Real Madrid will look to end their torrid run of form in the Champions League when they travel to Atalanta for their next game on Tuesday.

Carlo Ancelotti's side 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in their least European outing was their second consecutive loss in the Champions League and sees them currently in 24th place with only six points after five games at risk of losing out on automatic promotion to the knockout stages.

However, their 3-0 win over Girona in La Liga coming into this match will give them the necessary morale boost needed to overcome Atalanta.

Atalanta, on the other hand, are in great form this season. Their last Champions League game saw them defeat Young Boys 6-1 and they enter this match after a 2-1 win over AC Milan in Serie A.

The Sporting News looks at the key details ahead of this game, including how to watch the match, kickoff times and the latest lineup news.

Atalanta vs. Real Madrid Prediction 

Real Madrid come into this game with a psychological edge, having won all of the previous three meetings between them and Atalanta.

However, Atalanta are a different machine this season, dominating Europe and Serie A. This game is likely to end in a scrappy draw with both sides giving their all to get all three points.
