Atletico Madrid at Juventus 3/12/19 - Champions League Picks & Predictions

Juventus were not very bad in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 against Atletico Madrid but conceded two late goals that could prove to be disastrous. They will now return at home looking to reverse this tie, and will host Atletico Madrid on Tuesday for the second leg.

Juventus played a really careful game in the first leg in Spain but it didn’t work out too well for them. The truth is that the first half was pretty balanced and, if anything, it was Juventus who created more scoring chances. But Atletico Madrid did not need a lot of chances to take the lead at the 78th minute, while they also doubled that at the 83rd for the final 0-2. Juventus will now need to match that score-line so it is also a nice side bet. On the other hand, Atletico Madrid did a great job in the first match but they will have some crucial absences for the second leg. Diego Costa and Thomas Partey both saw yellow cards in the first leg and are now suspended for the second. Coach Simeone will play his usual style of defensive soccer in an attempt to kill the rhythm and move to the next round.
