2.35

We are expecting a great offensive performance from the hosts, who failed to advance into the Champions League semi-final. Today they will try to redeem themselves for that defeat. Visitors are unlikely to withstand in this match, they have no motivation for the rest of the season, plus team is not successful in head-to-head matches.

Our prediction - Asian handicap (-1,5) on Atletico
