Analysis and prediction of the match of the 1st day of the general phase of the Champions League Atlético de Madrid – Leipzig (09/19/2024)
It is hard to imagine Atlético without Diego Simeone. Last season, the coach began to change the way the “colchoneros” played. They became more effective, varied in attack and stable. This summer, many fantastic transfers have been made to improve performance. The Madrid club also included Julián Álvarez, Conor Gallagher, Robin Le Normand and Alexandre Sørlot.
Di Maria does not age:
Red Star – Benfica. Di Maria doesn’t waste time
All this is a great boost for the Champions League participation. I am glad that the Madrid team is not afraid of change. And they are doing it successfully. The result of the draw was good for the “colchoneros”. And in general, Diego Simeone’s team started the Spanish Championship strongly. They are ready for new challenges.
Atlético won three of the five games and ended in a draw in two. Madrid only conceded two goals in this period. Jan Oblak is a powerful wall, proven over the years. In addition, the “boys from the mattresses” always had a strong defensive line. Well, again, don’t forget Antoine Griezmann. He is always in good form. Together with these promising newcomers, all this allows us to count on good results in the Champions League.
Leipzig, coached by Marco Rose, can surprise the Madrid club. The Red Bulls found themselves in a rather difficult situation in the Champions League general phase. Therefore, we must fight for points in every match.
Leipzig have made a convincing start to the Bundesliga season. Particularly noteworthy is the convincing 3-2 win over reigning German champions Bayer. The Red Bulls scored all three goals after trailing 2-0. Lua Openda scored twice. The Belgian has been showing outstanding results since last season. The club was lucky that no one was able to oust him.
It’s time to show Bayer in the Champions League:
Feyenoord-Bayer Leverkusen. Xabi Alonso and Victor Boniface will make noise in the Champions League
Leipzig also has young talents such as Xavi Simons and Benyamin Szesko in their squad. But it seems that Marco Rose’s team will not have much of a chance in the penalty area of the “Colchoneros”. Judge for yourself: the Red Bulls did not score against Union Berlin in their last game (0-0), and Madrid have not conceded a goal in four games in a row.
Therefore, it seems a good bet that Atlético will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals by 1.85. Anything can happen in these matches, even a draw. But the home stadium gives the “colchoneros” an advantage. They always perform well with the support of their fans.
Tender: Atlético will not lose and the total will be less than 3.5 goals in 1.85.
Lokomotiv does not slow down:
“Khimki” – “Lokomotiv”. Galaktionov’s young heroes will once again punish Frank Artiga
