Lamine Yamal to Score or Assist<\/strong><\/td>-137 @ Bet365<\/a> (57.9%)<\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Lamine Yamal was Barcelona’s main threat in the first leg, creating chances and taking four shots even after they went down to 10 men. He will be key again as Hansi Flick’s side look to turn things around in Madrid. He has nine goal contributions in nine Champions League starts this season and continues to improve at an elite level. With confidence and attacking freedom, he has the tools to trouble an Atletico side that have looked more open than usual this campaign. Odds correct at time of writing.<\/td><\/tr>
Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes<\/strong><\/td>-110 @ Bet365<\/a> (52.4%)<\/td>\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>Both teams have scored in 7 of their last 10 meetings. With both averaging over two goals per UCL game this season, expect chances at both ends. With Barca needing to win, and Atletico not having the solid defense they have possessed in previous campaigns, goals look likely here in what could turn into a chaotic contest.
