UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

Giving madrid 3.05 odds against arsenal is what am not too convinced about because I don't know the criteria used in giving this odds by the bookmakers because even if you say that it's because of recent matches that the two sides has played arsenal has not been convincing in their games so giving arsenal 2.38 against Madrid is not in the best interest of arsenal because arsenal will be going into this game next week with a false confidence that will likely hunt them, but for we as gambler's it's an opportunity for us to make some money from this game because I will definitely bet on this game because madrid is going to win this game

This is mainly because of their home advantage I assume. I don't know what other reasons the bookmakers could take into consideration here, but this is the most plausible that comes to my mind and not to forget that Arsenal is still 2nd in the Premier League, the best league in the world and so far they lost only one game in the Premier League at home.

But you can see how quickly a result was added to Real Madrid's bad performances against Valencia. Nobody can now argue that it was La Liga and Real Madrid has a more important focus. That is not true and you could ask Ancelotti whether he is ok with giving the La Liga title to Barcelona because they lose against teams like Valencia in the Bernabeu.

The rivalry in La Liga doesn't allow that Barcelona wins the title easily. The Madrid fans will freak out about it.

3.05 seemed a bit high to me, but the performance against Valencia gave some more insight into the shape that Real Madrid is in.

Real Madrid lost to Valencia today, that doesn’t mean that they are weak, they did well, but unfortunately, they lost due to some reason and how they played in the match. As you say, this losing should not be a guarantee for them to defeat Arsenal because Arsenal also played a draw against Everton at Goodson Park today; although Arsenal rested some players in the beginning of the game so that they can keep fit against Real Madrid. Arsenal has given up with the title race, the only competition they can win this season is the Champions League, therefore, they will try their best to make it game by game.

Arsenal is out from EPL title contest, all they need is to finish among top 4 teams in EPL to retain there slot in next UCL.   

Both Arsenal and Real Madrid are at number 2nd position of their respective leagues. Arsenal played a draw against Everton which is at 14th position in EPL while Real Madrid lost to number 15th team of La Liga. This is a clear indication that in football mediocre or underdog team has the capability to beat top team of the league. Having said that I am looking forward to see an interesting contest between Arsenal and Real Madrid on April 9, 2025 because I think both teams are equally good to beat each other.

Yes, so far luck has always been on Real Madrid side even though they have performed inconsistently. Real Madrid also cannot always rely on luck without improving their performance because at any time luck can be on the opposing team's side.
Conceding 2 goals when defeated by Valencia shows that their back line is still very fragile, if they play like this when facing Arsenal, maybe Madrid will suffer the same fate.

Real Madrid have qualified for the quarter-finals. However, it cannot be said that Real Madrid are in their best form. Despite having a very strong squad this season, Madrid are not in a very good form. Madrid's performance is erratic.

Madrid's defense is weak this season. We have seen this evidence in several matches. Madrid have lost two matches against Barcelona by a large margin. They have also conceded 4 goals against Real Sociedad. Madrid have also conceded 2 goals against a weak team like Valencia and have lost.

Real Madrid are going to face a strong team like Arsenal in the Champions League. Arsenal are a strong team. If Madrid's defense performs so poorly against Arsenal, then there is no chance of them winning.

[Out of mind]

Real Madrid has some deficiencies and I think that is Arsenal's chance. I don't know whether this luck can go on forever for them. Honestly, who thought that Sociedad would have a 10% chance to sustain their hopes rightfully in the Copa del Rey... I didn't think they could and hardly anyone else thought they could, but it was so close and Sociedad would have deserved it eventually. Arsenal is another calibre and I hope they can play their best in both games. That's when this is going to be very intense and it is time for Real Madrid to finally get what they deserve - a defeat!

Despite Real Madrid’s problems, they seem to have much luck on their side when the play in the Champions League, Arsenal supporters can only hope this luck turns in their favor when the time comes. I believe Arsenal are good enough to cause Real Madrid troubles and hopefully those deficiencies will show up and Arsenal can seize those opportunities for their advantage.

Since you have already called it luck, I don't know how to place my exact thought on Real Madrid performance in the champions league because I can't say it's years of experience because experience comes with constant playing and we all know that a team cannot have the same set of player for as long as naming the team with the most experience based on player experience playing such competition and the reason why I say is because Madrid changes players and yet still manage to keep their cool

In the Champions League, Real Madrid will depend a lot on their luck whether they will win with Arsenal, but Real Madrid's performance is good enough that if they can manage their game well, victory can be possible. Real Madrid was the champion last season and then they had many experienced players in their team who are not in this season, so there can be a lot of disruption in the game. Since Madrid's players change a lot, whether they can play with the same experience as before will depend on their performance. However, since there will be a lot of competition in the Champions League, if Real Madrid can play with their experience and strategy, then they will definitely have a hope of winning.

