ATALANTA VS REAL MADRID PREDICTION
Both these two sides secured qualification for the Champions League knockout stage with victories in their final group games. Atalanta defeated Ajax 0-1 in Amsterdam to book their place in the round of 16 as Group D runners-up, whilst 13 times Champions League winners Real Madrid beat Borussia Monchengladbach 2-0 to seal their spot as Group B winners. A free-scoring affair between the two is expected in Bergamo, with Atalanta’s last five home games in all competitions producing a staggering 25 goals. The Italians are notorious for their attacking prowess and will need to be at their best going forward against a Madrid side who come into this contest off the back of having kept three consecutive clean sheets. Whilst shutting out this Atalanta side will be a tall order, Zinedine Zidane’s side will be confident of netting at least one away goal with them scoring in each of their last eight most recent fixtures, so both teams to score looks the smart play in this one.
