Champions League 24/25: Real Madrid vs Arsenal second leg betting tips

In a game where Arsenal are going to have a lot of defending to do, Real Madrid may often look to target Lewis-Skelly due to his inexperience at this level, forcing the teenager into clumsy challenges.

The left back is no stranger to a booking, and won't be shy about breaking up Real Madrid attacks to give his side some respite, but facing the likes of Rodrygo and Mbappe is a challenging prospect for someone playing in their first Champions League quarter-final.

While we do expect Arsenal to progress through to the semi-finals, it will be a difficult night for their defenders - particularly their full backs - having to keep concentration levels high throughout a barrage of Real Madrid attacks.

If Real Madrid and Arsenal set up how we expect them to, the Premier League outfit will be dealing with wave after wave of attack - but boasting one of the best defensive record in Europe, Arsenal will be determined to stand strong.

With that in mind, Ladbrokes is backing a host of corners to be sent their way, with Real Madrid seeing plenty of the ball in dangerous positions leading to blocks and saves that go behind.

Real Madrid often win a lot of corners in games thanks to their high output of shots, so David Raya will be a busy man between the sticks for Arsenal. All the impetus is on the Spanish giants to go for goal as much as they can - and they will do exactly that.

With Real Madrid needing three goals to even draw level, they'll be flooding people forward at every opportunity, leaving space for Arsenal's front three to counter and put the tie to bed - with Saka likely to be at the heart of any Arsenal attacks.

While his defensive duties are likely to take precedence in this UCL quarter-final second leg, Saka will be key to giving Arsenal's back five some respite as he charges up the pitch, potentially looking to grab a goal and really put the game beyond the holders.

Real Madrid's defence has nothing to lose going into the game, and may over-commit at times, allowing Saka to do what he does best and cause teams real problems on that right-hand side. He may not have enough to beat Courtois, but we're backing him to test the Belgian shot-stopper at least once.
