Atlético Madrid are at the most exciting stage of their season with this Champions League semi-final against Arsenal.

The first leg will be played at the Metropolitano, just as it was against Tottenham, so Simeone’s men will need to capitalise on the momentum and support from their fans to secure a good result ahead of the return leg.

Double chance: Atlético or draw

Atlético de Madrid have been a reliable team at home throughout the season, winning all their European matches at the Metropolitano this year except against Bodo/Glimt and the second leg against Barça.

We’re backing Atlético not to lose against the Gunners, who have only won two of their last seven matches and just one of their last five official away games.

Tip: Atleti win or draw – 1/2 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if Arsenal do not win the match.

Both teams to score

There are some attractive odds for this prediction, as Atlético Madrid have only failed to score in one home game all season, while Arsenal were the top scorers in the Champions League league phase, failing to score in just one European match this season – the second leg of their tie against Sporting.

Overall, Atlético have scored in their last five official matches, and Arsenal have scored in four of their last five official away games.

Tip: Both teams to score – 19/20 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if both teams score

Both teams to score between one and three goals

This is a combination bet that builds on the previous prediction and offers a good return. Atlético Madrid have scored in ten consecutive matches, but haven’t scored more than three goals in any of them apart from the first leg against Spurs.

Arteta’s side have scored between one and three goals in 13 of their last 15 matches in all competitions, so we expect both teams to help us land this bet.

Tip: Both teams to score between one and three goals – 1/1 @ bet365

Bet Explanation: This bet wins if both teams score, but neither reaches four goals
