Atletico vs Arsena Soccer Prediction Today
Atletico Madrid will welcome Arsenal at the Estadio Metropolitano de Madrid following a 1-1 draw in the semi-final first leg in London.
Due to the late and extremely fortuitous equalizer by Antoine Griezmann, the “Rojiblancos” through the away goal now have a slight advantage.It was an important goal, as the Madrid were outnumbered after only a few minutes and conceded the opening goal by Alexandra Lacazette after about an hour.
Strong walls and fast switching game, the Spaniards scored the away goal to equalize shortly before the end.Atletico thus laid an important foundation for the second leg. The equalizer already gives the Madrid residents a goalless draw for promotion to the final.
This should be achieved above all by the considerable home strength of the “Rojiblancos”. In the league, the team of Diego Simeone is still unbeaten before home crowd, as well as in the Europa League.
The only two defeats at the Estadio Metropolitano de Madrid put it in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey against Sevilla (1: 2) and on the second round of the Champions League against Chelsea (1: 2).Since the “descent” into the EL as a group knight in the premier class, the “Rojiblancos” did not even make a single point at home and did not even concede a goal.
This should remain so in the second leg against the Gunners, but after the dismissal of Sime Vrsaljko and the defeats of Juanfran (also right-back) and Luis Felipe, Atletico fall from three full-back.
In addition, the Spaniards have to do without the instructions of Diego Simeone.
The Argentine coach was banned to the stands after the red card of his Croatian defender against Arsenal.Perhaps a small advantage for the Gunners, who had to react in the first leg to the failures of Santi Cazorla, Henrik Mkhitaryan and Mohamed Elneny and the EL ineligible Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and successfully converted.
The Englishmen made their point in the first leg against the low Spaniards visibly good, but failed on the pole and Atletico goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
In the second leg, the Gunners must be much callous to make the climb to the final.
Soccer Prediction of the Day Atletico vs Arsena
But London failed in the last few weeks but already in the league. Despite a top offensive Arsenal scored in the second round in seven matches in each case only one goal or even without scoring.
Due to this weaker yield and a strong vulnerability on the defensive (23 goals in the last 15 matches), the team of Arsene Wenger can only boast a little impressive back round record of seven wins, two draws and six defeats.
The away appearances of the Londoners are just as worried: only three “threes” and four draws were available for the Gunners in the 16 previous matches in the distance. With rank 12 in the away table, the team from Highbury belongs to the away weaker of the league.As a result, Londoners have been stuck in sixth place on the table for 17 matches, a rank that just allows them to qualify for the Europa League qualification.
And although the Champions League places are no longer available for the Gunners, Arsene Wengers conclusion is yet to be managed the successful qualification for the premier class.
As? About winning the Europa League – as Jose Mourinho did with his Red Devils last year.In the course of this, the Gunners had only twice beaten – against the 1st FC Cologne in the group stage (0: 1) and in the second leg of the second round against Östersunds FK (1: 2).
As a result, the Londoners had to deal with Milan and CSKA Moscow with much better-known teams.
In the round of 16, the team of Arsene Wenger won both matches against high-performing Milanese. In the following round, the English were able to successfully move into the semi-finals after a 2-1 win against the Russians and a 2-2 draw in Moscow.
After the 1-1 draw in London, the Gunners for the semi-final second leg, although the poorer cards due to the away goal of the Madrilenians, but could benefit from the many failures in the Spaniard.
Also, that Diego Simeone is not allowed to join the team during the game and can not motivate them, is a bitter loss to the “Rojiblancos”.
