Atletico Madrid will take on Manchester United in one of the most interesting matches of the Champions League eighth-finals. Both teams aim for success in this competition and will search for a good result here.
Atletico Madrid Preview & Team News
Atletico Madrid hopes to win again after their last result, a 3:0 victory in La Liga over Osasuna. However, Los Colchoneros barely reached the knockout round, as they booked only two wins in the group stage. Fixtures featuring Atlético Madrid have often been lively ones of late, with a lot of goalmouth action expected. Over their past six games alone, a total of 24 goals have been recorded for both teams combined (at an average of 4 goals per game), with 12 of these accredited to Atlético Madrid. Nevertheless, they need to tighten their defense since it hasn’t been as solid as in the previous seasons. The Atlético Madrid manager Diego Simeone doesn’t have any fitness concerns to speak of before this game owing to a fully healthy group ready to go.
Manchester United Preview & Team News
Manchester United will go into this clash following a 4:2 Premier League win with the eclipse of Leeds United in their previous outing. Although the Red Devils haven’t been too convincing in the group stage, they reached the pole position. For five of the past six games featuring Manchester United, a comparatively low number of goals have been struck between them and their opponents. The overall average goals scored per game within that spell comes out as a paltry 2.5, with the average goals for the Red Devils being 1.67. However, Man Utd should be more consistent to succeed in the Champions League this season.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
Atletico Madrid hasn’t played well at home in the CL this season, as they failed to celebrate a single win. Neither side has been too convincing lately, and we won’t be surprised if this game ends in a draw.
Goals Market Prediction
Both teams have shown a lack of confidence in defense this season. On the other hand, each side poses significant attacking potential. Therefore, we expect to see goals in both nets in this encounter.
