WDDWWD 📈

Arsenal enter this match following on from a 1-1 Premier League drawn match vs Everton.

In that match, Arsenal had 71% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 5 on target. The scorer for Arsenal was Leandro Trossard (34'). Everton had 5 attempts at goal with 2 of them on target. Iliman Ndiaye (49') was the scorer for Everton.

Arsenal have been conceding pretty frequently lately, although they have also done enough to convert their own chances into goals. Over their last 6 matches, Arsenal have seen their goal breached in 5 of them as well as scoring in 6 of those games. That sort of pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, though.

Real Madrid

Real Madrid have been dangerous up front leading up to this encounter, scoring 13 goals in their previous 6 matches. This doesn’t mask the fact that Real Madrid can also improve defensively after being scored against in 6 of those same clashes.

📰 Team News: Arsenal

Riccardo Calafiori (Knee injury), Kai Havertz (Hamstring injury), Gabriel Magalhães (Hamstring injury), Gabriel Jesus (Cruciate ligament tear) and Takehiro Tomiyasu (Knee surgery) will not be able to play for Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta.

In our view, The Gunners should go for a 4-3-3 formation for the game, beginning the first half with David Raya, Jurrien Timber, William Saliba, Jakub Kiwior, Myles Lewis-Skelly, Martin Oedegaard, Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Mikel Merino and Gabriel Martinelli.

🗞️ Team News: Real Madrid

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has multiple availability issues to deal with. Ferland Mendy (Muscle injury), Dani Ceballos (Muscle injury), Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament tear) and Daniel Carvajal (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be making appearances.

We believe Los Blancos will likely begin the game with a 4-3-3 system, choosing Thibaut Courtois, Federico Valverde, Raul Asencio, Antonio Ruediger, David Alaba, Luka Modric, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

💭 Prediction

In our opinion, Real Madrid will need to put in a solid display to put one past this Arsenal side who we think might well get the win and a maybe even keep a clean sheet as well.

That’s why our selection here is for a hard-fought 1-0 win for Arsenal at the conclusion of the game.

Should be a close one.
