Atalanta vs Real Madrid Betting Tips

Fresh from a fabulous 2^nd half performance and victory over Napoli, Atalanta should be expected to make life difficult for the visiting Spanish champions in what has the makings of a classic Champions League tie. 

While Real undoubtedly enter this contest as favourites, Atalanta has proved over the past 2 seasons that they are more than capable of mixing it with the best sides both at home and in Europe, and I fancy them to give Real plenty of problems.

Key Facts

• Atalanta have scored 3 goals or more in 9 of their last 11 home matches (all comps)
• Atalanta scored a whopping 32 goals in those 11 matches.
• Atalanta have only lost 1 of their last 20 matches (all comps)
• Real have won 1 of their last 4 away CL matches.
• Real have lost 4 of their last 8 CL matches.
• This is the first-ever meeting between these two sides.

Final Verdict

Goals should be expected in this tie with Atalanta red-hot in front of goal in recent weeks, and I expect them to take a first-leg advantage to Spain in what has the potential to be a truly captivating Champions League knockout tie. 

As such, I´m backing the hosts to score 2 or more and emerge with a narrow victory. Final score 2:1.
