Here are the predictions for Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid in the Champions League compiled by CNNIndonesia.com sports editors:
Man City Difficulty Facing Atletico Madrid (M Rizki Haerullah)
The Manchester City vs Atletico Madrid match in the first leg of the 2021/2022 Champions League quarter-finals is certain to be interesting.
Manchester City who have not lost in the last seven games have a slight advantage as they will play at home.
However, Man City's move to secure victory in the first leg will not be easy because Atletico Madrid come with a winning record in the last six games in a row.
I predict Man City will draw 2-2 against Atletico Madrid.

Man City Too Tough For Atletico (Juprianto Alexander)
The Man City vs Atletico duel will be interesting because it will be an offensive team meeting against a team that plays waiting by relying on counter attacks.
Man City will be the dominant team in front of the public itself. The Citizens will fully control the game even though it will not be easy to break into Atletico's goal.
With creative players like De Bruyne, Silva and Foden, Man City will be hard to contain. I predict Guardiola's men will win 2-0 over Atletico in this match.
Atletico Madrid will stay more in this match in order to gain important capital for the second leg. On the other hand, Man City will try their best to be calm in possession of the ball. Looking for gaps to score goals.
I predict Pep Guardiola will pile up attacking midfielders and wingers, without a striker, to dominate the midfield. The option to kick off from outside the penalty box can also be done by The Citizens.
Remember Atlético, the blue one is more fierce than the red one (Nova Arifianto)
Apart from Man Utd, Atletico met Man City. Simeone and his team are required to perform optimally for the sake of the semifinal ticket, because Man City has a brilliant track record. If you perform with a standard against the Red Devils, it could be that Los Colchoneros' move ends in the quarter-finals.
I predict Man City vs Atletico will present the home dominance and the visitors will be busy defending and then relying on counter attacks. The final score is not impossible for The Citizens to win 3-1.

Man City Win 2-1 over Atletico (Jun Mahares)
On a piece of paper, Man City deserves to be underdog to win. In addition to having a line of star players, they will appear in front of the public themselves.
I predict The Citizens will be able to find a way to dismantle Atletico's hard defense. However, the visitors also have the potential to appear troublesome.
Kevin De Bruyne and his friends are likely to win 2-1 over Atletico and make the second leg still exciting without the score gap being too uneven.
