Will Real also win in London?
“Las Blancas” are heading for the Champions League semi-finals! Real Madrid Femenino already set the course for advancing to the next round with last week’s 2-0 win. Even if they lose in London, the Madrilenians can still qualify for the semi-finals if they lose in normal time. However, our Arsenal vs. Real Madrid Women betting tip is for the “Blancas” to win.
In the first leg, Real Madrid Femenino already put in a strong performance and defied the Gunners’ offense. With the coup in “El Clásico” against FC Barcelona, there was another surprising victory to celebrate last weekend. The Madrilenians won against the league leaders in the Spanish top flight 3-1 on foreign soil.
Arsenal – Statistics & current form
Arsenal are on thin ice after the defeat in the first leg and are currently fearing for their place in the semi-finals of the UWCL 2024/25. The Gunners suffered a bitter defeat on foreign soil last week and even failed to score in the away game against Real Madrid. In the second leg, Arsenal will have to win by at least two goals to even force extra time against Real Madrid Femenino.
Renée Slegers’ team is relying on home advantage in particular. The Gunners have only lost twice at home in their last 13 competitive games. Arsenal have even won 11 of those 13 home games and are therefore also confident going into Wednesday’s clash against the Madrilenians. The betting providers with a German license see Arsenal as favorites in any case.
For a betting tip on the English representatives, the odds are currently only in the 1.40 range. In the UWCL 2024/25, Arsenal have won every home game so far. The Gunners also picked up a win against FC Bayern, among others. Arsenal won the encounter against the Munich side 3-2. Last weekend, Slegers’ side also built up their confidence ahead of the second leg against Real Madrid with a win over Liverpool.
Can Arsenal take the momentum from the league game against LFC with them?
There was a clear home win (4-0) against the Reds in the league. Arsenal not only held the LFC offense at bay, but also flexed their muscles in offense. With 45 goals in 17 matches, the Gunners are currently the second-best attacking team in the league. Only Chelsea have scored more goals than the Londoners in the current league campaign.
Internationally, Arsenal had bolstered their statistics, particularly in the group stage of the UWCL. The result in the quarter-final first leg against Real Madrid was therefore all the more surprising. Although Renée Slegers’ team played with an xG ratio of 1.23, the Madrilenians did not manage to score.
If they can improve their efficiency, Arsenal can still dream of reaching the semi-finals of the Champions League. Compared to the team that won comfortably against Liverpool last weekend, there are no major changes expected on the Gunners’ side.

Predicted Arsenal lineup:

Real Madrid – statistics & current form
Real Madrid are currently riding a wave of euphoria. After the impressive home victory in the quarter-final first leg of the 2024/25 Champions League, “Las Blancas” caused the next big surprise on the national stage. For the first time ever, Real Madrid Femenino won “El Clásico” against league leaders FC Barcelona Femeni. The Madrilenians even beat the Catalans 3-1 in Catalonia in the explosive league clash.
Alberto Toril’s team will therefore not be hiding when they travel to London, especially since the “Blancas” have already notched up three wins in four away games in the current competition. They have only lost to Chelsea. Real Madrid only just missed out on a point against the Blues, who are top of the English league, in the group stage of the UWCL 2024/25.
Judging by their results in their last competitive away games, Real Madrid are capable of pulling off a coup in London. The Toril side has won five of their last six away games, scoring at a rate of 2.67 per match. If Real scores at least once against the Gunners, Wednesday’s opponents need three goals to even force extra time.
Will Real Madrid surprise against the Londoners again?
The “Blancas” will not hide against their upcoming opponents from England – even if their record against English clubs needs improvement. In ten matches, they have played 3-3-4, with all four defeats coming against Chelsea. Two of those four defeats have come to Real in the current season, both in the group stage of the UWCL 2024/25.
Alberto Toril is not expected to make any major changes to the starting lineup that recently won El Clásico against FC Barcelona. In the first leg, Caicedo and del Castillo gave the Madrilenians the victory on home soil. Athenea del Castillo came on as a substitute in the final stages of the game and scored the 2-0 goal after just nine minutes.
It was one of a total of three attempts on goal that Real Madrid had in the entire second half. It remains to be seen how the “Blancas” will perform against the Londoners in the second leg, but the Spanish guests can be trusted to score at least one goal this time as well.
Predicted Real Madrid lineup:
Misa – Carmona, Mendez, Lakrar, Garcia – Angeldal, Leupolz, Toletti – Weir, Caicedo – Bruun
