Atletico Madrid are nominally considered favourites in the match, as the team has always had a special attitude to European Cup matches, and Colchoneros look preferable in terms of squad strength. But still RB Leipzig is also quite a serious opponent, especially we should not forget that the ‘bulls’ this season on the road have already managed to beat Bayer, which last season lost only 1 match.
The new format of the UEFA Champions League forces teams to play more risky, as there will be no return matches, any match can decide a lot in the fight for the play-offs. We expect that there will be goals today, as Leipzig can score, last year the Bulls scored 14 goals in 8 Champions League matches, scoring away even to Real Madrid and Manchester City.
Prediction: both teams to score and at least 3 goals to be scored. We recommend the “BTTS - Yes + Over 2.5” bet, odds 1.91
