Atletico Madrid To Win The Game In The 2nd Half Against Rostov

After defeating Rostov in Russia, will Atletico be able to do the same this Tuesday at Vicente Calderón?

We supported Rostov earlier this season in the UCL qualification stage against Ajax, however, the team lost many of their power. The opponents are also well aware of their main quality, the quick transitions, which is making things more difficult for the Russian team and the same should happen in this game against Atletico on the road.

Atletico Madrid is even stronger when playing in Vicente Calderon with a fearful attack. Their offensive line can compete with Barcelona’s MSN (Messi, Suarez and Neymar) and Real Madrid’s BBC (Bale, Benzema and Cristiano). It won’t be easy for Simeone to decide which players to choose among Griezmann, Gameiro, Carrasco and Gaitan but one thing is certain, Atletico will present a very strong attack with some differences when compared to their rivals’ tactic. 

With the money line at such a low price, the suggested Asian Handicap line is also too high for us to back it with the -2.5 priced at 2.07. These prices have no value at all but the truth is that we don’t feel comfortable going against such a strong team at home. Therefore, we’ll skip this market.

Some bookmakers like Pinnacle provide good value in the goals market with the Under 3.5 goals above 1.70, a very interesting bet. Even if Atletico covers their handicap with a 3-0 victory, this Under is still won, which makes this a very good bet. Here are some site where you can get free bets.

Besides this goals line, we’ve also found some good value in a parallel market, the Half-Time / Full-Time market with Sbobet offering a great price on the X/1 at 4.60. Rostov will present a very defensive strategy, trying to hold Atletico as long as possible and we believe they can do it in the first 45 minutes of the game. However, the Spanish team should solve this duel in the 2nd half, which makes this also a very good line. For this game, we’ll pull the trigger on this risky line and also in the Under 3.5 goals at 1.72 with green listed bookmaker Pinnacle.
