Manchester United to win

Confidence is growing in the Manchester United camp and there is every chance that the Red Devils can establish a first-leg advantage over inconsistent Atletico Madrid.

There was a time when trips to the Wanda Metropolitano were a daunting prospect, but visiting teams have had more success in recently.

Atletico have lost three of their last four Champions League home games – two of them against English opposition – and they may struggle against a United side who are unbeaten in eight away fixtures.

Under two Atletico Madrid goals

Atletico are the third-highest scorers in La Liga this season but they may struggle to make much of an impact against United, who were 2-0 winners over Villarreal on their last Champions League road trip.

Diego Simeone has tried to implement a more offensive-minded style this season but Atleti have failed to score in two of their last three Champions League matches and they may have issues finding a way past David de Gea.

Scott McTominay to be booked

The midfield battle is sure to be hard-fought and there is every chance of United's Scott McTominay overstepping the mark.

McTominay has been cautioned in each of his last three Premier League games and was slightly fortunate to avoid a second booking during Sunday's 4-2 success at Leeds.

The tenacious Scot won't be holding back and he looks a strong candidate to have his name taken by Romanian referee Ovidiu Hategan.
