Arsenal vs Real Madrid UEFA Champions League Prediction Match Details
The Champions League is back this week, and on Tuesday, Arsenal will welcome the Champions League defending champions, Real Madrid, to the Emirates Stadium in a highly anticipated quarterfinal clash. Can Mikel Arteta's side draw blood on their home soil?
Arsenal Preview & Form
Arsenal will come into the last eight of the Champions League on the back of a recent slip in the Premier League after playing a 1-1 draw against Everton at Goodison Park on Saturday. The result now opens up an 11-point gap between Mikel Arteta's team and Liverpool, and their only realistic chance of winning silverware this season is by winning the Champions League. The North Londoners have been impressive in the Champions League as they made progress to their second successive Champions League quarterfinal by claiming a 9-3 aggregate win over PSV in the round of 16. They have been solid on their home soil in the Champions League, having remained unbeaten at home.
Real Madrid Preview & Form
Real Madrid are the most successful club in the European Cup, winning the trophy a record fifteen times. However, Los Blancos had an underwhelming start to this season's Champions League as they missed out on an automatic spot in the round of 16 by finishing 11th in the league phase. They made progress to the quarterfinal of the Champions League by beating Atletico Madrid on a dramatic 4-2 penalty following a 2-2 aggregate. They will now head to the
Emirates Stadium on the back of a surprising 2-1 loss at home to Valencia in La Liga, leaving them four points off the pace in the title race.

This match would be a tough test for two heavyweight teams in the Champions League. However, we think the Gunners will fancy their chances at home in this, especially with Madrid's defensive fragility from set pieces and the Gunners posing a serious threat from set pieces.
