With the Champions League quarter-finals rolling onto Wednesday night, Arsenal and Inter Milan will be looking to punch their respective final four spots.
As the Gunners travel over to Madrid for a heavyweight second-leg showdown against Los Blancos, Inter Milan will also welcome Bayern Munich to the San Siro holding a slender advantage.
Ahead of what looks set to be another dramatic night of Champions League action, we have taken a look at some of the most appealing Wednesday betting tips.
20:00 Real Madrid vs Arsenal
Long since accepting that their domestic title dreams have gone up in smoke for another year, it is no secret that Arsenal have placed all of their eggs in the Champions League basket. While Mikel Arteta’s camp might have been frustrated over the weekend as they eventually had to settle for a 1-1 stalemate against Brentford, Wednesday’s guests laid down a sensational European marker last week. Storming their way to a famous 3-0 victory against Los Blancos in north London, Arsenal are firmly sat on the cusp of a semi-final ticket. However, although Arteta’s side might be just 90 minutes away from collecting an iconic Champions League scalp, they have struggled to find much fluidity outside of north London. Despite securing what was a record-breaking 7-1 romp against Dutch outfit PSV on March 4th, Arsenal have won just a pair of their previous six showdowns away from the Emirates.
While Real Madrid might have dragged themselves to a hard-fought 1-0 victory away at Alaves over the weekend, the pressure on Carlo Ancelotti’s shoulders remains at a boiling point. With large sections of the Los Blancos support making their frustrations abundantly clear, the reigning European champions find their Champions League dreams hanging by a thread. Blown away when they travelled to north London last week and slumping to that 3-0 drumming, Wednesday’s hosts are seeking what would be another remarkable comeback here. Last seen at the Bernabeu getting hit with a dramatic 2-1 loss against Valencia, Madrid have gained an unwanted reputation for their defensive struggles on home soil. Along with recording just a single clean sheet in front of their own supporters since the start of January, Ancelotti’s camp have also shipped eight goals at the Bernabeu since returning from March’s international break.

20:00 Inter Milan vs Bayern Munich
Springing a first-leg upset over in Munich last week as they eventually left the Allianz with a 2-1 victory to show for their troubles, Inter Milan will be relishing a return to the San Siro on Wednesday night. Still leading the chase at the top of the Serie A standings and with their sights set on completing an iconic domestic and European sweep in 2025, Simone Inzaghi’s men also picked up some crucial momentum over the weekend. Claiming a thumping 3-1 win against Cagliari, the Italian heavyweights have gained a fearsome reputation for their dominance on home soil. In fact, Inter Milan have not suffered a single defeat across any format at the San Siro since way back on September 22nd. Likewise, smelling the chance to make another statement here, Inzaghi’s side will also be excited by their European dominance in front of their own supporters. It should be highlighted, the Nerazzurri have won all of their previous six Champions League battles on home soil by an aggregate score of 12-1.
Missing out on the chance to claim a crucial first-leg advantage last week as they fell to that 2-1 loss, Vincent Kompany’s men have a major battle on their hands. Forced to settle for an action-packed 2-2 stalemate at home against domestic rivals Borussia Dortmund over the weekend, the former Burnley boss will have a headache over his side’s defensive issues. Despite being sat in pole position to reclaim their Bundesliga crown this season, Wednesday’s guests are without a clean sheet from their last five consecutive appearances across all competitions. Chasing a deficit when they travel to Milan in midweek, Bayern Munich have also shown some extended European inconsistencies on foreign soil. Winning just a trio of their previous nine Champions League showdowns away from the Allianz – a run that stems back to December 2023 – a home draw no bet can be found at appealing odds here.
