Our prediction for this Champions League match
High-flying Atalanta will look to extend their winning run to ten games in all competitions when they take on Real Madrid in the Champions League derby. The Orobici look unstoppable at the moment and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Ademola Lookman, who scored the winner against Milan at the weekend, while both Cuardrado and Scamacca miss out with injuries.
Los Blancos, on the other hand, faced no difficulties in a 3-0 win over Girona and seeing that important attacking duo Rodrygo – Vinicius is back to contention, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Star midfielder Jude Bellingham has overcome his minor injury as well, but the likes of David Alaba, Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, and Ferland Mendy remain in the recovery room.
How the bookies view it: Bookies not sure who to back
As expected considering all I’ve said above, these two teams are pretty evenly priced ahead of this game. At 22bet, the odds on Atalanta are 6/4, while the odds on Real Madrid are 11/8. The odds for a draw are set at 12/5.
Players to watch: Can Mbappe lead Real to an important win?
With nine goals in La Liga, Kylian Mbappe has done well for Real Madrid there, but with just one goal in five games in the Champions League, he has clearly struggled to boost his side’s chances of winning so far. Perhaps now is the time for the Frenchman to shine and with odds of 23/20 on Mbappe to score at 777pub, that’s something to consider.
Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman continues to impress for Atalanta after leading his team to the Europa League win last season. This season, Lookman has eight goals in Serie A and two in the Champions League and odds on him scoring in this game are set at 33/20 in jilipark.
Probable line-ups
With their great run of form, it’s clear that Atalanta haven’t missed much their trio of injured players that includes Gianluca Scamacca, Davide Zappacosta, and Juan Cuadrado, all of which will remain on the sidelines for this game.
Real Madrid also miss a few players at the moment, such as Eder Militao, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, and Eduardo Camavinga, but the return of Vinicius Jr. after a few games will come at a perfect time for the Spanish giants.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi, Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac, Bellanova, Ederson, De Roon, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere, Lookman, Retegui
Real Madrid: Courtois, Vazquez, Tchouameni, F. Garcia, Rudiger, Valverde, Bellingham, Modric, Vinicius, Rodrygo, Mbappe
Atalanta vs Real Madrid Prediction
All the above mentioned stats are in favor of the away side Real Madrid. Three wins in the past four matches on the road with a stunning h2h form against Atalanta is enough to back an away win here.
Also, Real Madrid scored 8 goals in their last three away wins. On the other side, Atalanta’s offense managed to score 12 goals in their last five matches at home. Apart from that, the goal trend of both at respective patches inclines us to back a 3-1 ft score in favor of the Real Madrid.
You can also back the both teams to score and over 2.5 goals combined tip considering the recent trend in their h2h. Also, Jude Bellingham to score anytime is a good tip to back here considering his consistency in the final third.
