Odds no doubts are in favour of Arsenal, one main reason for this might be because they are playing at home. In football, result of game may differ with odds and that we have seen so many times. To me both teams are equally capable of winning the first quarter final and it's difficult to predict the winner. Arsenal now out from EPL title contest race after they played a draw against Everton and they have full focus on UCL title now. Both teams have issues regarding player availability due to injuries and suspension, so let's just wait and see who wins the first quarter final.
I also predict Arsenal will win this match with a narrow score, the reason is because Real Madrid performance in the last 3 matches has only been able to achieve 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, they have also conceded 8 goals in those three matches, Madrid has also just lost in the last game in front of their supporters.
Some Real Madrid players such as Vazquez, Vinicius Jr, Modric, Endrick, Rudiger and Camavinga must be careful in this game because they only have one yellow card left to serve their UCL suspension, as a result they are at risk of missing the second leg.
Despite the game will be tough, Arsenal will beat Real Madrid before the end of the game because they will be playing with different tactics that will make Real Madrid loose control of the game. That is the reason many people will predict for the favour of Arsenal to win Real Madrid 2:1, but if Real Madrid coach work on their defense, I guess Real Madrid will secure goal from this game.
I know, Real Madrid know how to play UEFA champion league very well, but it will be hard for them to escape Arsenal in this stage, because some Arsenal players have recovered from injuries which it will make their players to do what will make people to believe that they will not miss this trophy.
