Real Madrid vs Arsenal Preview

Real Madrid bid to overturn a three goal deficit as they host Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League Quarter final at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Form

Real Madrid head into this fixture on the back of a mixed run of form with three wins, one draw and three defeats in their last seven games in all competitions including the 3-0 first leg defeat to Arsenal.

They have won eight of their thirteen Champions League matches this season with eleven games featuring Over 2.5 goals while they have kept just one clean sheet in the Champions League.

Both teams have found the back of the net in all six of Madrid's eight Champions League home games while winning five of those home games.

Arsenal have been solid coming into this fixture, unbeaten in their last nine games in all competitions with four wins and five draws including the emphatic 3-0 win over Real Madrid in the first leg.

The English side have won eight of the eleven Champions League game played this season and have been very solid at the back as they have kept six clean sheets in the Champions League this season.

Both teams have found the back of the net in three of their five away Champions League matches with seven consecutive Champions League games seeing Over 2.5 goals

Verdict

Real Madrid v Arsenal

With the pressure on Madrid, Arsenal are likely to sit in a defensive low block while trying to play on the counter which could lead to an end to end game. I'll be backing goals with Over 2.5 goals.
