1.70Tip and bets
It is noticeable that Atletico lacks stability this season, the team plays with decent fluctuations, much depends on how the leaders play in a particular match. There are no reliable actions in defense, which Diego Simeone has taught everyone to do, now. In the four previous matches, the "mattress makers" have always conceded. In the match against Real, Lille demonstrated that it can tactically competently adapt to an opponent superior in class. Gradually, the "dogs" played out, they are on a series of five games without defeat. We believe that the guests will not allow themselves an outright failure today.
