Every football fan around the world has been aware of COVID-19 as we have seen all of the major leagues and tournaments suspended. That includes the 2019/20 Champions League but thankfully we are back underway with the conclusion of the tournament in Portugal.

One of the quarter-finals is between RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid. Rather than the usual two legged ties we see at this stage of the Champions League, this season we have one off matches to enjoy. There will be no second chances for the team which loses this game and they will be eliminated from the competition.

The game will take place on the 13th of August at the Estádio José Alvalade, Lisbon. Continue below as we make our RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid betting tips and show you the latest RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid odds.

1. RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid Betting Picks

We begin our RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid preview by taking a look at the bookies favourite, Atletico Madrid. The Spanish club was drawn in a group along with Juventus, Bayer Leverkusen and Lokomotiv Moscow. Juventus and Bayer Leverkusen were expected to be the main challenges for the top two places and that is how it turned out. The Italian champions dominated the group and Atletico Madrid were forced to settle for second place, having won 3 of their 6 games.

Two of the 3 victories came against Lokomotiv Moscow with the other being a 1-0 home win over Bayer Leverkusen. It was not a convincing performance throughout the group stage by Atletico Madrid and having finished in second place they were drawn against defending champions Liverpool.

Atletico Madrid recorded a good 1-0 home win in the first leg and then produced a fantastic display to win 3-2 in Liverpool after extra-time. That result will give them plenty of confidence they can go all the way in the Champions League this season and the RB Leipzig vs Atletico Madrid betting odds with bet365 have the Spaniards as the 5/4 favourites to win this game.

RB Leipzig would have been happy with their group stage draw as they were in Group G along with Lyon, Benfica and Zenit St Petersburg. RB Leipzig won 3 of their 6 matches, Beating Zenit both home and away plus Benfica on the road. The only defeat came at home at the hands of French club Lyon and RB Leipzig topped the group.

Spurs reached the final of this competition last season but could not cope with the attacking play of RB Leipzig. The Germans won the first leg 1-0 in London before confirming their superiority by winning the return leg 3-0 at the Red Bull Arena.

Atletico Madrid have been one of the best teams in Europe over the last few years. They have a lot of experience on the pitch and have reached the final in the last few Champions League campaigns. - Kevin Kampl, Marca
