Wanda Metropolitano Arena, Madrid, hosts a Champions League Group A game between Atletico and Club Brugge on Wednesday evening.
In the first round match, Brugge was close to winning the first point in a difficult group, with Atletico, Dortmund and Monaco. It was not to be, however, Pulisic marking the victory for the Germans. It was a decent performance from the Belgian team, but not one at a level that would make it a success on a Wanda Metropolitano.
Atletico Madrid debuted this Champions League season with a victory in the match with Monaco. There were three matches in La Liga, in which Diego Simeone’s team did not receive a goal and after that he won seven points. Among these are the weekend draw, Santiago Bernabeu. Crossing a very good time, Atletico seems to be in an ideal position to get a new success.
This is the first direct confrontation between the two clubs.
Probable teams:
Previously, Jose Gimenez was the weekend champion of the Madrid derby and should also enter the start team this weekend. Santiago Arias surpassed an injury, being just a reserve in the previous game.
From the guests’ camp, Brandon Baiye and Kaveh Rezaei are uncertain.
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2)
Cloud – Hernandez, Godin, Gimenez, Juanfran – Koke, Niguez, Rodrigo, Correa – Griezmann, Costa
Club Brugge (3-5-2)
Letica – Mitrovic, Denswil, Poulain – Danjuma, Rits, Vormer, Vanaken, Vlietinck – Wesley, Vossen
Club Brugge has not won any of the last 11 matches played in the Champions League, and this series should continue after the game on Wednesday night. The Madrid defense of the Irons can bring them a new game without a goal and the offensive will have to produce the goals that will keep the three points in Madrid.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.74
