Our Tipster’s Angle
This is the first time Manchester United will be facing Atletico Madrid in the Champions League. However, it is known that Manchester United has consistently failed to do well against Spanish teams.
While both teams have been struggling this season and having consistent results, they have risen to the occasion most times when it’s needed and gotten the results.
This match will be tough to determine which side goes through or which team wins the first leg due to the away goal rule being scrapped. However, below are our best tips for this game.
Tip 1: Over 2.5 Goals
Both teams have various attacking talents and leaking defense. Also, Atletico Madrid has been scoring and conceding in their 10 recent games in all competitions. They have seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches.
Also, Manchester United has a leaky defense, especially against top teams that they have played against this season.
We think there will be goals in this match due to the team’s recent defensive records. For over 2.5 match goals, the odds are 2.16 at the Casumo sportsbook.
Tip 2: Both Teams to Score
Just like the over 2.5 tip above, this game will be determined by the defense setup of the teams. Manchester United has top attacking players like Cristiano Ronaldo, who has caused Atletico Madrid harm over the years in UCL, and Atletico Madrid have players like Luiz Suarez and Griezmann.
We think that both teams would find the net in this game as it would be primarily based on who will outscore each other.
For both teams to score, the odds at the Casumo bookie is 1.80.
Conclusion
This is one of the cracking UCL matches, and it would be exhilarating to see how the teams would line up.
Both teams have similar seasons as they are not in form with several poor defending. Manchester United hasn’t been favored in European clashes against Spanish teams, and we think their demise might continue in this game.
