Arsenal vs Real Madrid prediction today’s game? Arsenal vs Real Madrid odds and betting tips? Here is our Arsenal vs Real Madrid prediction today for Wednesday’s Quarterfinal match at Bernabéu 2nd leg. You will also find the updated Arsenal vs Real Madrid odds, betting tips, H2H-stats and starting lineups.
Arsenal stunned the footballing world with a commanding 3-0 win at the Emirates in the first leg, thanks to two stunning free-kicks from Declan Rice and a clinical finish by Mikel Merino. The Gunners dominated proceedings against a shell-shocked Madrid side, who now face a near-impossible task in the Spanish capital.
History, however, suggests it’s not entirely beyond Los Blancos. Real have lost the first leg of a European knockout tie by 3+ goals five times before—only once have they progressed, famously turning over a 4-1 deficit to beat Derby County 5-1 in 1975-76.
Still, the Bernabéu factor looms large. Real Madrid have made stunning comebacks in recent seasons, most notably against Manchester City and Ath. Madrid But beating Arsenal by four goals—a team they’ve never defeated competitively—would require something truly historic.

Arsenal Team News – Injury & Suspension Update
Mikel Arteta has been juggling with multiple injuries this season, but his team delivered a masterclass performance in the first leg, despite being without several key names.

Gabriel Jesus (knee) – Still recovering and unavailable for selection.

Predicted Lineup:
Raya
Timber – Saliba – Kiwior – Lewis-Skelly
Odegaard – Partey – Rice*
Saka – Merino – Martinelli
(*Jorginho could start if Partey is not fit)
The return of Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and Mikel Merino adds quality and control, while Merino’s red-hot form against Real Madrid (4 goals) will be vital in unsettling the hosts again.
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid must overcome both the 3-0 scoreline and injury woes, but the return of some big names could ignite the spark they desperately need.
The Bernabéu has witnessed many miracles, and Ancelotti will be banking on experience and star power.

Aurelien Tchouameni – Returns after serving first-leg suspension.
Jude Bellingham & Vinicius Jr. – Both were rested vs Alaves and expected to start fresh.
Real Madrid Formation and Predicted Starting XI (4-2-3-1):
Ancelotti may opt for an aggressive, attacking formation as they need to score at least three unanswered goals to take the game to extra time.
Formation: 4-2-3-1
Predicted Lineup:
Courtois
Valverde – Asencio – Rudiger – Alaba
Tchouameni – Modric
Rodrygo – Bellingham – Vinicius Jr
Mbappe
Real Madrid’s attack is stacked with quality, and with Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius, and Mbappe all starting, they will look to test Arsenal’s backline from the get-go.
