Expert Betting Tips

It's the match between the third teams in the Spanish and Italian championships. Barcelona looks stronger in the game, but don't write off the visitors, who the bookies see as the underdogs. Atalanta has a direct entry into the last 16 and will do their best to keep their fans happy and not lose. We reckon it'd be worth betting on the individual total of cards of the home side. They'll probably field thei second lineup, and Flick will be giving the main players some much-needed rest. Barça has already secured their place in the next round.
