Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Atletico Madrid to Win – 1.42
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Under 3 Goals – 1.55
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Correct Score Group Bet 2-1 or 3-1 or 4-1 – 3.90
Atletico Madrid to Win
Despite the fact that Club Brugge have the best record in group B, the bookies are favoring Atletico Madrid to win. Atletico have won their only home game in the UCL this season and were victorious in nine of their last 15 outings at the Metropolitano.
Under 3 Goals
In the last ten fixtures, Atletico Madrid’s games produced three or fewer goals in nine of them while the same number of goals were produced in Club Brugge’s seven of ten matches. As a result, the stats are showing an 80% chance for the suggested goals to be scored.
Correct Score Group Bet 2-1 or 3-1 or 4-1
Playing at the Metropolitano, Atletico Madrid won their last two games by the score of 2-1 and 4-1, and three times in their last four games by one of these scores. In addition, the last time these two teams met in Madrid Atletico won by the score of 3-1.
Atletico Madrid
Atlético Madrid immediately returned to winning ways at the weekend, but it was little consolation for a 2-0 defeat in Brugge on UEFA Champions League. Backed by a mass of nearly 70,000 Rojiblancos fans once again, Diego Simeone’s men are expected to go all out for vengeance in order to avoid only a second group-stage UCL elimination across the past decade.
Four points from the final three Group B matchdays will be needed for Atlético to match the seven points that scraped second place last year. However, a defeat here seems truly unthinkable, especially when considering that September 2015 still marks their most recent UCL home loss to a team outside Europe’s top-five domestic leagues.
Club Brugge
Club Brugge are still enjoying being the first Belgian side ever to make a perfect three-game start to a UCL group. Nevertheless, the Belgian side seemed to be too festive at the weekend as they lost to Westerlo 0-2 at home in the Jupiler Pro League.
With Brugge looking set for a first-ever UCL knockout stage appearance after a thirty-year frustration, the Blue Blacks will be looking to improve their away record against Spanish sides. However, with their only h2h at the Metropolitano in 2018 ending in Atletico’s favor 3-1, Brugge need all hands on the deck to maintain their 100% record in the group.
With Atletico Madrid needing a win desperately to stay in contention for a top-two finish, we expect Diego Simeone’s men to step up a gear and secure all three points.

Club Brugge scored at least a goal in all of their three games in the UCL this term. Playing on the road, Club Brugge are averaging 2.25 goals per match. With odds of 1.76 at 22Bet, we will back for Club Brugge to score over 0.5 goals in this match.
Antoine Griezmann got a brace and an assist for Atlético back then, but his main motivation will be to make amends for a penalty miss during matchday three. Brugge have a hitman of their own in the form of Catalan international Ferran Jutglà, who has three goal involvements in his last two appearances including the final goal against Atlético last week.
Marcos Llorente and Felipe Monteiro are on the injury list for Atletico Madrid.
Club Brugge will be without Dedryck Boyata and Mats Rits who are both injured.
