Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid

Arsenal welcome Atletico Madrid to Emirates Stadium for a league phase clash in the UEFA Champions League.

The Gunners are perfect in the competition so far and have looked almost unstoppable lately. They should have the upper hand over the Spaniards, who have struggled on their travels this season.

Arsenal News

Arsenal claimed a 2-0 home victory over Olympiacos in their previous Champions League fixture, with Gabriel Martinelli and Bukayo Saka getting the goals. That was their second win in the competition, having begun with a 2-0 triumph at Athletic Bilbao.

The Gunners have been near perfect this season and head into this clash with seven wins in their last eight matches, including a 1-0 victory over Fulham last weekend. Mikel Arteta's team are also unbeaten in their five home matches so far, picking up four wins on this run.

Arsenal often make fast starts and have scored first in six of their last eight matches across all competitions. At the heart of their impressive form is a sturdy defence, which has ensured six of their last seven matches have produced under 2.5 goals.

Atletico Madrid News

Atletico Madrid picked up a 5-1 home victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in their previous Champions League fixture. That was a solid return to winning ways for Diego Simeone's team, who were beaten 3-2 at Liverpool in their opening fixture.

The Spaniards’ overall form has been solid lately as they are unbeaten in their last six matches across all competitions, earning a 1-0 La Liga victory over Osasuna last weekend. However, they have found things difficult on their travels and are winless in their five away matches so far.

One of the problems for Atletico on their travels is that they often struggle to create much going forward. This has seen three of their last four away matches across all competitions produce under 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Atletico Madrid have never lost in this fixture, with two wins and as many draws from four previous matches against Arsenal. Both teams met in the Europa League in 2018, with the Spaniards earning a 1-1 away draw before winning 1-0 at home in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Arsenal v Atletico Madrid

Arsenal will come into this clash full of confidence and having scored first in six of their last eight matches, a repeat could be considered. The Gunners have also won seven of their last eight matches, and a similar outcome is on the cards.

Six of Arsenal's last seven matches have produced under 2.5 goals, while three of Atletico Madrid’s last four have served up a similar outcome. A repeat could be expected in Tuesday's clash.
