Real Madrid vs Arsenal Bet Builder Tips, Betting Preview

The quarter final of the Champions League between Real Madrid and Arsenal concludes inside the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Wednesday night when Arsenal will look to convert a 3-0 lead from the first leg.

It stands to reason that Real Madrid have to go all out to win this match. They don’t just need to win it but they need to win it by three goals just to get to extra time.

Arsenal can go to Madrid and if they want to they can sit back and even if they lose by two goals they are still into the semi-final of the competition.

The onus is on Madrid to attack here and with the front four that they have that has to be a dangerous place to be for Arsenal.

This is a tough place to go at the best of times. Madrid have won five of their six home matches starting out at 0-0 in this competition so it makes perfect sense in a match that they have to win and Arsenal can lose to take the Spanish giants to win the game.

It would be fairly shrewd to expect all of the front four for Real Madrid to have shots in this match but picking out the best one to add to the bet builder isn’t necessarily the easiest thing in the world.

Given that Thomas Partey is expected to miss the match through injury it might be difficult for Arsenal to cover England international Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham had a shot on target on what was eventually a night to forget for Real Madrid in London last week and now knowing that they have to win by three goals it would be a surprise if the midfielder doesn’t get into positions to fire shots away.

Madrid are going to be on the front foot here and you can see a scenario where Arsenal are pushed back and while the likes of Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior might be targeted by the visiting defence, Bellingham can get into different areas.

Add him to replicate the shot on target that he had in the first leg.

With all of the attacking likely to be done by Real Madrid in this match we can look to get their corners onside for this second leg.

Madrid are going to throw everything at this one and will be firing shots away and getting the ball out wide and putting the ball in and all of the other favourites ways that corners come along.

Only two teams in the Champions League have won more corners than Real Madrid this season. Madrid have 83 corners in their 11 matches at an average of around 7.5 per game so we are only aiming for an average total for this line to be matched.

Then you add the game state in and the fact that Madrid begin the night 3-0 down and you would have to expect them to overachieve on their average in this one and so over 7.5 corners looks like it has a fantastic chance of landing here.

The final leg of the bet builder will be placed in the hands of the Arsenal fouls and you would imagine they will overperform their average in this regard too given the state of the tie.

In the Champions League this season, Arsenal commit 10.5 fouls per match on average and that gets us to within 2.5 of the total that we need should they just perform to an average here.

When you then add into the melting pot that someone who probably hasn’t played much football will need to come in for Thomas Partey and the fact that Madrid are going to be sending wave after wave of attacks into the Arsenal half of the pitch and fouls should come more naturally.

One of the ways that Arsenal might look to kill the Madrid tempo in this match is tactical fouling and just breaking up the play with some of the cynical stuff that we see teams in the lead so the Arsenal foul count could be run up quite quickly here.

Finish off the bet builder by taking Arsenal to commit 13 or more fouls.
