Real Madrid is in real danger of failing to defend their Champions League title and it’s going to take an incredible performance for them to overturn the first-leg defeat, per Real Madrid vs. Arsenal stats.
If any side is capable of doing so, though, it’s Los Blancos. Things haven’t been easy for Real Madrid in the Champions League this season.
Arsenal comes into this game off the back of a 1-1 draw with Brentford at the weekend. It was a much-changed Arsenal side, albeit still a competitive one, with Mikel Arteta having one eye on this game and Arsenal struggled to be at their best.
Arsenal’s excellent win in the first leg gives them a major advantage that they will be able to defend in Madrid.
However, Los Blancos always perform when the lights shine the brightest, and an early goal could show the vulnerabilities that remain in Mikel Arteta’s side.
If you’re looking for a great bet to include in your soccer picks and parlays, back an entertaining game with both sides having enough quality to score at least three goals in the match.
Bet This Pick: Over 3 Goals (-114)
2. Best Player Prop Bet: Vinicius Jr. to Score 1+ Goals (+175)
Real Madrid will need to be on the front foot in this tie to try and get back into things and that could lead to a glut of chances for the front three. Vinicius Jr has averaged two shots on target per match in the Champions League this season, totaling 12 in six games.
Vinicius, along with Kylian Mbappe, will be the main attacking outlet for Real Madrid and if they dominate possession, as expected, there could be plenty of chances for both in this game.
If you’re looking for great soccer player props, back Vinicius Jr. to find the back of the net against Arsenal.
Bet This Pick: Vinicius Jr. Anytime Goalscorer (+175)