I don't know how things use work out for them in UCL. They are the most luckiest club in Champions League because they do get a narrow escape most of the time and win the match. Arsenal should buggle up their belts and stay focus with determination to win the game. However, Madrid shouldn't be underestimated because they gat sharp strikers than Arsenal.

What happened in thier previous match against valencia prove to me that anything can happen in this thier upcoming champions league match, let's keep experience aside is obvious that real madrid is just being so lucky to win. Now they have lose against valencia who knows if that's the end of thier luck............this is why anyone who is predicting this match to work in the favour of real madrid need to be extremely careful, because this thier previous match has just made me lose the confidence I had for them before.

Real Madrid are lacking in defense very much lately.    We saw it against their shocking loss against Valencia too. They have been like this for a few matches.

Arsenal have Saka recovered. They can push with all they have at Emirates. Arteta did the right thing by rotating the starting 11 against Everton too.

However there is a question mark on their defense line. Gabriel is out for the rest of the season. So probably Kiwior will play there. Let's see if this costs them too much...

Let's see what can come out of all the hype, although Real Madrid is my club and I wish them to win the trophy this season then Asernal is a big club also and Asernal can tumble many Many Cubs ambitions in that season.

No, Arsenal will lose. I am very confident in Madrid's current condition. The Arsenal vs Madrid match in 2005/2006 Madrid indeed lost and failed in the last 16 of the UCL. Indeed the first leg they will play in England, I think Arsenal have the advantage of the support of the crowd. But you have to remember how Madrid played against Man City? They are able to win at home and away. I think Arsenal have to be careful, they have an opponent with experience and the most UCL champions. But all opportunities can happen, there is always a big difference when in the UCL.

Real Madrid football team performance is very well and that team has excellent players because their fitness is at top tier . Arsenal many players are injured and that is loss of that team and we will see less experienced players in next match. But I think Quarter final match will be interesting match of the tournament because both teams are fully prepared for that match. Gabriel is also injured and team is waiting for his recovery but his recovery will take 2 months more , So defending system of  Arsenal is weak because 3 defenders are not part of team.Real Madrid two defenders are also injured but they have more chances to win this match because that have alternatives which will fill the gap.

Arsenal and Real Madrid have bad capital for the first leg match after both teams failed secure three points due Arsenal held draw by Everton and Real Madrid defeated by Valencia, both teams have bad news with current their main players composition after many top players got injury and Madrid have official confirmed two their goal keepers Thibaut Courtois and Andriy Lunin.
Comparison with how many players injury, Madrid have better composition teams because only injury with goals keeper but difference for Arsenal after losing many main players at crucial position.

Madrid have winning mentality when playing in Champion League more favorable than Arsenal as the big four of Premier League teams never winning UCL tittle, have been longer time for Arsenal success reaching the final round at season 2006/07 or almost twenty years never qualifying to final stage in UEFA Champion League.

Gabriel has been out for a while now, he is not a factor that changes the game since they had to get along without him for some time now and knew it beforehand. Saka is back, which is good of course, but I wish he had played some more games and it would be his own 10/10.

No doubt that Valencia again revealed something about Real Madrid. It is not the first time this season that Real Madrid can't handle the struggles during the game. Arsenal has to push with all they have, yes.

Oh my bad, you were referring to Gabriel, not Jesus. Yes that is bad news, but that should still leave them with enough power on the field to get themselves a decent advantage over Real Madrid for the game in Madrid.

[irhact]

With what happened today, i think Madrid should be weary of Arsenal because they actually didn’t start their best team against Everton which only means 1 thing. They are all in for the champions league and champions league only because aside that they do not have any other glory to fight for this season which will make it more like a do or die affair for them, . Having saka back will give them a big morale boost.

I believe Arsenal were actually preparing for the Champions League fixture ahead of them and that is why they have some of their key players reserved in that game and probably didn't bother so much about  the result,  the even drew the game meanwhile Madrid  yesterday Madrid  did similar thing as they lost their game yesterday,  I didn't  expect  they were  going  to do such but it happened,  and it feels like it's all in preparation for the Champions League fixture ahead and so all teams are trying  to be careful  enough  to keep their  players preserved for that game ahead so they will get only  the best from the champions league, for Arsenal they will be giving their best in this game and they have got the hime advantage of which  they will  make sure to gwt victory at Emirates.

Real Madrid is facing worst problem in their defence compared to the Arsenal. I personally rated their defence is much weaker compared to the Arsenal. They have so many old CBs, which is slow as fuck.

