On the other side, Atletico Madrid will welcome in striker Luis Suarez. Suarez was acquired from Barcelona where he spent so many years as the counterpart to Leonel Messi on the front line. Now, he will bring his prowess back to the club that jumpstarted his stellar career.

Soccer bettors looking for value should be wary of picking against the German giants. Suarez’s ability to score from anywhere on the field makes Atletico a viable underdog pick.
