Betting Preview
Arsenal have made a flawless start to their 2025/26 Champions League campaign, two wins from two, four goals scored, none conceded. The only criticism? They could’ve won by more.
Back-to-back 2-0 victories over Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos leave the Gunners among just six teams with a perfect record, alongside Inter Milan, the only other side yet to concede. That form has them well-placed in the league-phase table, with a last-16 spot already within sight.

Arteta’s men have now won 11 straight Champions League group-stage games at the Emirates without conceding, the longest active run in the competition. Their 1-0 weekend win over Fulham also made it five victories in a row across all competitions.
Atletico Madrid arrive full of intent after thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 to bounce back from their loss to Liverpool. Simeone’s side have scored in all 11 matches this season, but their away record is a worry, five games on the road, zero wins.
