Atalanta vs Real Madrid FC Prediction, Betting Tips and Preview, Champions League Game on Wednesday February 24, 2021.

Atalanta only lost Hans Hateboer to Real Madrid on Wednesday. Defensive duo Cristian Romero and Berat Djimsiti will miss the second leg if you book on Wednesday.

Atalanta will go with a 3-4-1-2 or 3-4-2-1 formation against Madrid. Former team star Papu Gómez was sold to Seville in January.

Real Madrid are sweating over the availability of Karim Benzema after the forward suffered a muscle injury late last week. His absence would be a great blow.

Zinedine Zidane no longer has top-level players like Marcelo, Sergio Ramos and Eden Hazard for Wednesday's first leg with Atalanta along with other injured players. Casemiro will miss the second leg if he is booked on Wednesday.

Prediction and Picks Atalanta has the ability to upset anyone on the same day and they should be optimistic about their chances against Real Madrid given their form this season and the current squad absent. The Serie A team beat Napoli 4-2 this weekend, their second win over them this month. Real Madrid have won four in a row, and Luka Modric, Toni Kroos and Casemiro have really put them back in the race for the La Liga title. They came close to exiting the group stage of the Champions League in December and have only won one of three away games.   DRAW @ +265
