The Champions League action continues on Tuesday as Europe's top sides clamour for a spot among the coveted automatic qualification places.
Odds Now's Brad Walker has combed over the night's fixtures and picked out a tidy 5/1 double for punters to dive into.
Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta continue to impress in both domestic and European fixtures.
A 2-1 home win over AC Milan saw them climb to the top of the Serie A table on Friday evening and meant 'La Dea' have now won each of their last nine matches in all competitions.
In fact, Atalanta haven't tasted defeat since a 3-2 home loss against Como at the end of September, meaning they are now unbeaten in 14 overall.
Compare this with the form of current holders Real Madrid, who are still struggling for consistency.
Carlo Ancelotti's men may have secured a 3-0 win away at Girona on Saturday, but have still lost four of their last 10 in all competitions.
'Los Blancos' have also suffered consecutive defeats in their last two Champions League outings, meaning they've came up short in three of their five matches in the competition so far this term.
Combined with Atalanta's supreme home form - they've won five of their last six at the Gewiss Stadium - backing the hosts to continue their incredible run at a best price of 7/4 looks the smart play here.
Matching the incredible standards set last season was always going to be a big ask for Leverkusen, but Xabi Alonso's men have still looked impressive this term.
They sit third in the German Bundesliga after 13 matches and have also won their last five matches in all competitions.
The winning run included a 5-0 home rout against Salzburg in their last Champions League outing, leaving them sixth in the automatic qualification spaces.
And while Inter Milan are one of the few sides above the German side, Simone Inzaghi's side face a stern task when they travel to the BayArena.
Leverkusen have lost only once in their last 36 home matches in all competitions and are yet to concede a goal on home turf in the Champions League this term.
And yet, despite their incredible run in front of their home fans, Leverkusen are still available at an odds-against 5/4 to record another victory on Tuesday.
That price looks too good to turn down for me.
