Atalanta have won six of their last eight games
The visitors have won their last five away matches in this competition
Atalanta on a roll
Atalanta head to Spain after a 1-0 home loss in the first meeting between these two. However, la Dea were a man down for most of that narrow defeat. That should prove that they have little to fear going into this trip to Madrid.
The Spanish giants haven’t been that strong in the latter stages of this competition of late. Real Madrid are winless in their previous four home games in the Champions League knockout round (D1 L3).
That leaves them in trouble against the Champions League’s best travellers. Atalanta are on the longest current run of away victories of any team in the competition (5). They have scored 14 goals in that run, while keeping four clean sheets.
La Dea pulled off a 4-3 win in Valencia in March last year, but we see them edging a more cagey tie here. Given the Italian side’s good form, we’re backing Atalanta double chance alongside a 1-0 win in our correct score prediction.
