Giving madrid 3.05 odds against arsenal is what am not too convinced about because I don't know the criteria used in giving this odds by the bookmakers because even if you say that it's because of recent matches that the two sides has played arsenal has not been convincing in their games so giving arsenal 2.38 against Madrid is not in the best interest of arsenal because arsenal will be going into this game next week with a false confidence that will likely hunt them, but for we as gambler's it's an opportunity for us to make some money from this game because I will definitely bet on this game because madrid is going to win this game

I checked the odds on Stake.com and it’s 3.15 odds for Real Madrid and 3.25 odds for a draw. These odds are crazy, looks like Stake are giving bettors a blank cheque. The odds do not match the reality on ground, despite Real Madrid’s poor performance in their last game they are still a strong force to contend with especially in the champions league and Arsenal will need to be at their best performance if they hope to defeat Real Madrid or get an advantage in their first left tie.

I think the odd you saw on Stake is as a result of the current form of Real Madrid, losing against Valencia for Real Madrid would have been a bigger problem for Real Madrid if Barcelona should have won against Real Betis because 6 points gap between Barcelona and Real Madrid wouldn't have been an easy one for Real Madrid to catch up and Arsenal play a 1:1 draw against Everton though nothing to say about the game because Everton may not be in the best of form but they hardly lose against big teams this season but the real game will be in the champions League competition game which Real Madrid still remains one of the favorites in the competition regardless of their poor performances in their league matches.
3.15 odd for Real Madrid team to win against Arsenal is a good odd and 3.25 odd for a draw is a nice odd if you ask me I think Stake is given bettors opportunities to take the advantage to win because I still find it difficult to believe that Arsenal win against Real Madrid in England because Real Madrid team doesn't joke when it comes to this stage in the champions League.

I believe that the odds will change in no time. The odd is given based on the players on ground that will play the match and many more but I still don't see it as what one should use to make his decisions on which club to bet on. Madrid is more stable in UCL, and they don't mess up with their matches. The problem is their defense, Courtois is not going to be on the goal post tomorrow which can be an advantage to the host.

I doubt it is because of the players that are on ground. You rarely see a scenario where the bookies set odd based on the players that are available. What will be the case here why Madrid odd kept increasing is due to their recent form. They've lost and drew within a 3 weeks' timeframe, also having a weak defense while Arsenal drew last game and have been unbeaten for 11 games straight in the Premier League. Another reason is in the last stage of the UCL, Arsenal won PSV with an aggregate of 11:2. Which is quite a huge record we have seen in the UCL final stage in a long time. All of these statistics were gathered to determine the odd difference.
