Some of betting predictions for Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United match are:
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Both teams have a very defensive style of play and being an important knockout match, no team will look to concede chances and thus betting on the game to have less than 2.5 goals at odds of 1.66 (bet 365) is one of the best bets of the match.
Bruno Fernandes is back in form and has scored in back to back games. He will once again be the difference maker for his team and betting on him to get 1 or more shot on target at odds of 1.66 (betway) is one of the safest bets of the match.
We expect this to be a low scoring match with very less attacks and thus betting on the game to have less than 10 corners at odds of 1.90 (bet 365) is a really good bet.
Quick Rich
Both teams will start the game safely. Betting on the first half score to end 0-0 at odds of 2.62 (bet 365) is a safe bet giving high returns.
Cristiano Ronaldo is known as the king of Champions League. Luckily, Atletico Madrid is his favourite team to play against scoring which is proved by the whopping 25 goals he has scored against them. We expect Ronaldo to shine and be the first goalscorer in this match at odds of 6.00. (betway).
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams have been way below their best in their respective domestic leagues. Manchester United has a very solid squad with loads of talented players and will be favourites to progress ahead. However, Atletico under Simeone have a good history in this league in the recent years and will put up a really tough fight. We thus expect the game to end as a draw at odds of 3.20 (bet365).
Bet During the Match
If both teams play safe and the first half ends with a scoreline of 0-0, betting on David De Gea to keep a clean sheet in this match at current odds of 3.20 (betway) can be a good bet.
