Wanda Metropolitano is ready!
This evening you have a chance to enjoy the exciting clash between Atletico Madrid and Manchester United. This match will be the first duel of the double match in the elimination stage of the UEFA Champions League tournament. The hosting crew from Madrid ended up as the second-best team in Group B with a score of 2 wins, 1 draw, and 3 losses. The visiting crew from Manchester on the other hand was the best team in Group F with a score of 3 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss. This will be their first head-to-head duel in the UEFA tournaments, so it’s very interesting to see who is going to present a better performance in the clash.
Atletico Madrid is absolutely an unpredictable squad this season. After they won their last Champions League match against FC Porto (1:3), Atletico Madrid played 13 football matches in all competitions. Well, their total score is 5 wins, 1 draw, and 7 losses. This unpleasant record definitely puts big pressure on Diego Simeone in front of tonight’s match. So it’s going to be very interesting to see their tactical approach tonight against the Red Devils.
Manchester United FC however, looks a bit more compact since their last Champions League challenge. They also played 13 games in all competitions, combining 7 wins, 4 draws and losing 2 games. The good news for the crew from Manchester is that they won their last two Premier League duels against Brighton (2:0) and Leeds United (2:4). So their head coach Ralf Rangnick will definitely use the level of confidence of his squad and bring another quality approach on the field in Madrid and go for the win.
We await another dramatic Champions League match with lots of exciting moments on both sides of the pitch. The slight favorite for the win will be the visiting team because of their recent good performances.
Our prediction: Market (BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE + TOTALS) Tip: NO / UNDER (2.5)
