Game Preview

La Dea beat the second-most successful Champions League champion, AC Milan, this Friday, 2-1. On Tuesday, they are up against the most decorated UCL team, Real, whom they’ve never defeated so far.

Gian Piero Gasperini and his team have been on fire lately, as Atalanta has nine wins in a row and is without a loss for 14 matches. (12W, 2D). In all of its victories, La Dea scored at least twice.  

Real oscillates a lot. Over the previous eight events, we saw them win and lose four times each. They are coming off a victory over Girona this weekend, 0-3.

Vinicius Jr. is expected to return to the lineup against Atalanta, which would be a huge boost for Ancelotti’s side. He has four goals in four Champions League appearances this year and is indispensable to the team.

Lineups & Injuries News

Juan Cuadrado is out for the hosts, the same as Zappacosta and Scamacca.

Bellingham‘s injury against Girona is minor, and he will play in Bergamo. Rodrygo, Camavinga, Militao, Alaba and Mendy are out.

Atalanta vs. Real Madrid Head to Head

There were three encounters between these sides, and Real won in all of them. The most recent was on August 14, the UEFA Super Cup when Los Blancos beat La Dea 2-0.

Atalanta vs. Real Madrid Prediction

La Dea is in perfect shape, and this is a unique chance to avoid a loss against Real for the first time in their history. Our UCL bet here is a double chance – Atalanta or a draw.

  • Atalanta vs. Real Madrid pick: Atalanta or a draw
