Preliminary Review and Match Prediction for Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid
Manchester United finished first in Group F in the round-robin phase. In fact, the Red Devils started their CL season with a defeat away to the Young boys. However, United hit back with a five-match undefeated run, winning three and drawing two. In addition, the Red Devils were able to score in all six games.
Still, Rangnick’s team must improve defensively as they have only one clean sheet in their seven games. Moreover, United’s record against Spanish teams is not that encouraging losing 22 and drawing 24 of their 64 games. Hence Rangnick needs to be cautious in his approach not to commit too much in offense.
It hasn’t been the best of seasons for Atletico Madrid be it in La Liga or the Champions League. To point out, Los Rojablancos have 16 points less than they had last season in the Spanish league. Moreover, Diego Simeone’s men needed to win their last match in the group stage to qualify for the knockout phase.
It was a strange first leg by Atletico against United. To explain, the Red Devils had more possession with 61% but the Spanish side had more attacks with 124-89. In addition, the Rojablancos had 13 goal attempts but scored just one. On the bright side, Atletico won their last two games on the road.
Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
It was a very interesting first leg and we expect to see another thriller on Tuesday. Both teams need to win to qualify as a result, it will be like a cup final game. United are slight favorites to win but we will combine a double chance of a home win and a draw with over 1.5 total goals.
Safe Bet
Manchester United scored in eight of their last ten home games. While Atletico were on target also in the same number of games. The statistics show that there is a 65% chance that we will see goals from both teams at Old Trafford on Tuesday night. With odds of 1.92, we find BTTS to be a fine option for a safe bet.
Quick Rich
A draw is not out of the table for this match as Manchester United’s three of their last five home games ended in draws. According to the statistics, there is a 30% chance for a stalemate and that was the case in the first leg. The odds for a draw is 3.32 and we will back it for a quick profit.
Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid First Goalscorer
Despite playing as an attacking midfielder, Angel Correa is Atletico’s top scorer. The Argentine was the author of 11 goals this season and four-time was the first goalscorer. We predict Correa to open the scoring again in this match.

Manchester United vs Atletico Madrid Team News
The only unavailable player for Rangnick is Luke Shaw because of Corona Virus illness. Obviously, the German coach might play almost the same 11 that played in Madrid and consequently, all players must be fit.
It’s much more worrying for Diego Simeone with six players on the injury list. To start with, Hermoso in the center back has a muscle injury and so does right-back Vrsaljko. In addition, midfielders Weiss with a ligament injury and Kondogbia with a muscle injury are out. Also, Lemar is still suffering from a muscle injury himself.
