🗞️ Team News: Atlético Madrid

In all likelihood, Atleti could make use of the 3-5-2 formation in the match, beginning the first half with Jan Oblak, Robin Le Normand, Jose Gimenez, Cesar Azpilicueta, Marcos Llorente, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Conor Gallagher, Samuel Dias Lino, Antoine Griezmann and Julian Alvarez.

📋 Team News: RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose has to choose a team with limited availability. Xaver Schlager (Cruciate ligament tear) and Assan Ouédraogo (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Leipzig might make use of a 3-4-2-1 lineup, going with Peter Gulacsi, Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, Benjamin Henrichs, David Raum, Amadou Haidara, Kevin Kampl, Benjamin Sesko, Xavi Simons and Ikoma Lois Openda.

🧠 Prediction

Atlético Madrid should be able to create a decent number of chances and shots on target.

At the other end, RB Leipzig are also probably going to find it difficult to score but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be getting enough chances to score, too.

Therefore, we are anticipating a 3-1 win for Atlético Madrid when the full-time whistle blows.
