Atalanta vs Real Madrid Betting Odds and Prediction: A massive challenge is ahead of Real Madrid, the defending UEFA Champions League champions as they travel to Italy to face Atalanta on Tuesday (December 10).
Atalanta are currently one of Europe's most formidable teams, enjoying a remarkable run of form with nine consecutive wins across all competitions. The Serie A leaders, boasting 34 points from 15 matches, secured an impressive 2-1 victory over AC Milan in their latest league outing.

Gian Piero Gasperini's side have also been strong in the Champions League, earning 11 points from five matches and sitting fifth in the table. As reigning Europa League champions, they appear capable of making a significant impact on this season's premier European competition.
Atalanta's European away form has been particularly impressive, with 11 goals scored in wins against Shakhtar Donetsk, Stuttgart, and Young Boys. However, their home performances have faltered, managing only goalless draws against Arsenal and Celtic. This clash will mark their second encounter with Spanish teams this season, following a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, enter this contest on the back of a morale-boosting 3-0 victory over Girona in La Liga, keeping them second in the table. However, their Champions League campaign has been inconsistent, with only two wins in five matches. They are placed 24th in the table with 6 points in five matches and know a victory is imperative for them to keep their top-eight hopes alive.
Atalanta: Carnesecchi; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Bellanova, De Roon, Ederson, Ruggeri, De Ketelaere; Retegui, Lookman
Real Madrid: Courtois; Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Garcia; Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric, Bellingham; Vinicius Jr, Mbappe
These two teams met in the UEFA Super Cup in August this year and Real Madrid managed a 2-0 victory, with goals from Federico Valverde and Kylian Mbappe.
Although Real Madrid are struggling in the Champions League, they do have enough quality to beat the Atalanta side. The Italian outfit will also be confident due to their home support and we can expect a strong encounter.
