Real Madrid is coming into this match not playing in great form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their last 3 matches, but they are coming off of a 1-0 win in their last match which will give them some confidence here. They have also been in much better form at home as they have won 5 of their last 7 matches there with only 1 loss in that span, and their attack has been scoring a lot more goals in these matches as well. They are going up against an Arsenal side that has been in great form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches with no losses in that span, but they have certainly been more vulnerable in their away matches as they have drawn their last 2 as well as 3 of their last 4 matches. They are coming into this match with a 3-0 lead on aggregate from the 1st leg at home and they do not need to much here but protect their lead so they will likely come into this match leaning more on their defense as they have only allowed 3 goals in their last 5 matches. Real Madrid has been in much better form at home though with a much stronger attack as well, and this is still the defending champions of the competition so they are not going to go down easily here on their home pitch. Real Madrid has no choice but to push their attack in this match and even if they cannot come back down 3-0, they are going to show some pride at home as the defending champions and cut down on that Arsenal lead. Real Madrid will win this match at home and cut down on that lead.
