Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal Tips, Champions League Predictions & Odds
We have got a cracking Champions League match up on Wednesday night to look forward to. Arsenal will be making the trip to the Spanish capital as they take on Atletico Madrid in the semi-final first leg.
Arsenal has had a tough time of it recently but a win last Saturday at home to Newcastle has seen them go back to the top of the Premier League. Atletico Madrid also got a win at home but are now stuck in fourth place in La Liga.
Here are our top three football betting tips and the best free bets ahead of Wednesday evening's clash at the Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal Tips
Can Arsenal take a big step towards the Champions League final? We’ve scoured the markets and handpicked some fabulous football betting tips to consider.
Tip 1: Draw and both teams to score
Atletico Madrid has had a good season again this year and are sitting fourth in La Liga on 60 points. They won’t be competing for the title this year, but they are having a great season in the Champions League.
Beating Barcelona over two legs in the previous round shows what a threat Madrid are to win the Champions League. Forward Ademola Lookman is a doubt for the game with an abductor injury but apart from that they have a fully fit squad going into this game.
Now Madrid must take on an Arsenal side that have been struggling to keep up their earlier form from this season. They beat Sporting Lisbon in the last round 1-0 on aggregate after two tight matches.
Arsenal also has a few players that could miss this game due to injuries. Jurriën Timber, Kai Havertz, Eberechi Eze and Riccardo Calafiori are all doubts for the contest in Madrid.
Arsenal need to give a better performance than what they did against Sporting to get anything out of this game. Both defences are solid and a low scoring draw feels like the right play in a likely tight contest.
Tip 2: Julian Alvarez to score or assist
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 four assists in La Liga this season.
He also has great form in the Champions League this season with nine 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 five 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 17 goals and eight assists this season and another could easily come in this game.
