RB Leipzig and Atletico Madrid bid for a Champions League semi-final against PSG this Thursday – but what should football spread betting fans be watching? It’s the Sports Spread Bets of the Day!

What channel is RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid on?
The fan-favourites meet in Lisbon this Thursday, at 8pm on BT Sport 1.

What are the best bets for RB Leipzig v Atletico Madrid?
There are a lot of similarities between Leipzig and Atletico. Both are competing with showier, richer clubs domestically. Both finished in 3rd place in 2019/20 in their respective leagues. Both are in danger of being ransacked over the summer transfer window. And both have knocked one of last year’s Champions League finalists out in the last-16.

After finishing as runners-up behind Juventus in a tough Group D, Atletico went on to beat champions Liverpool in extra time of their 2nd leg at Anfield. Leipzig, meanwhile, dumped out Tottenham with a 4-0 aggregate victory.

So far, pretty inseparable. The difference lies in their post-restart form – and even then, only just. Atletico haven’t lost a game – in all competitions – since February 1st, going on an 18 game unbeaten streak. That’s with 7 wins and 4 draws once La Liga resumed.

The Germans, on the other hand, often failed to get the job done during the Bundesliga’s post-lockdown run, with 1 loss, 4 wins and 4 draws.

That’s why the Spaniards have the slightest advantage, at an Atletico Madrid/RB Leipzig Goal Supremacy spread of 0.25-0.45.

Spreadex is also offering a tight Total Goals spread of 2.1-2.3 – Atletico and Leipzig had the 2nd best defences La Liga and the Bundesliga – alongside a low Total Goal Minutes spread of 108-118.

Who is RB Leipzig’s top scorer this season?
With Timo Werner – who had 34 goals in 45 appearances – now at Chelsea, Leipzig may have to rely on midfielder Marcel Sabitzer over their other attacking options.

The Austrian has 16 goals in 42 games, including 4 in 7 in Europe. What are the odds on Sabitzer scoring against Atletico Madrid? He sits at a PGM spread of just 5-8, and fixed odds of 5/1 to score anytime.

And who is Atletico Madrid’s top scorer? Alvaro Morata has 16 goals total, and sits at a PGM spread of 19-22 with a fixed odds price of 6/4.

Who are the favourites to win the Champions League?
Understandably since they are already in the semi-finals, PSG have the best Outright Index spread, at 69-72.

That’s not too far ahead of quarter-finalists Man City at 65-68, however, with the English club at fixed odds of 15/8 to PSG’s 3/1, a price they share with Bayern.

As for Atletico and RB Leipzig, they have Outright Index spreads of 46-49 and 40-43 respectively.
