Our Expert Predictions & Analysis on Atletico vs Real

Atletico

The Mattress Makers played a good first leg of the Champions League 1/8 final against their neighbours from Real, but still lost, conceding a decisive goal in the second half of the match. Now Diego Simeone's charges face the difficult task of reaching the next round of the tournament, and to do this, the team needs to make up for the one-goal deficit. Atletico's main trump card in the return match should be the support of their home fans, who will definitely be pushing their favourites and believing in a positive outcome of this fundamental confrontation.

Real

Carlo Ancelotti's team completed the bare minimum in the first leg against Atletico and managed to secure a one-goal lead ahead of the return leg. The Blancos could have counted on more if they had converted their chances late in the game, but even with a minimal advantage, Real will be the favourite to reach the Champions League quarter-finals. It's worth remembering that the Whites are actively fighting for victory in all competitions, so in the upcoming matches the team's coaching staff will have to correctly distribute playing time between their players, who are entering a decisive period of this campaign.
