Atletico Madrid vs. AC Milan 11/24/21 UEFA Champions League Soccer Picks, Best Bets and Odds

Atletico Madrid is hosting AC Milan at Wanda Metropolitano in round 5 of Group B of the UEFA Champions League. Atletico is still struggling in the attacking end, but the good news is they are scoring quite consistently. Milan has lost their first Serie A game this past weekend, and they are still without a win in the Champions League.

Atletico hasn’t been conceding this many goals in a while, and they now have 13 conceded goals in LaLiga alone. In the Champions League, Atletico is in 3^rd place with 4 points, but they still have a chance to advance or to get knocked out. In their last LaLiga game against Osasuna at home, Atletico has had 61% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 85% of the correct passes. This game was a battle, but Atletico has scored a goal in the 87^th minute, and they have won this game 1-0. In the Champions League, Griezmann is the leading goalscorer for Atletico with 3 goals, but he is suspended because of the red card. There are a few more injuries and suspensions for Atletico Madrid, and this will be a tough game for them because of it. Atletico is doing well in the attacking end, but their defense is sloppier than ever.

Milan I without a win in their last 3 games, and they are in the last place of this group with only 1 point, but they can still reach the next stage, or more realistically, the Europa League. Milan has scored 4 goals so far, and Rebic, Diaz, and Leao have each scored 1 goal, but Milan’s defense hasn’t been on the level so far. In their last Serie A game against Fiorentina on the road, Milan was a better team with 55% of ball possession, 7 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 2 big chances created, and 87% of the correct passes. Milan has lost this game 4-3, but they have conceded 2 goals from their mistakes, which is something it can’t happen against Atletico Madrid. I think Milan was under certain pressure so far in the Champions League since they haven’t been playing in this competition for a long time, but they have no room for mistakes anymore, and they need to bounce back after that stupid loss to Fiorentina. Milan is a good team, and with all the injuries and suspensions in Atletico, this is the perfect opportunity for them to get their first win in the Champions League.

Atletico has always beaten Milan so far in the Champions League, but I have a feeling this one will be different. Atletico is bad on the defensive end, they have a lot of injuries and suspensions, and for that reason, I will take Milan to get a win.
