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.

Here are our Arsenal vs Real Madrid predictions of the team formations and starting 11 lineups for the Champions League 2025 Quarterfinal match today.
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.
Arsenal will be hoping to maintain their composure under the Bernabéu lights and make it to their first UCL semifinal in 16 years.
Out:
Gabriel Jesus (knee) – Still recovering and unavailable for selection.
Kai Havertz (hamstring) – Expected to miss the second leg.
Gabriel Magalhaes (hamstring) – Yet to return to full training.
Takehiro Tomiyasu (knee) – Sidelined due to ongoing fitness issues.
Riccardo Calafiori (knee) – Remains out with no clear return date.
Suspended:
Doubtful:
Thomas Partey – Picked up a knock against Brentford, being monitored.
Jorginho – Sustained a knock over the weekend, fitness test pending.
Ben White – Missed the Brentford clash with a training injury.
With a healthy lead, Arteta may focus on balance between solidity and offensive threat. Expect a more cautious approach but with enough firepower to hurt Madrid on the counter.
Formation: 4-3-3
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 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.
Out:
Eduardo Camavinga – Suspended due to red card in the first leg.
Eder Militao (knee) – Still sidelined long-term.
Dani Carvajal (knee) – Another long-term absentee.
Doubtful:
Ferland Mendy (muscle issue) – Faces a late fitness test.
Andriy Lunin (calf) – Missed the weekend match; remains doubtful.
Available:
Kylian Mbappe – Cleared to play in Europe despite red card in La Liga.
Aurelien Tchouameni – Returns after serving first-leg suspension.
Jude Bellingham & Vinicius Jr. – Both were rested vs Alaves and expected to start fresh.
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.
If Courtois fails a late fitness test, Andriy Lunin will start in goal after missing the weekend with a calf concern.
Here are the predicted Arsenal vs Real Madrid starting lineups today.
Arsenal starting lineup (XI): Raya, Timber – Saliba – Kiwior – Lewis-Skelly, Odegaard – Partey – Rice, Saka – Merino – Martinelli
Real Madrid starting lineup (XI): Courtois, Valverde – Asencio – Rudiger – Alaba, Tchouameni – Modric, Rodrygo – Bellingham – Vinicius Jr, Mbappe
