Atalanta to win - 17/10

Real collected their 15th triumph in either the UEFA Champions League or European Cup when they beat Borussia Dortmund at Wembley in May, but this season’s competition has been a frustration for Los Blancos so far and they could suffer another setback in Bergamo.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side have already suffered three defeats in their six matches of the new league phase and need to pick themselves up after suffering successive defeats to Premier League leaders Liverpool and their manager’s former club, AC Milan.

They beat Atalanta 2-0 in the UEFA Super Cup in August, but their Italian opponents look geared to get the better of their Spanish opponents this time around, despite the visitors being potentially boosted by Vinicius Junior’s return from injury.

La Dea have won their last nine matches and Celtic are the only team who have prevented them from triumphing in their last 13 outings, while Madrid’s tally of four wins from 10 league and cup away matches is rather underwhelming.

Gian Piero Gasperini’s side have kept three clean sheets in their last 10 home matches and Madrid can be relied upon to be positive wherever they visit, but the value looks to be with backing the Serie A leaders to come out on top.

Ademola Lookman to score at any time - 21/10

Atalanta forward Ademola Lookman was the star of the show when the Bergamo outfit won the UEFA Europa League final last season and the former Everton and Charlton Athletic attacker is having another great season.

Lookman scored a hat-trick in the that final against Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen in Dublin and he has played a key role in helping to steer his team to the top of Serie A.

The Nigeria international has scored eight domestic league goals this season and has had at least five shots on goal in five of his 12 Serie A appearances this term.

The 27-year-old was also on target in the 3-0 win over Shakhtar Donetsk and the 2-0 success against Stuttgart and it would not be a huge surprise if he increased his tally in Tuesday’s match.

Under 9.5 corners - 5/6

There looks a strong chance that there will not be a huge number of corners at the Stadio di Bergamo as Atalanta have been frugal in allowing their visitors flag-kicks this season.

They have conceded an average of just two per Serie A home game this term, while Celtic earned four and Arsenal just a couple in their UEFA Champions League matches on their own patch.

Real earned five when they visited Liverpool and three in their 1-0 defeat at Lille and their average of 4.38 per away match in La Liga cannot be regarded as spectacular.

Therefore, it could pay to back there to be fewer than 10 when the teams lock horns on Tuesday.
