The England international has been in brilliant form and has scored or assisted in 7 of his last 8 competitive games. After a slow start to the season in which he had a change of role, Bellingham has been more offensive minded in recent weeks and the current absence of Vinicius Junior means more is expected of him in the final third of the field.

He’s currently playing in behind the striker which is giving him an excellent chance to get on the scoresheet but also to take shots.

The former Birmingham City and Borussia Dortmund man is always one of the most targeted players on the pitch. He has drawn 1.60 fouls per 90 mins in La Liga this season, a figure which increases to 2.40 in the Champions League.

In the Super Cup final back in August, Atalanta fouled him three times so it’s not asking much for him to be fouled just once on this occasion. Bellingham has had at least 1 shot on target in 4 of his last 5 La Liga games and in his current position can be expected to test the keeper at least once again here.

The role of de Roon in this Atalanta 3-4-3 system is midfield enforcer. He will do a lot of the dirty work required and averages 1.60 fouls per 90 mins in Serie A. The Dutchman averages 1.60 fouls per 90 mins in Serie A and is usually good to last the whole match without being subbed.

Taking him to commit two or more fouls in such a big game looks well within his reach. He only committed 1 foul vs AC Milan on Friday evening but in a big Champions League match under the lights he could struggle against the likes of Bellingham, Modric & Valverde.

The most fouled player in the Atalanta squad is clearly Brazilian midfielder Ederson. He has become a foul magnet and averages two fouls drawn per 90 mins in both Serie A and the Champions League this season.

In his position on the field he will naturally always be engaged and win some cheap free kicks. Taking Ederson just to be fouled once or more looks like a safe addition, especially as he usually plays the full 90.

Atalanta are a sneaky good side and are playing some of the best football in Europe right now. They have won all of their last 9 consecutive games in all competitions and are unbeaten in 14 straight matches.

In Gian Piero Gasperini they have a brilliant tactical manager who has managed to outthink many top coaches in the last year or so, including Jurgen Klopp, Mikel Arteta and Xabi Alonso. He has a tremendous record in really big matches.

This won’t be easy facing a Real Madrid team who need a result but they have already lost to Lille and AC Milan in this UCL campaign and there is a strong argument that Atalanta are better. The Italian hosts are a huge price to win the game outright.

In the previous bet builder it was mentioned how de Roon is a massive foul risk in this game. He could land himself in trouble so it could be worth taking him in the card market. The Dutch international has racked up 4 cards in Serie A this season, but yet to obtain one in the Champions League, so he’s probably overdue.

Facing Real Madrid at home is much more difficult than the likes of Celtic or Young Boys. Last season de Roon picked up a huge 10 yellow cards in Serie A and 3 in the Europa League. It would not be a shock for him to go into the book here.

The physical element of Lookman can be difficult for any team to deal with. He’s fast, strong and clever with his movements. If Real Madrid play a high line and leave space in behind he won’t be caught offside every time and should get some chances.

Lookman has scored or assisted in 5 of his last 9 games and last season racked up an impressive 16 goals and 8 assists in both Serie A and the Europa League combined.

Mbappe has scored in 3 of his last 5 games and has been looking sharper in recent weeks. Mbappe’s shot count stands out in the last 5 La Liga matches. He’s racked up 21 shots in that time frame, with 11 on target.

Mbappe has registered at least 2 shots on target in all of his last 4 domestic affairs and could be a big price to match that here. We don’t even need him to score in this instance but just simply fire two shots on target.
