Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Los Blancos won the first leg by a scoreline of 2-1.
Atletico Madrid are all set to host Real Madrid in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 round of 16 fixture. Diego Simeone’s men conceded an early goal after Rodrygo came in with a sensational strike. Later in the first half, Atleti scored an important equaliser. Carlo Ancelotti’s men took back the lead after scoring another goal in the second half.
Atletico Madrid will be at home but will surely be under pressure as they are down by a goal. Although they are a strong side at their home, Diego Simeone’s men will surely find it tough to get through to Los Blancos’ defence. Atleti might find a way and are likely to score a goal or two.
Real Madrid are ahead and will be looking to maintain their lead. They will have to defend well, which has not been their best department in recent times. Carlo Ancelotti’s men are going to face some difficulties as it is tough to battle Atleti at home.
But with a one-goal lead and with their attacking front in form, Los Blancos will be looking to carve their way into the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals.
