Real Madrid – Atalanta, Prediction – Champions League

🤩 Benzema gave Real Madrid serious confidence

Real Madrid was on the verge of failing brutally in the title fight against Elche. Given that Atletico did not beat Getafe Real had to win their match to shorten the gap, but this was unlikely at 1-1 minutes before the end. Benzema, however, scored a goal after the 90th minute, which was his second for the match and again brought success to Los Blancos. This is an important psychological victory for Real, who will now be extremely motivated for the rematch with Atalanta.

⏩ Atalanta have to do far better in such big matches

The 0-1 loss to Real M was not the only important and big match that Atalanta has lost lately. The goddess also lost in the derby with Inter with 0-1 before 2 rounds. It is strange how this team with such a strong attack cannot even score a goal against the big teams. We can go back to the season when Atalanta lost to Lazio, Napoli, and Liverpool 0-5 in the Champions League. Atalanta reached the quarterfinals last season in the Champions League and if it wants to maintain the level of the big ones, it just has to play better against them.

We believe in the attack of the Italians

 Expert view: Real Madrid seems to be a solid favorite in this match after a 1-0 victory in the first match and, nevertheless, a difference in quality in favor of the Spaniards. However, this is the only match of the 3 with a clear favorite in the remaining quarterfinals, where there is some intrigue because it is difficult to expect anything from Gladbach and Lazio in their matches against City and Bayern. We have commented on Real Madrid’s strong defense many times in recent weeks and this was proved in the first match against Atalanta. Although everything points again to a victory to 0 for Real, we will still bet on BTTS at 1.60, because Atalanta have proved to us in recent years at least that they have a great character and a great attack. In addition, it seems that their visits are better in terms of performance and results, which can be seen from their statistics in Serie A away from home.
