A sort of David against Goliath despite in the first leg between Atalanta and Real Madrid there were not many differences.Both teams are coming on this meeting with similiar spirits — Real Madrid have not lost since January 30 won six out of eight matches between La Liga and the Champions League. But it does not continue to convince completely since many of its players give the idea of ​​being at the end of the race, closing a cycle.Manager Zidane was clear before the match about the strategy. They will not wait the time to pass strong of the goal advantage but will try to take the lead from the start.“If we don't score at least two goals, it will be very dangerous for us”.Regarding absentees advanced midfield Hazard is again injured while defensive leader Sergio Ramos should be part of the match.

Atalanta seems established itself with the rythm of Champions League. Only one year ago they reached the maximum point of history entering in top eight teams.Atalanta did not lose heart and in the league they won three matches out of four, beating Sampdoria, Crotone and Spezia, remaining largely in the running for fourth placement —is +2 over Naples and Rome and +6 from Lazio. The only discordant note was the defeat at San Siro versus Inter of Antonio Conte.Manager Gasperini and his club having only one result available while any draw could be fine for Real Madrid to fly to the quarterfinals, will try to attack from the start and face Real Madrid in open match.“Of course, they are weakened by the failures. They are still well equiped and maybe only on the substitutes are of a little less quality than usual.”

Real Madrid

Injuries/Suspensions: Carvajal (11/0 d), Diaz (10/1 f), Casemiro (24/5 m), Hazard (9/2 f).

Atalanta

Injuries/Suspensions: Hateboer (17/2 m), Sutalo (7/0 d), Freuler (23/1 m).

Prediction:

Atalanta have to start offensively but they inevitably be vulnerable in defense. Real Madrid are an expert of those situations.

Real Madrid -0.5

两支球队都带着类似的状态出战本场比赛-自1月30日以来，皇家马德里西甲联赛八场比赛中的六场和欧洲冠军联赛均保持不败。但是它并没有继续完全说服自己，因为许多球员都提出了在比赛结束时保持状态，结束一个周期的想法。经理齐达内在赛前很清楚这个策略。他们不会等待足够的时间来获得进球优势，而是会从一开始就占据领先地位。“如果我们至少不进球两个，那对我们来说将是非常危险的。”再次受伤，而防守领袖塞尔吉奥·拉莫斯（Sergio Ramos）应该参加比赛。

亚特兰大似乎已经建立起了欧洲冠军联赛的节奏。仅在一年前，他们达到了进入前八支球队的历史最高点。在联赛中，他们赢得了四场比赛中的三场比赛，击败了桑普多利亚，克罗托内和斯佩齐亚，仍排在第四位，比那不勒斯和罗马多2分，拉齐奥多6分。唯一不利的记录是在圣西罗对阵国际米兰上的失利。主帅加斯佩里尼和他的俱乐部只有一个可用的结果，而任何平局都可能让皇马飞向四分之一决赛，将尝试从头到脚进攻皇家马德里公开赛。“当然，他们会因为失败而被削弱。他们仍然装备精良，也许只是替补的实力比主力弱一点。”

亚特兰大必须先发动进攻，但他们不可避免地在防守上容易受到攻击。皇马擅长这样的节奏。
