Salzburg and Atletico Madrid meet in a Group A match of the UEFA Champions League. The match will be played on Wednesday, at 20:00, on Red Bull Arena.
Atletico Madrid goes perfectly in La Liga, where it occupies the first position after ten matches, having two games less than the next ranked, Real Sociedad. The situation in the Champions League is also a favorable one, Simeone’s team needing a single point obtained in the trip from Salzburg to qualify for the next round.
The mission will not be exactly a simple one, as evidenced by the game in the tour, when Salzburg scored twice on Wanda Metropolitano. Atletico won that duel with the score of 3-2, but it remains to be seen if it will manage this time to resist the top offensive of the Austrians.
Salzburg also wreaked havoc on Bayern, when they won 1-3. The Austrians had an almost double number of goal opportunities (11-20), but also many more sutures sent on goal space (5-11). Basically, the only chapters that Bayern led in that game were the goals and possession (62%).
Jesse Marsch’s team did not do very well in the matches played on their own field, in group A. Salzburg obtained only one point, thanks to the draw with Lokomotiv Moscow, score 2-2. In the other match, the Austrians lost to tennis against Bayern, 2-6.
Salzburg is a beautiful team, but not one that wins a lot. Atletico, on the other hand, is a much more experienced team and, most likely, the one that will manage to get the point it needs to get the qualification. We bet on at least one point won by the guests, but also on at least two changes of the table.
In the direct dispute from Madrid, Atletico prevailed with the score of 3-2;
Ibeircii is second in Group A, with six points, while Salzburg is 3rd, with four points;
