Athletico tonight! Lets discuss

What are the odds on Costa to win a penalty by diving?

I think odds on atletico are terrible, I took Milan double chance just because they are experienced Italian team. I will watch Bayern game as I have more money on it..took Milan for smaller stake

Interesting will have to look into this more, but athletics is very good at home and have proven in in he champs league so far!

I don't like Athletico -1, they don't need any goals tonight at all-unless Milan get 1.

Experienced Italian team? Probably.

But this season they're pretty much garbage, even with Seedorf they're incapable of scoring.. they had a lot of clear chances vs Atletico at home but they lack a decent striker who could finish his chances.

Taarabt is great with his technical ability but he's pretty much one man team there, everyone else is sloppy.

Honda is sloppy at the moment, still hasn't adapted to Milan..Plus he's not playing due to UEFA rules. Kaka.. that guy puts in work but he can't finish his chances he had about 3 clear chances to score. ( hit post and crossbar ).

Balotelli is back but he's not gonna make much impact, plus he hasn't scored ever or assisted a goal in knockout stages of champions league.

Milan won one of their last 14 champions league games against Spanish teams, 7 losses 6 draws.

Atletico Madrid won all of their home games in champions league this season.

But despite Milan domestic situation, they will play like their life depends on it.

Atletico Madrid will try to contain and control the game, meanwhile Milan will be on offensive.

From my point of view I'm seeing this game going under.. 1-0.. but BEST recommendation is to wait until half time, this is the type of game you wait and see what happens, because IF and IF Milan scores, the under will have very slim chances of going through. All depends on how Atletico Madrid wants to carry the game.

I expect first 10-20 mins Milan to attack like crazy, then they will slow down.

I am gonna bet 1 Half Time (Atletico to win 1st half) i think so because Seedorf said that will try to attack since 1st minute go get a fast goal, but i think the offensive players of Atletico like Diego Costa, A.Turan or D.Villa will score with counter-attack and Atletico is expected to lead Half time i think. Good Luck.

Balo is starting tonight and I have a feeling he will have a good game. They looked dangerous against Juve, and if they play like that and Costa doesn't dive every 2 minutes they might have a chance

Plus as bad as they are in the league, you can't rule out Milan. Same with Man United

Balotelli will either show up or be a flop. Bigger chance that he'll flop.

barca12 · 03-11-14, 05:57 PM

I was way off today on both games..I had bayern thrashing arsenal and milan double chance but it went other way around in both..these games are tough to analyze, especially after huge leads from game 1..same thing tommorow with psg and barca..hard to pick a winner there

An obvious pick here is PSG, but I re-call in the group stages when PSG destroyed Anderlecht away but couldn't give two fuks at home.

Honestly don't see Bayer Leverkusen posing a threat probably will be an open game since they've got nothing to lose, over is something to look at.

Barca vs Man City = over game as well. No calling sides here.

Aguero is back! Man City will be looking for goals and Barca will be looking to bury the game in the opening minutes.

I know same could have been said for Bayern Munich and Arsenal today but there's a huge gap in class between the two, plus Arsenal only had 1 dangerous moment and their offense lacks creativity, unlike City.
