rest some star players. Atletico Madrid went away and beat Valencia 2-0, but they made 11 changes for that game, resting the starting squad for this match.
Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Tips
Here are our top three football betting tips and the best free bets ahead of Tuesday evening's clash at The Emirates.
Tip 1: Arsenal to win and both teams to score @ 13/5 (Paddy Power)
Arsenal seems to have got over their blip from a month ago and are looking back to their best again. The Gunners had an impressive performance away to Atletico last week earning a 1-1 draw but having chances to win.
They have also got themselves back to the top of the table with wins against Newcastle and Fulham in recent weeks. Being able to sub players like Bukayo Saka and Declan Rice in Saturdays win against Fulham is a huge plus for them.
Now they must face an Atletico Madrid side that have put all their eggs in the Champions League basket this season. They are fourth in La Liga now and are 25 points behind league leaders Barcelona.
They managed to rest most of their starting eleven from their game with Valencia on Saturday, but this feels like a tough task. They lost away to Arsenal in the Champions League group stage earlier this season and they are going up against a tough defence.
Expect Arsenal to get the job done but for their defence to ultimately restrict Madrid enough to just one goal
Tip 2: Julian Alvarez to score or assist @ 11/5 (Paddy Power)
Julian Alvarez has had a solid season for Atletico Madrid this year and he is a good price to score or assist in this game. The Argentina international has scored eight goals and had four assists in La Liga this season.
He also has great form in the Champions League this season with ten goals and four assists. With a shot-to-shot on-target ratio of around 50%, Alvarez should get an opportunity or two in this game.
Tip 3: Declan Rice 1+ shot on target, Jorge Koke to be shown a card, Julian Alvarez to score or assist
Declan Rice has been a good choice all season for a shot on target bet. The England international has had seven shots with three hitting the target in the Champions League. He has also got a 33% shot to shots on target ration in the Premier League.
Jorge Koke has had five yellow cards in La Liga and another one in the Champions League this season. The competitive midfielder has committed eight fouls in nine Champions League games as well and could easily get booked here.
Finally add Julian Alvarez to score or assist anytime. The Argentinean forward has had 18 goals and eight assists this season and another could easily come in this game.
