Draw<\/strong><\/td>\n16\/5 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(23.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nArsenal have yet to drop points in the Champions League this season but this represents a tougher challenge. The Gunners have beaten Athletic Bilbao and Olympiakos to this point, whilst Atletico Madrid lose their opening fixture against Liverpool before overcoming Eintracht Frankfurt last time out. These two sides look incredibly well matched and we don’t think there will be much between them resulting in a draw.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n17\/20 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(54.1%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nDespite us backing the draw, we think this could still be quite a high scoring game. Arsenal come into the fixture having won both of their Champions League games so far by a 2-0 scoreline, whilst Atletico game have seen plenty of goals, with the Spanish side’s games averaging 5.5 goals per game in Europe this season. There could be plenty of goalmouth action at either end of the pitch and we’re backing the 2.5 goal line to be beaten.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
