Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid Betting Analysis
Because the second leg happens at Old Trafford, the pressure is on Atletico Madrid to keep Man United from scoring a goal and for Atletico to score a couple of goals against United.
Atletico should perform well under pressure. But it may not be well enough. In their last couple of matches, Man United has played like one of the best soccer clubs in the world.
The Red Devils are much deeper than Atletico. Felix, Suarez, and Correa must perform well. Man U can lean on Jadon Sancho, Ronaldo, Paul Pogba, or Bruno Fernandes. Manchester is so deep that they can bring Rafael Varane and Fred off the bench.
Atletico Madrid for sure can win this match. But the odds don’t justify a bet on Atletico. Instead, backing Man United at +200 is the bet to make. The Red Devils are on the upswing and have the depth to outwork Madrid and grab the dog victory in regulation.
