Real Madrid will play against Arsenal at home in the second leg of their Champions League quarterfinal match. In the first leg, Arsenal surprised Real Madrid by taking a 3-0 lead in London. Now, Arsenal aims to maintain this advantage to reach their first Champions League semifinal since 2009.
Real Madrid, the current Champions League title holders, will rely on their strong attack with players like Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Rodrygo to overcome the deficit.
The match will take place at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid. Experts suggest that Arsenal might focus on defense to protect their lead and advance in the Champions League. However, Arsenal`s fast players like Saka and Gabriel Martinelli can still threaten Real Madrid on counter-attacks, giving them a chance to get a good result in Madrid.
It is also predicted that Real Madrid might score less than 1.5 goals in this match, considering Arsenal`s strong defense in both the Premier League and Champions League this season. Arsenal has conceded very few goals on average, making it challenging for Real Madrid`s attack.
Furthermore, the total number of corners in the match is expected to be under 11.5. This prediction is based on the idea that Arsenal will play defensively and Real Madrid will need to push forward, but Arsenal`s defensive approach might limit the number of corners in the game.
