Atalanta are in stunning form, unbeaten since September. They head into this European matchup on an incredible nine-game winning streak, winning every match since drawing with Celtic in the Champions League in October.

Real Madrid desperately need three points in Bergamo. Their form has been topsy-turvy of late, but the European champions have a knack of getting the job done when needed.
