Atalanta and Real Madrid will play at least 180 minutes of football to decide who advances from this Champions League 8th Finals battle. Get ready for the first 90 minutes!

These teams have little in common geographically as Real Madrid have to travel 1600 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Cagliari and winning 1-0.
As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 18 goals have been conceded.
Real Madrid form and stats
Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 8th finals against Manchester City.Real Madrid's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Real Madrid collect 28 points from their 13 away matches in the La Liga. 8 victories and 4 draws have created these points (and only 1 defeat). When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 3W-1D-2L. This is both home and away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Valencia game have they lost an away game, meaning Real Madrid has taken points from eight away matches in a row. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Madrid hope to make it five in this match.
Real Madrid have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois. It's been 312 minutes since they last conceded in La Liga.
It's the second away game in a row for Real Madrid, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Real Valladolid in the La Liga last time out. That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Valencia in the La Liga.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found four similar matches played by Real Madrid in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Madrid, two draws and zero defeats.
The travelling fans enjoy Madrid's attacking play in away games, having scored 22 goals in 13 league matches away. It's not easy to score on Madrid as they have only conceded 12 goals from these away games.
