UEFA Champions League picks for Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester United
Before you tune in to Wednesday’s match, you need to see the Manchester United vs. Atletico Madrid picks from SportsLine’s European soccer insider Martin Green. After working in the sports betting industry for several years, Green became a professional sports writer and handicapper and has covered the game worldwide. Since then, his European soccer picks have been spot-on. Green has generated well over $37,000 for $100 bettors since the 2017-18 season, and he has his finger on the pulse of the game all over the globe.
For Atletico Madrid vs. Manchester United, Green is predicting Cristiano Ronaldo to score at +210 odds. With his nine-year stint in La Liga with Real Madrid, Ronaldo is as familiar with Atletico Madrid as any of his opponents. He’s faced the side in league play, Copa del Rey and Champions League, most notably when he recorded a hat trick against Atletico in the 2017 UCL semifinals. Overall, Ronaldo has scored 25 goals across 35 career games versus Atletico Madrid.
This season, Ronaldo tops Man Utd with nine goals, which ranks fourth in the Premier League. Perhaps even more impressive is his Champions League run, where he scored in all five of the group matches he played in. Only four players have more UCL goals this season than Ronaldo’s six, and let’s also not forget he just happens to be the Champions League’s all-time leading scorer with 140 goals.
Now, he faces an Atletico squad that has regressed considerably on defense. After allowing the fewest goals in La Liga last season, Atletico isn’t even among the top 10 in fewest goals allowed this year. The Spanish club has given up eight goals over its last five UCL games, including at least one in every match.
