Atl. Madrid vs Celtic – Preview, and Prediction
Atl. Madrid vs Celtic – The return leg saw Atletico Madrid fall short at Celtic Park, drawing 2-2, which spoiled a lot of accumulator bets.
Everything went wrong because of their horrible first-half defense, and this is not the first time this season that they were slow to start. This is remarkable for a Simeone-coached club that often goes undefeated.
Atletico hasn’t kept a clean sheet at home this season in any league, but they have been incredibly effective in front of goal because of Alvaro Morata’s outstanding play and Antoine Griezmann’s support.
Because of this, we are backing both the total number of goals to be over 2.5 and Atletico Madrid to come out on top in this match.
Conversely, Celta has witnessed a steep decline under Brendan Rogers, and they are unfortunate to be sitting in Group E of the Champions League with just one point.
A late strike against Lazio robbed them a point, while poor discipline cost them the match at Feyenoord. The hardest test, though, will be the trip to Atletico Madrid.
