Atletico Madrid vs Arsenal Predictions
Recent scoring runs keep both ends active
Atletico Madrid have scored nine goals and conceded 11 across their last five matches, a sequence that keeps games open over short stretches. Both teams have scored in seven of their last eight fixtures, including this recent run where defensive control has not held for a full match.
Arsenal bring a similar away pattern into this semi-final. Both teams have scored in four of their last five away games, and that frequency holds across this current travel spell. The Gunners also arrive off a win over Newcastle on Saturday, a result that steadies the mood but does not remove the recent stretch of just two wins in seven matches.
At the Metropolitano, Atletico’s last home clean sheet came in mid-March. Since then, goals have appeared at both ends with regularity, including a 2-2 draw against Real Sociedad and matches where they have both scored and conceded at least twice in each of their last three outings. Even with a late win over Athletic Bilbao ending a four-game winless run, the scorelines remain open rather than controlled.
Given Atletico’s 9 scored and 11 conceded in five games alongside Arsenal’s four BTTS results in their last five away trips, Both Teams To Score makes plenty of appeal at 1.90.

Alvarez return sharpens a consistent scoring run
Julian Alvarez stands out as the central angle in the anytime goalscorer market ahead of this first leg. He is expected to return to the starting lineup after missing the last two matches, having already been on the bench against Athletic Bilbao.
His recent numbers carry the weight here. Alvarez has scored five goals and provided three assists in his last six starts for the club, a return that keeps his involvement high whenever he starts. In the Champions League this season, he has reached nine goals, a tally that places him firmly among the consistent scorers in this competition phase.
There is a team backdrop but it stays secondary. Atletico have scored nine times in their last five matches, so attacking output remains present even through a mixed run, while the absence over the last two games frames his return as a minutes boost rather than a role change.
Five goals and three assists in six starts combined with nine Champions League strikes keeps his scoring frequency in focus, and backing Julian Alvarez to score anytime looks a decent bet at 3.10.
