Champions League : Atalanta vs. Real Madrid prediction, lineups,free online

Atalanta and Real Madrid on December 10, 2024, is poised to be a critical encounter for both teams. Currently, Real Madrid occupies a precarious position in the league phase table, necessitating a victory to ensure progression to the knockout stage . In contrast, Atalanta has exhibited remarkable form in Serie A, remaining unbeaten and winning their last nine matches . This juxtaposition of pressures will significantly influence each team's approach to the game.

Los Blancos, the reigning European champions, currently reside in the final qualifying spot in the standings, sitting 24th with just six points through five matches. If they drop any further in the table they would be in an elimination position with very little time to pull themselves back up.

How to watch Atalanta vs. Real Madrid in Champions League league phase

Real Madrid really need a positive result on Tuesday, with a defeat unthinkable for the reigning champions considering their position in the table. Atalanta are a high-quality outfit, though, and we are finding it so difficult to back them to lose here; a draw is what has ultimately been settled on, and we are expecting it to be a brilliant game of football.

Atalanta's predicted lineup features a dynamic 3-4-3 formation that emphasizes offensive prowess with players like Lookman and Retegui leading the attack . Conversely, Real Madrid's projected lineup includes key figures such as Bellingham and Vinicius but will miss Ferland Mendy due to injury . Given Atalanta's strong home record and defensive solidity—having conceded only one goal in this competition—it remains uncertain whether Real Madrid can secure a much-needed victory.

This match can be streamed live on Paramount+ at 3 PM ET. As both teams vie for advancement in the tournament, fans eagerly anticipate an intense battle that could ultimately determine their fates within this prestigious competition.
