Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid benefit from having a full-strength squad available to them. This is with the exception of David Alaba, who is missing from action for a long time. But this was expected from Carlo Ancelotti.
Also, it is worth noting that in the buildup to the UEFA Super Cup, Eduardo Camavinga has suffered an unfortunate training-ground injury. He collided with Aurelien Tchouameni in training and picked up a knock to his knee. It is not a serious injury but he will miss the Super Cup. Camavinga was unlikely to start but it is a blow nevertheless.
All of Real Madrid's international stars, including Jude Bellingham and Dani Carvajal who reached the Euros final, are available for selection for Real Madrid.
Predicted Real Madrid lineup vs Atalanta: Courtois; Carvajal, Rudiger, Militao, Mendy; Valverde, Tchouameni, Modric; Rodrygo, Mbappe, Vinicius Junior
Atalanta Team News
Atalanta have a long-term injury of their own to contend with, since Gianluca Scamacca has been ruled out through an ACL injury. Giorgio Scalvini is also not expected to be in action for Atalanta until midway through the upcoming season.
Predicted Atalanta lineup vs Real Madrid: Musso; Djimsiti, Hien, Kolasinac; Zappacosta, Pasalic, Ederson, Ruggeri; Lookman, De Ketelaere; Retegui
Real Madrid vs Atalanta Score Prediction
It will come as no surprise to see us backing Real Madrid. Los Blancos are always favourites in European competition and with a stronger squad available to them, Carlo Ancelotti will be confident. This is not to overlook the Italian competitors but I do think Real Madrid will win this match 2-0.
