Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Steve Ashfield | in Europa League Predictions
The clock has started to tick and soon the reign of Arsene Wenger will come to an end. While we begin the search for another manager whose first five letters of his christian name identically match the first five letters of the team he manages, Wenger will be hoping to end his time at the club with them back in the Champions League. His side face a tough task tough as they take on Atletico Madrid who have won this competition in the past Arsenal go into this tie in good form after a 4-1 home win over West Ham at the weekend and they have won their last six home games scoring at least three times in each of those matches. With the exception of a disappointing Milan side, the standard of opposition hasn't been that great, no way near the calibre of Atletico Madrid who are second in La Liga. Arsenal have poor away form so will need to get a lead here but that's not an easy task.
Atletico Madrid began the season in the Champions League but finished third in their group behind Roma and Chelsea but they only lost one game in that group and drew all three of their away games with two 0-0 draws with the other finishing 1-1. Moved into the Europa League, they had won five games in a row before a 1-0 loss at Sporting Lisbon in the second leg of their quarter final. The weekend saw Atletico draw 0-0 at home to Real Betis and that kept them second in La Liga. They are bound to head to London looking to keep it tight and that's why the suggested bet here is on under 2.5 goals in this game which should leave a tense second leg in Spain.
