The Catalans, with a victory, and the Londoners, with a productive match.
Today the final matches of the first round of the Champions League general phase will be played. We hope that the final match will be as brilliant as the first match day. We present to your attention an express bet with a 5.35 odds.
Prediction for the match “Atalanta” – “Arsenal”
Arsenal can really be considered favourites for the upcoming match. Firstly, because the club managed to keep a great squad in the summer and, in addition, strengthened itself with a quality goalkeeper. Secondly, because at the start of the new season we managed to show excellent results. The Gunners played four competitive matches in the Premier League, where they only stumbled once: they shared points with Brighton (1-1). But in the other three cases they have three wins with a clean sheet: against Wolverhampton (2-0), Aston Villa (2-0) and Tottenham (1-0).

Atalanta is playing on its own field and will therefore have support. You should not forget about the flight factor either. However, these small advantages are offset by a major disadvantage: the Bergamo team is less stable. They have played five official matches, if we count the UEFA Super Cup match, and suffered three defeats and two victories. The trophy was awarded to Real Madrid (0-2) and in Serie A they lost to Torino (1-2) and Inter (0-4). There were only two nice victories: over Lecce (4-0) and Fiorentina (3-2).
A total of over 2.5 goals per 1.85 seems interesting. Considering the instability of the Italian club’s defence at the start of the season, we expected at least two goals from Arsenal. But even the Bergamascans can bounce back. They have repeatedly shown their character.
Prediction for the match Atletico Madrid – Leipzig
Diego Simeone’s team started the Spanish Championship strongly. They are ready for new challenges. Atlético won three of the five matches and ended up drawing two. Madrid only conceded two goals in this period. Jan Oblak is a powerful wall, proven over the years. In addition, the “boys from the mattresses” always had a strong defensive line. Well, again, do not forget Antoine Griezmann. He is always in good form.

Leipzig, coached by Marco Rose, could surprise the Madrid club. The club started the Bundesliga season convincingly. Particularly noteworthy was the convincing 3:2 victory over reigning German champions Bayer. The Red Bulls scored all three goals after going 2:0 down. Lua Openda scored a brace. Also not to be forgotten is the presence of young talents such as Xavi Simons and Benyamin Szesko in the Leipzig squad.
At least three goals can be scored in this match. There are many young, promising and brave players on both sides. And Leipzig and Atlético can be considered productive teams in their own right. Let’s check the bet on “both teams will score” at 1.70.
Prediction for the match “Monaco” – “Barcelona”
Monaco had a good start in the French Championship. In four rounds they managed three wins and one draw. Victories were achieved over Saint-Etienne (1-0), Auxerre (3-0) and even Lyon (2-0), and in the match against Lens there was a draw (1-1). Although, I must say, the Club was already very close to victory: it opened the scoring in the 84th minute, but missed the penalty at the end.
Barcelona are rightly considered the favourites. Under the leadership of Hans-Dieter Flick, the team has transformed itself and made its best start in the Spanish Championship since 2017. In five rounds, they have won five and are thus leading the standings alone with a four-point lead over the chasing pack. What about performance? 17 goals scored and four conceded is a very respectable figure. After a crazy 7-0 victory over Valladolid, the Catalans did not calm down and in the last match they defeated Girona 4-1.
It would be logical to recall how Monaco beat Barcelona 3-0 in a friendly match in mid-August. And at the Olympic Lewis Company Stadium in Spain. Only now is the Spanish team on the winning track and has every chance to take revenge on the Monegasques on their field. You can bet on the victory of the blue-garnets at 1.70.
Express to the Champions League
Bet 1: In total, over 2.5 goals in the Atalanta – Arsenal match by 1.85.
Bet 2: both will score in the Atlético Madrid – Leipzig match for 1.70.
Bet 3: Barcelona wins over Monaco by 1.70.
Overall coefficient: 1.85 X 1.70 X 1.70 = 5.35.
