Juventus v Atletico Madrid

The first of our Mar 12-13 Champions League betting tips is for Juventus v Atletico Madrid. Champions League football returns this midweek with the second leg matches of the Round of 16 going ahead on Tuesday and Wednesday at 7.45pm live on BT Sport. It’s a midweek delight for sports fans with the Cheltenham Festival in the afternoon followed by the cream of the continent from planet football in the evening. Juventus go looking to overturn a 2-0 deficit after being put in their place over in Spain, but recent history shows we can take nothing for granted in this tournament and the Italians will rate their chances.

Juve warmed up for this one with an impressive 4-1 win over Udinese at home in the Serie A on Friday night and as well as an extra day of rest than usual, they will also have benefited from the massive confidence boost hat came from hammering a strong opponent. Kean scored a double and that was added to by Can and Matuidi, more than enough to see off the visitors who responded through Lasagna when already four goals behind. An utterly convincing performance and Juventus are favourites to win on Tuesday, priced 8/11 with Coral. You won’t find better than that quote.

Madrid Have the Advantage

Atletico Madrid were expected to struggle in their first match with European super powers Juventus, despite holding home advantage, but they moved into a strong lead thanks to a cracking performance. Flexing their muscles on Spanish soil to prove they are a force to be reckoned with at this level, Madrid stormed into the lead when Gimenez struck a 78^th minute opener. They were made to wait for the goal but that seemed to relax them a little and they soon doubled that advantage, Godin striking a second less than five minutes later. A double dunt and it left Juventus looking shell-shocked.

The Spaniards were made to wait until Saturday for their weekend league match, but they too got the desired result when beating Leganes 1-0 at home, the winning goal coming from Saul early in the second-half. It was a trickier test than followers had hoped ahead of this one, but a number of players were given the day off, keeping fresh for this all-important midweek trip. Bookies have the away day scored out at 19/4, top price with Bet365, a draw chalked up on the betting board at 14/5 with the same firm. Take no in the both teams to score market for an added leg to your midweek accumulators at 7/10 (Coral).
