Arsenal and Atletico Madrid are each bidding to reach the 2025-26 Champions League final.
And ahead of the second leg at the iconic Emirates Stadium, things could not be closer between the two European heavyweights.
Arsenal and Atletico are locked at 1-1 following an enthralling – and VAR dominated – first leg at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Viktor Gyokeres and Julian Alvarez each scored from the penalty spot, with the Gunners infamously denied a second chance to net from 12 yards after VAR declared Eberechi Eze had not been fouled late on.
More footballing drama surely awaits us in North London, with the eventual winner going on to play either Paris Saint-Germain or Bayern Munich in the final.
Below is our full sports betting online preview for this huge semi-final second leg, complete with the best and latest Champions League odds.
Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Preview
Arsenal will be feeling very confident ahead of this fixture after a return to form against Fulham on the weekend.
Mikel Arteta’s men thrashed the Cottagers 3-0 at the Emirates, with Gyokeres netting a brace and Bukayo Saka back on the scoresheet.
The result has helped the Gunners take control of the Premier League title race, and with Saka looking sharp, the signs look good for a fantastic end to the campaign.
Atletico also enjoyed a positive result on the weekend. Diego Simeone rotated his entire XI, but still watched on as his side won 2-0 at Valencia.
The La Liga outfit are unbeaten in the last three matches across all competitions, which is quite significant given the poor run of form they had previously been on.
But a trip to the Emirates is a far tougher one than the Mestalla, something which even Valencia fans would acknowledge.
And Atletico found that out the hard way earlier in the campaign.
Simeone’s side lost 4-0 at the Emirates in the League Phase, with Gyokeres netting two of the goals on a memorable night for Arsenal

Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Betting Tips
Both teams to score – No @ 1.81
Arsenal have kept four clean sheets in their six Champions League home games so far this season. Furthermore, both teams have scored in just one of the last six matches at the Emirates across all competitions. As such, this market could be a real source of value.
Anytime goalscorer – Viktor Gyokeres @ 2.48
But while we are tipping one market reliant on a lower number of goals, we still fancy Gyokeres to ripple the back of the net again. The Swede struck three times in the last two appearances, and netted a double vs Atletico earlier in the campaign.
