Betting Tips: Atlético Madrid vs. RB Leipzig
This Champions League clash between Atlético Madrid and RB Leipzig is set to be an intriguing matchup, given both teams’ recent form and their past meeting in 2020, which RB Leipzig won 2-1 in the quarterfinals.
1. Match Outcome: Atlético Madrid Win or Draw
- Atlético Madrid Form: They are currently on a 10-match unbeaten run and have won their last two matches with clean sheets (3-0 vs. Valencia and 1-0 vs. Athletic Bilbao). Atlético’s strong defense, with four consecutive clean sheets, indicates that they are solid at the back.
- RB Leipzig Form: Leipzig are unbeaten in their last 6 games but have struggled defensively in away matches, conceding goals in 10 consecutive away games. Although Leipzig are capable of high-scoring performances, their defense could be vulnerable.
Given Atlético’s home advantage and defensive strength, they are favorites to avoid defeat. A bet on Atlético to win or draw (double chance) offers safety.
2. Both Teams to Score (BTTS): Yes
- Despite Atlético’s strong defense, RB Leipzig have consistently found the net in recent games, especially on the road. They’ve scored in 5 of their last 6 matches.
- Atlético Madrid, while defensive at times, have also been prolific in attack, scoring in all of their recent fixtures except one (0-0 vs. Espanyol).

3. Over 2.5 Goals
- Atlético Madrid have been involved in high-scoring games recently, with their last four wins coming with multiple goals (3-0, 1-0, 3-0).
- RB Leipzig tend to concede, especially away from home, but also score consistently. Their recent matches have seen 3 or more goals in 4 of their last 6 outings.
