RM vs ATN Dream11 Tips for Real Madrid vs Atalanta Champions League Fixtures 17 March

RM vs ATN Dream11: A crucial away goal for Real Madrid in Bergamo leaves Atalanta with it all to do ahead of this Champions League round of 16 second leg. The Italians must accomplish what they failed to achieve in the first leg and find the net at least once to get themselves back into this tie. However, Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have already proved their credentials on the road in the group stage, winning all three of their games away from home without shipping a single goal. Real Madrid have conceded in each of their last three matches in all competitions, however Zinedine Zidane’s men will be boosted by the presence of star striker Karim Benzema, who was unavailable for the first leg due to injury.

Likely Winner:

Atalanta have it all to do in Spain and the absence of Remo Freuler doesn’t aid their cause. They can at least call upon their solid away record this term, with a 1-0 loss at Inter last time out just their second defeat on the road in 2020/21. Real Madrid have needed late goals to secure a positive result in their last four matches and this never-say-die attitude should help the LaLiga side into the next round of the Champions League. In our RM vs ATN Today Match Prediction odds, we back the Spanish side to win 2-1 in this match.
