LiontipsAtletico Madrid vs Manchester United. Prediction and Betting Tips for UEFA Champions League 2021-2022 (February 23, 2022).
Command Analysis
Atletico fought for their ticket to the playoffs against Liverpool, Porto, and AC Milan. With Liverpool as the main favourites, the club from Madrid was expected to qualify from the second line, which they did in the end.
In La Liga, Atletico are currently 5th with 42 points to their name. Real Madrid, their cross-town rivals, are already 15 points ahead of Los Colchoneros, but Atletico can still easily make it to the top-4.
Manchester United were the favourites to win their group. After a shocking defeat to Young Boys in the opening game (1:2), the Red Devils chalked up 11 points from three victories and two draws, thus securing the top-line finish.
In the English Premier League, Man United have struggled to meet expectations. They sit in the 4th position in the log after 26 matches. But West Ham and Arsenal are hungry for European football and will certainly fight for that Champions League berth until the last round of the competition.

Tip and bets
Atlético have been very inconsistent of late. In their last eight matches across all tournaments, Los Colchoneros recorded only three victories. The Spanish club didn't win a single home game at the Champions League group stage, and we won't call them the favourites today. Manchester United aren't in perfect form either. But they have more quality and should be able to come away with at least one point.
Our prediction - Manchester United to not lose
The hosts are most likely to focus on their defenses, and we don't think that Man United will take risks today, either. We are predicting a draw in this first-leg game.
Second bet - draw
