Atletico Madrid v Arsenal Predictions for Thursday's Europa League semi-final second leg at Wanda Metropolitano. The 1-1 draw at Emirates last week puts the Spanish side in a much favourable position ahead of the return leg in Madrid, yet one goal without conceding could prove enough for the Gunners to advance so it's them who will turn up here.

Atletico Madrid v Arsenal: Team News

As the season in La Liga is closing down, Europa League is solely where Atletico can win silverware yet, as La Liga champions have already been decided while the Madrid club will certainly finish in the top four to book their place in next year's Champions League activities.

However, Diego Simeone's side have fallen short this term with no trophy so far, which makes qualification to the final against Arsenal at Wanda, where they have just once lost in 2018, the only chance to bring in some.

While Atleti have secured their presence in the Champions League for next season, English side Arsenal are now struggling for a place there after having failed to pull off a top-four finish in the Premier League with 14 points adrift of Tottenham in fourth.

Their away form seems to have cost them yet another promising season as Wenger's men are without a single point from their last five league outings but have won four of their six Europa League trips this campaign.

Teams' Potential Starting Line-ups:

Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Oblak; Hernandez, Godin, Gimenez, Partey; Koke, Niguez, Gabi, Correa; Costa, Griezmann.

Arsenal (4-3-2-1): Ospina; Monreal, Koscielny, Mustafi, Bellerin; Wilshere, Xhaka, Ramsey; Mkhitaryan, Ozil; Lacazette.
