Tip 1
Madrid’s star signing thrives on the big stage, particularly on those European nights, scoring 24 goals in 34 knockout appearances.
This season, the Frenchman is averaging 0.73 goals per 90 in this competition and lends plenty of weight to the 43/20 on show for him to net in North London.
He also enjoys it against the English clubs, scoring 10 in 17 appearances against Manchester City, Manchester United, Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle United so far.

Tip 2
We all know at this point that Real Madrid are a different beast when it comes to the Champions League, and that is largely down to their reactive nature under Carlo Ancelotti.
At the prices available, Madrid look to be the value bet, especially considering that Arsenal have had a recent wobble, with three draws in their last five matches against Manchester United, PSV and most recently Everton.
Although their away form has displayed some holes in their impenetrability, the fact that Arsenal are still an untested entity on the biggest of European nights, coupled with the fact that the hosts’ attacking output has been underwhelming since the 7-1 demolition of Eindhoven six games ago, we believe it’s worth siding with the visitors to edge this contest.

The Gunners were held to a 1-1 draw at Goodison Park at Saturday lunchtime in the Premier League, after Leandro Trossard’s strike was cancelled out by a second half Iliman Ndiaye penalty.
Gabriel Jesus, Kai Havertz, Gabriel and Takehiro Tomiyasu will all be forced to watch on from the sidelines on Tuesday, as will Riccardo Calafiori and the banned Raheem Sterling.
Arsenal Predicted XI: Raya; Timber, Saliba, Kiwior, Lewis-Skelly; Odegaard, Partey, Rice; Saka, Merino, Martinelli.
Los Blancos had similar disappointment on domestic duties last weekend, as Valencia came away from the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday with all three points in the pair’s La Liga clash.
Aurelien Tchouameni is also banned for this first leg due to an accumulation of yellow cards. He will be joined by Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao on the sidelines, who are both out injured for the remainder of the season with knee problems, however, Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy and Dani Ceballos are expected to return after missing Saturday’s defeat.
Real Madrid Predicted XI: Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Mendy; Valverde, Camavinga; Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr; Mbappe.
