Winner : Manchester United

Atletico Madrid are heading into this Champions League match on the back of a strong win and a draw in their last two games, which suggests they are finding some form. However, their earlier results include some heavy defeats, so they can be a bit inconsistent. Manchester United, on the other hand, have lost their last two matches, including a heavy loss, and are clearly struggling to pick up results at the moment.

When these two sides last met a few years ago, the games were very tight, with one draw and a narrow win for Atletico. Given that Manchester United are in poor shape and Atletico are looking more solid, this feels like a close but slightly favorable match for the home side. A draw or a narrow win for Atletico Madrid seems like the most likely outcome.