They lack of defense options compared to the Arsenal. They have no good and stable defenders. That's why they're in disadvantage compared to the Arsenal. Their lost against a team that nearly enter relegation zone is also acceptable.

They can only rely upon their attacking line up, which is far better than Arsenal. They must score as many goals as possible to get save zone.

Basically both teams are not in optimal condition with a list of injured players besides that both Real Madrid and Arsenal have experienced disappointing results in their last match in their local league, with their current performance it is still difficult to determine who will win. On paper Madrid has above average players but we have to consider Arsenal as the host in this match, I have seen the chances of both teams in the betting exchange.



The chances are still the same as before although it is possible that there will be a slight change ahead of the match later I think the bookies will still lean towards Arsenal, meaning Arsenal has a greater chance of winning. This is a first leg betting prediction but for the chance to qualify for the next phase Madrid has a great chance even if the result at the Emirates stadium later they lose at the Bernabeu they will take revenge.

The match against Valencia shows that Real Madrid is very doubtful to get a victory in the match with Arsenal in the champions league quarter-final match later, yes maybe I have to admit that Real Madrid's defense is very bad and Ancelotti did not learn from the mistakes in the defeat to Real Sociedad, the defeat to Valencia 2-1 when it must be far behind its rival Barcelona who remains consistent with its victory, and we will never know that maybe the champions league this season belongs to Barcelona.

Real Madrid lost against Valencia in La Liga I'd say it's definitely a bad thing for them as they have an important Champions League ahead of them and this poor performance against Valencia could have a bad effect on their match against Arsenal in the Champions League. If Real Madrid players need rest then the manager should give them some rest but I think they don't need rest because there was a long international break but they rested. Real Madrid will surely want to forget a bad match and plan for the upcoming matches. They need to do well in La Liga, including the Champions League, because if they continue to perform poorly in La Liga, they may lose the league title to Barcelona.

[YOSHIE]

I believe Arsenal were actually preparing for the Champions League fixture ahead of them

Setelah saya melihat Arsenal vs. Chelsea dengan skor (1-0) dan Arsenal vs. Fulham (2-1) saya mulai yakin Arsenal akan masuk ke banak Liga Champions UEFA 2025–2026 dah Piala Interkontinental FIFA 2025 In the future, although currently Liverpool and Barcelona are ranked to [1] & [2] and Arsenal are ranked [3].

For that I hope Arsenal vs. Madrid Wednesday: 9/4 can show the best in the Champions League this time, although a little hard struggle I hope Mikel Arteta is not wrong to reduce the best players at Arsenal, such as William Saliba, Martin, Saka and others.

I don't even know what odds to consider attractive here. On paper, 2.39 against Real, who have a return game at home in hand (and therefore are not very motivated to win here and now) looks good, but Arsenal have disappointed so many times that this risk seems unjustified. I think 3.15 is a good risk compensation. Real Madrid are on a losing streak and are unhappy with Barcelona's increasing lead, so maybe they'll be angry (and extra motivated) in this game because of that.

Arsenal has a lot of injuries. They have very important players injured. Saka, Ødegaard are important injured players. Real Madrid will go into the game with fewer injuries and will probably be able to turn this into an advantage for them. Real Madrid is a team for big games and they have done extraordinary things in every big game in the Champions League. I think Real Madrid will be the team that will win against Arsenal.

Why are we all acting surprised as if Real Madrid was in form to beat Valencia? It's humiliating to see a club that Barcelona thrash 7-1 coming over to win Real Madrid 2-1 at Santiago Bernabéu. This is not just appropriate in the eyes of eye concentration. Why are you comparing Real Madrid performance in La Liga to the UEFA Champions League? The difference is clearly straight because Real Madrid have a good record in the UCL. They've been eliminating every oppositions they've come in contact with and bracing victories with ease eftorts.

Barcelona are lifting the La Liga title this season because it's clearly obvious that Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid have shown inconvenient positions and inconsistency in matches. Barcelona are portraying good games and making winning looks smooth for them.

Now they have lose against valencia who knows if that's the end of thier luck............this is why anyone who is predicting this match to work in the favour of real madrid need to be extremely careful, because this thier previous match has just made me lose the confidence I had for them before.

I also have the same thoughts as you. Because however, seeing Real Madrid lose at their own headquarters by a team that is actually considered ordinary, namely Valencia, really made me also doubt their strength in the end. But maybe in the Champions League they won't let us down. But because the opponent we are facing is Arsenal, everything makes us doubt which team should be the favourite. Because Arsenal have just been held to a draw by Everton in the Premier League.

I think it all makes it harder for us to predict future games. And in the first leg Arsenal might have a slight advantage because the match will take place at the Emirates stadium which is Arsenal's headquarters. So those who bet on Real Madrid must be careful.
