Champions League Semi-Final Betting Preview: Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid

Arsenal host Atlético Madrid in the second leg of this UEFA Champions League semi-final at Emirates Stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Tuesday 5 May. The first leg ended 1-1.

Our top pick is Arsenal to win on the Full-Time Result market. The Gunners have the best home record in the Premier League and have won five of their six home games in the Champions League this season. The only match they did not win came against Sporting, when a draw was enough to secure progression.

Considering the team and player xG data, along with home and away form, the current injury situation and the overall strength of the sides, we expect Arsenal to come out on top here. At -159, this looks like a value bet.

Premier League leaders Arsenal were winners on Saturday night. Landing a 3-0 Premier League home triumph against Fulham at Emirates Stadium. Mikel Arteta's team boasted 54% possession and had nine shots on target, while Viktor Gyoekeres netted twice along with a goal for Bukayo Saka.

Atlético Madrid got the win in their previous game. A 2-0 La Liga victory occurred on the road at Estadio Mestalla when playing Valencia. Los Colchoneros had six shots on goal and 47% possession, while Iker Luque and Miguel Llorente were on the scoresheet.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The first leg at Riyadh Air Metropolitano ended 1-1, with Atléti enjoying 52% possession and dominating shots on target 6-2. Both goals came from the penalty spot, with Viktor Gyoekeres scoring for Arsenal and Julian Alvarez for Atleti.
