Man United – Atlético: tip, prognosis & odds – 03/15/2022 - EUROPE: Champions League - final round
 
 
Who will prevail in the second leg and secure a place in the quarter-finals?
 
Manchester United have a chance to advance to the quarter-finals of the premier league for the first time since the 2018/19 season. After a 1-1 draw in Madrid, the starting position is good, at least they now have the home advantage on their side. With a 3-2 win against Spurs last weekend, they were also able to gain self-confidence. However, the guests from Madrid should not be underestimated under any circumstances. The Spaniards recently celebrated 4 wins in a row in the league and are therefore in top form. After losing to an English side in the round of 16 last year, they want to do better this time.

 The last few days were undoubtedly the days of the "GOATs", i.e. the "greatest of all time". In the NBA, LeBron James scored at least 50 points in two home games in a row, in the NFL Tom Brady announced his comeback for the Bucs from Tampa Bay and Cristiano Ronaldo also fell into the fountain of youth in his team's 90 minutes. The Portuguese scored all three goals in the 3-2 home win over Tottenham, giving United a big point in the Champions League battle.

Both were able to win in their respective leagues last weekend. While Atlético struggled extremely against Cadiz, CR7 reported back impressively with a hat-trick in a 3-2 win over Spurs. With Ronaldo back on his feet, the Red Devils' chances of progressing will increase. In this Man United – Atlético tip you can find out who we think is more likely to make it into the quarter-finals on Tuesday.

 Man United: Form & Record Check
 
Even if United was very active on the transfer market in the summer, there is no real consistency in Ralf Rangnick's team's game. But the Red Devils have had these problems since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson. They haven't won a league since the legend left office and this year is likely to be tight even in qualifying for the premier class. In the Premier League, they are currently only in fifth place, with a relatively large gap to fourth place.

Is CR7 rolling now?
 
It has not been Cristiano Ronaldo's season so far. Before the Portuguese scored the hat-trick at the weekend, CR had managed just one goal in eight games. In the first leg, too, Ronaldo was not a factor and could hardly embarrass the opposing defence.

After being sidelined through injury, the 37-year-old returned to the field on Saturday and showed himself to be at his best. The Red Devils are dependent on their top striker and without the goals the team lacks enormous power. Accordingly, it would be good for the English if CR7 delivers consistently from now on.

Man United: Facts & Analysis
 
Manchester United secured a promising starting position for the second leg at home with a 1-1 draw in the first leg. The chance to move into the quarter-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 2019 and only for the second time since 2015 is definitely there. Due to the elimination of the away goals rule, however, the task against Atletico Madrid could be more complicated than many experts might suspect.

This has something to do with the recent past, as in the last three knockout ties in the premier class in which United drew the first leg, they finally had to give up, most recently in 2017/18 in the round of 16 against Sevilla. Apart from that, the general home record against Spanish clubs reads anything but optimal. Only two of the last eight CL home games against clubs from La Liga were victorious (three draws, three bankruptcies).

In terms of personnel, the German coach is spoiled for choice. At the moment there is much to suggest that the injured Bruno Fernandes, Scott McTominay and Luke Shaw are all available again and have a good chance of returning to the starting XI straight away. It is quite possible that Paul Pogba, among others, will have to give way and sit on the bench.

Manchester United has only been moderately convincing in the premier class in recent years. They haven't made it to the semifinals since winning in 2011. The biggest success was the quarter-finals in 2019. This year the chances are pretty good, after all you only need a win at home against Atletico to move into the quarter-finals. After a win against Tottenham, it would be the second big success in a few days. Ralf Rangnick in particular would probably get some air, as the German has been under criticism for weeks.

 Atlético: form & record check
 
After the championship last year, the current season is very mixed for Atléti. It's no longer about defending the title and the focus at the moment is on qualifying for the premier class next year. They are currently fourth in the table, two points ahead of fifth place. The performances are often not really convincing and the 2-1 win against Cadiz last Friday was hard-fought. In a game that actually went well for the Rojiblancos from the start, they tripped up on themselves again and only saved the victory over time with a lot of effort.

Diego Simeone's team is actually known for the fact that, above all, they can always rely on defensive stability. But this season the defense is surprisingly vulnerable. In the league, eleven teams have conceded fewer goals than the Colchoneros. Last season they conceded 11 goals fewer than they do at the end of the season and there are ten games left. If Atléti still wants to achieve something in this, then they have to increase their concentration again.

In 2014 and 2016 Atletico Madrid was still in the final of the Champions League, but had to bow to city rivals Real in both finals. In recent seasons, the reigning Spanish champions have not really been able to impress in Europe's most important club competition. On Tuesday evening, for the third time in the past four years, there is a risk of being eliminated from the round of 16.

In order to avert this, the Colchoneros must first break through two spells. On the one hand, the Madrid team was eliminated from the premier class in three out of four cases if the first leg was not won in front of their home crowd. On the other hand, the last two away appearances in the Champions League in England were lost. By the way: not one of the eight guest appearances on the island could deny the red and white without a clean sheet. Also in the current season there were six CL matches in a row without a clean sheet to marvel at.

Due to injury, however, the Argentinian coach will probably have to do without his compatriot Jose Gimenez in defence. But the important center player Koke is operational again. On the offensive, on the other hand, the family man has several options. As of now, it cannot even be ruled out that both Luis Suarez and Antoine Griezmann will only come off the bench. Good for those who can substitute such highly decorated stars in the course of a game

Tip and prognosis
 
As in the first duel, we suspect a balanced game between two similarly strong teams. A winner is hard to predict. However, both teams need a win to advance. So we expect goals from both sides. If one team leads at halftime, the other will be forced to take more risks in the second half. We could therefore also imagine that more than 1.5 goals will be scored in the 2nd half.
 
Free soccer picks
 
We therefore play the tip between Manchester United and Atletico Madrid on the progress of the Spaniards and receive a promising 2.40 at the top from the tested bookmaker Unibet. If you don't want to commit yourself to a trend, you can also consider the sub 2.5. We don't believe in many goals at Old Trafford.
