2 Best Picks for Atalanta vs Real Madrid

1. Moneyline Pick: Real Madrid (+140)

Real Madrid is slightly favored in our Champions League odds, but I have no doubt that Los Blancos will suffer a lot. However, they can’t even afford to draw. In other words, they must go all-in right from the star, just like they did last weekend against Girona, a match in which Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Brahim Diaz, and Kylian Mbappe were all starters.

The match against Girona also allowed Los Blancos to regain some confidence, as they won 3-0. This was especially true for Mbappe, who scored a great goal after missing two penalties in consecutive games. And let’s not forget that his first goal for Real Madrid was against Atalanta.

The thing is that Atalanta is on a roll and now leads the Italian Serie A standings with a two-point advantage over Napoli. As if that weren’t enough, the Nerazzurri are unbeaten in the continental tournament thanks to a 3-2-0 record.

Most recently, they crushed Young Boys 6-1. However, I have one tiny problem with Atalanta’s record at UCL; the Nerazzurri haven’t faced powerhouses. And that’s not all because let’s not forget that their two draws were at home, against Arsenal and Celtic. I mean, Borussia Dortmund crushed Celtic 7-1, and Atalanta couldn’t even score!

Real Madrid doesn’t often offer +140 soccer odds. Take it while it lasts!

2. Bet This Prop: Both Teams to Score in the Second Half (+160)

Real Madrid’s last UCL game was against Liverpool. Los Blancos lost 2-0 after Kylian Mbappe missed a penalty that could have been the equalizer. However, the most important thing to consider, is that both Liverpool’s goals were in the second half.

Last weekend, two of Real Madrid’s three goals against Girona were in the second half. The same happened in Los Blancos’ 2-1 defeat against Athletic Club; all three goals were scored in the second half.

The same applies to Atalanta since the Nerazzurri defeated AC Milan 2-1 last Friday with a goal in the 87th minute. Prior to that, they defeated AS Roma 2-0 with two goals in the second half.

I know you get the picture. We’re talking about two teams that are used to score in the second half. That doesn’t mean you can’t expect a first-half goal, but not from both, which is why both teams scoring in the second half is the best Champions League betting prop to include in your ticket!
