Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United Predictions
Atletico can prolong United’s struggles
Atletico Madrid’s 2-1 victory over Alaves extended their winning streak to four matches. They have scored 11 goals during that spell, combining consistent results with the attacking output to put another struggling opponent under pressure.
Their Champions League campaign began with defeat to Liverpool, but this meeting with Premier League opposition comes on home soil. Los Colchoneros have dropped just two points across four home games this season, making the Metropolitano a difficult place for United to seek a recovery.
The visitors have gone four matches without a win after Saturday’s draw with Tottenham. Spurs started the weekend bottom of the Premier League, so United’s failure to beat them offers little encouragement before a tougher assignment in Spain.
United are also still waiting for their first away victory of the season. I’m backing Atletico Madrid to win at 2.00, with the hosts consistently collecting points at home while United struggle to find a breakthrough on their travels.
The last competitive tie between these clubs ended in a 2-1 aggregate victory for Atletico in 2022. The Spaniards have also won their two most recent matches by a 2-1 scoreline. United have scored four goals in their last four outings, so Atletico’s recent success has not depended on keeping opponents entirely quiet.

Grimaldo’s goal threat stretches beyond his position
Alex Grimaldo offers a goalscoring option from left-back. His position makes him a less conventional choice in this market, but his recent contributions deserve attention on their own terms.
Grimaldo has scored in three of his last four appearances for Atletico. He has repeatedly found the net across that short spell, rather than relying on one prolific performance.
His shooting figures provide a broader measure of his attacking involvement. Only Alex Baena has registered more shots on target for Los Colchoneros this season, with Grimaldo joint second in the squad.
A bet on Grimaldo to score anytime appeals at 5.50, with his recent scoring frequency accompanied by one of Atletico’s highest shots-on-target totals.
