With a spot in the final of this season’s Champions League hanging in the balance on Tuesday night, Arsenal will welcome Atletico Madrid to the Emirates for their second-leg showdown.
Claiming an essential domestic boost over the weekend and picking up some dream momentum in north London, Mikel Arteta’s side are pencilled in as a standout contender here and they will certainly be backed by an emotional home support.
Missing out on the opportunity to claim a crucial first-leg in the Spanish capital last week, Atletico are more than aware that they have an almighty job on their hands in the race to book their spot in a first European final since 2016.
With all eyes falling on north London on Tuesday night, we have taken a look at some of the most attractive Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Bet Builder Tips.
Arsenal claim some key momentum
While Arsenal might have shown some real cause for concern on either side of March’s International break, the Gunners put in what was a crucial performance over the weekend and claimed some dream momentum.
Eventually breezing past local rivals Fulham thanks to a thumping 3-0 victory on home soil, Arteta’s side were back to their clinical best and the Spanish tactician will be dreaming of a repeat performance here.
Leaving the Spanish capital without having to chase a first-leg deficit, Arsenal have continued to shine on their European stage during this season’s tournament and they are rightfully installed as a standout contender in midweek.
Extending on their European adventure last month as they secured a hard-fought 1-0 aggregate win against Portuguese giants Sporting Lisbon, Arteta’s side have not tasted a single Champions League defeat this year.
It should also be highlighted, Arsenal have registered a clean sheet in all of their last three consecutive matchups at the Emirates across all competitions.

Gyokeres enjoying life in north London
Arriving at the Emirates last summer following a blockbuster £64million move from Sporting Lisbon, Viktor Gyokeres certainly had a huge amount of expectations on his shoulders.
Despite enduring a frustrating start to life in north London, the 27-year-old is in the midst of his most fruitful spell and Arsenal’s leading marksman will spearhead Arteta’s attack in midweek.
Bagging a Premier League brace during Arsenal’s 3-0 victory against Fulham on Saturday evening, Gyokeres also registered a fifth Champions League strike of the season in Madrid last week.
Dragging Sweden to an iconic World Cup return for this summer and notching four goals in their back-to-back qualifying showdowns during March’s international break, the ex-Sporting Lisbon striker should be confident of stealing all of the headlines here.
In fact, Gyokeres has registered 18 goals for club and country so far this calendar year and he will be looking to exploit an Atletico defence who have shown some real defensive inconsistencies.

A major uphill battle for Atletico
Missing out on the chance to claim what could prove to be a crucial first-leg advantage on home soil last week, Atletico Madrid will be more than aware that they have an almighty challenge on their hands here.
Despite shockingly coming past bitter domestic foes and fellow Spanish giants Barcelona last month, Diego Simeone’s side have shown some remarkable inconstancies on either side of March’s fortnight interval.
In fact, Thursday’s guests have registered just a trio of wins from any of their last 11 appearances across all competitions and they are pencilled in as a major underdog in north London.
Shipping at least a pair of goals in five of their last seven matchups on their travels across all competitions, Atletico should also be concerned by their most recent trip to the Emirates.
Slumping to a woeful 4-0 drumming when they travelled to Arsenal for a group stage showdown back in October, Simeone’s side are set for another stern examination.
