Will the Bulls be able to slam the door at the end and create a sensation in the confrontation with a more prestigious opponent, or will the mattress makers easily take three points?

Command Analysis
Salzburg
AustriaCurrent form
Salzburg regularly reached the group stage of the Champions League and have solid experience at such a high level, so before the start of the league stage the Bulls were among the contenders for a place in the top 24. However, already in the first round the Bulls lost 0:3 to Sparta in a match where they were clearly counting on points, and after the 0:4 defeat to Brest it became obvious that there was nothing to count on anymore.
As a result, Salzburg is clearly failing in the current Champions League and has only played one strong match. In the fourth round, the Bulls sensationally beat Feyenoord 3:1 away, gaining their first, and so far only, victory. The vice-champion of Austria approaches the last round in 34th place in the table with no prospects of making it to the playoffs.
In the Austrian Bundesliga, Salzburg situation is also close to disaster. After 16 rounds, the Bulls are only in fifth place in the table, already 10 points behind the leader Sturm, although before the start of the championship they were considered the main contenders for the championship title. The second stage of the championship is ahead, where they will have to play with direct competitors, so there is still a small chance of success.
Disqualifications and injuries
Konate, Kjaergaard and Guindo are injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Salzburg have lost six of their seven Champions League matches
- Salzburg have failed to score in three home Champions League matches
- Salzburg have lost to Atletico in their last two matches
Estimated line-up: Blasvich – Dedic, Blank, Baydu, Terzic – Yeo, Capaldo, Bidstrup, Glukh – Dorgeles, Dagim.
Atletico Madrid
SpainCurrent form
Before the start of the Champions League, Atletico were among the main contenders for a place in the top eight – in the summer, the mattress makers strengthened their already far from weak squad and had the opportunity to set such ambitious goals. Diego Simeone team started with a 2:1 victory over Leipzig, but a 0:4 defeat to Benfica in the second round showed that the path would not be easy.
After the fiasco in Lisbon, Atletico managed to lose 1:3 at home to Lille in the third round and cast doubt not only on their ability to fight for a place in the top eight, but also to make it to the playoffs. However, the mattress makers did not make any more mistakes and, having beaten Bayer 2:1 in the last round, they won their fourth victory in a row and ended up in fifth place in the table, practically guaranteeing themselves a ticket to the 1/8 finals.
In the Spanish championship, Atletico also looks very strong and is currently a contender for the championship title. With 45 points, the mattress makers are in second place in the table and are four points behind the leader Real, Barcelona is three points behind. The situation was more promising, but in the last round, Atletico lost points at home in a duel against Villarreal (1:1).
Disqualifications and injuries
Barrios is disqualified. Galan is injured.
Interesting trends for betting
- Atletico have won their last four Champions League matches
- Atletico have conceded in five of their last six Champions League matches
- Atletico have scored in six of their seven Champions League matches
Probable line-up: Oblak - Molina, Jimenez, Le Normand, Reinildo - Simeone, Koke, De Paul, Gallagher - Griezmann, Alvarez.

2.55Tip and bets
Atletico has not yet guaranteed itself a place in the top eight, theoretically there is still a chance to end up outside the 1/8 finals, so the visitors will clearly have no problems with motivation. Atletico is distinguished by its lethal implementation and has world-class players in attack, Salzburg has practically no chance of playing to zero today. However, the Bulls have absolutely nothing to lose, the hosts can afford to play openly, they are far from ideal in defense, the hosts are quite capable of playing for one goal.
We believe that there will be goals in the match. Betting Tip - both will score . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.85
Bet on the outcome
Atletico has not yet formally guaranteed itself a place in the 1/8 finals and today the squad will be as combative as possible, and the visitors will have plenty of motivation. Salzburg is clearly failing the season on all fronts, having suffered six defeats in seven rounds of the Champions League, there are a number of personnel problems, and there may also be difficulties with motivation. In such a situation, it makes sense to give preference to the favorite and count on its confident victory; today, Atletico is objectively stronger.
Bet - Asian handicap (-1.5) on Aletico. This bet is offered for 1.99
Combined rate
Atletico will be in the most aggressive mood today and will certainly count on victory in the confrontation with one of the main outsiders of the tournament. The mattress makers are quite capable of getting three points in Austria - Salzburg is extremely unstable this season and fails match after match. However, the lack of responsibility for the result will allow the bulls to play openly, they managed to score against Real a week ago, the hosts will surely respond with one goal and Atletico.
The bet is Atletico win and both teams will score. This bet is offered for 2.95
