Monaco vs Atletico Madrid Betting odds and predictions
Atletico Madrid may have gone on to be Europa League champions last season but not without suffering the embarrassment of being dumped out of the Champions League in an unexpected early exit. They only managed one win in the group matches, which included two draws with minnows Qarabag FK. Chelsea and Roma were their other opponents in the group. This season their Group A opponents are Borussia Dortmund and Club Brugge, in addition to Tuesday’s challengers Monaco.
Monaco had an even worse Champions League group campaign in 2017/18, failing to record a single win and picking up just two points through their draws with RB Leipzig and Besiktas. They suffered some crushing losses – Porto 5-2, RB Leipzig 4-1, and Porto 3-0 in their miserable run of results. This season they will be without their star players Lemar and Fabinho who both moved to the Premier League. Atletico was able to keep hold of their star player when Griezmann committed to staying at the club with a new long-term deal.
