Game Preview

The Gunners made a fantastic intro to Tuesday’s event, beating Fulham 3-0 this Saturday. They were excellent, especially Victory Gyokeres, who scored a brace against the Cottagers.

Arsenal has back-to-back home wins, beating Newcastle before Fulham. The result of that contest was 1-0. As you can see, the Gunners’ defense is at a high level again, not allowing a goal in the last three home encounters.

Atletico Madrid looked pretty well against Valencia on the road this weekend, winning 0-2. Apart from the win, another reason for high morale ahead of the clash in London is that all the key players rested well.

The game the Mattress Makers played against Arsenal is the only one in the past five in which they didn’t score at least two goals. Their offense looks very good with Julian Alvarez leading the way.

Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid Head to Head

Last week’s game ended in a 1-1 tie in Madrid, with Alvarez and Gyokeres scoring both from the penalty spot. The previous clash at the Emirates was during the UCL league stage in late October, when Arsenal won 4-0.

Arsenal vs. Atletico Madrid Predictions

This will be a very dull and conservative matchup between two cautious teams. The stakes are high, and both units rely upon tight defense in games like these, so we pick Under 2.5 hits.
