Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Arsenal vs Atlético Madrid

Arsenal

Mikel Arteta's side have earned the maximum six points in the first two matches of the 2025/26 Champions League main stage and are currently in the top group of teams in the overall standings. They must continue this pace if they intend to remain in the top eight, which would give them a direct entry into the Round of 16. Arsenal can look back on their strong start to the current season, as in addition to their success in European competition, they are also top of the English Premier League. Their depth allows them to successfully compete in two competitions simultaneously, meaning they clearly have no intention of slowing down and will strive to reach peak form during this crucial period of the campaign.

Atlético Madrid

The start of the new season has been a difficult and ambiguous one for the Madrid team, who failed to perform well in either the Spanish league or the Champions League.

In La Liga, Diego Simeone's men suffered a few unnecessary setbacks, but can boast a convincing victory over Real Madrid in the Madrid derby. Atlético remains a very unpredictable team with very strong players, capable of beating opponents of any level and class.
