Atletico Madrid vs Celtic prediction 07.11.2023

• Competition: Champions League
• Date: Tuesday, 7th November 2023
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Metropolitano Stadium (Madrid)

The game on Tuesday night at Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid could be significant for both teams. A win for Atletico Madrid would propel them close to the second phase, while Celtic have only one point from the first three rounds, and they need to make a miracle to stay in contention to finish among the best two teams in the group. LaLiga side is a big favorite to win, but the Scottish team has to look for their chance because, eventually, one point could leave Celtic too far on the table.

Atletico Madrid have another good season. They seem locked for another top-four finish. Atletico Madrid had an impressive run of nine games without a defeat until the previous match when Diego Simeone's team lost 2-1 on the road against Las Palmas. The home side had significantly weaker goal-scoring chances but still found the way to all three points. Although Atletico Madrid lost, their confidence shouldn't have a major hit as Simeone's side had a very successful few months prior to that loss. 

We all know how dominant Celtic and Rangers are in the Scottish Premiership. This season, Celtic made a step forward with ten wins and only two draws in the first 12 rounds. Brendan Rodgers' team are without a defeat in the last six games in all competitions. In the previous game, they won 3-0 on the road against Ross County. Guests dominated the game from the start, so it is no wonder that they picked up another win. 

Atletico Madrid vs Celtic pick: Atletico Madrid to win and cover AH -1.5 spread

Atletico Madrid and Celtic had the previous h2h match about two weeks ago. In the game in Glasgow it was 2-2. But, if we look at the stats closer, we can see that the Spanish side dominated. Guests had ten more shots on the gaol and much better chances (xG 2.28 compared to 0.91). Atletico Madrid should take full advantage of playing at home and win easily on Tuesday, so LaLiga's side should win and cover AH -1.5 spread.
