Arsenal vs Real Madrid Preview

Arsenal got perhaps the toughest assignment when the draw for the Champions League quarter-finals was made. But the Gunners will feel confident after their routing of PSV in the last round, even if 15-time champions Real are packed with class, including Mbappe, Bellingham, and Vinicius Jr.

The Gunners have been in indifferent form recently, which has seen their Premier League hopes fade. Last time out, they drew with lowly Everton. But Madrid haven't been sparkling recently either, with their last game a disappointing 2-1 loss to Valencia.

There were fears Madrid would lose several top stars for this game, but UEFA were kind in their investigation of celebrations after the Atletico game. However, they will still miss several big names, including Aurelien Tchouameni and Dani Carvajal. Arsenal will be without several players too, including the recently injured Gabriel and the suspended Raheem Sterling.

Prediction

Arsenal go into the game as favourites, but haven't done much to justify this tag in recent outings. But Real also haven't been at their best, despite their bevy of superstar talent. This is a tough one to predict, but a win for Real Madrid looks to have the most attractive odds.

Bayern Munich vs Inter Milan Preview

Will Harry Kane finally win a trophy this season? Well, the Bundesliga looks wrapped up, but if he wants to also experience Champions League glory, Bayern will need to get past Inter Milan, who travel to Allianz Arena while sitting pretty atop Serie A.

Bayern go into this game having not experienced defeat in a month, and impressively overcame the dangerous Leverkusen in the previous round. Inter haven't lost since mid-February, although most matches in that time against high-level teams have ended in draws, including the recent 1-1 draw against AC Milan.

Munich will have to make do without the influential Jamal Musiala, plus Alphonso Davies, Dayot Upamecano, Kingsley Coman, and Manuel Neuer are all out. However, Harry Kane should be fit, despite fears of an injury. For Inter, Mehdi Taremi, Piotr Zielinski, and Denzel Dumfries are injured, while Kristjan Asllani will serve a one-game suspension.

Prediction

Both teams go into this match understrength, but this match should still be fascinating. While Inter will be confident, Bayern must remain the favourites, even with the undroppable Musiala out.
