Atletico – RB Leipzig. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On September 19, “Metropolitano” will host a match of the 1st round of the Champions League, in which “Atletico” will meet with “RB Leipzig”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Atlético

The team left an extremely contradictory impression last season. She seems to have even added to a number of tournaments: she made it to the playoffs in the Champions League, in the Spanish Cup – and even reached the semifinals. But there she lost to Atlético, moreover, she almost lost her place in the quartet of the best Premier League. Still finishing fourth, still behind Girona, the Matrasniki, at the request of Simeone, went through serious personnel changes. The main base was noticeably renewed, and a lot was spent on newcomers: Le Norman spent almost 35 million, Gallagher – more than 40, Alvarez – a record 75. At the same time, already in the first rounds, Cholo-Team lost points, played 2:2 on the field of Villarreal and avoided no goals at home with Espanyol. On the other hand, Valencia was defeated 3:0 in the final round.

RB Leipzig

The club did not have a particularly bright last season, in fact, it spent all its ego on the race with Borussia Dortmund for the right to occupy the fourth place in the Bundesliga. Ironically, in the end, UEFA gave the Germans five passes to the Champions League, leveling the main motivation for the opponents. But all the same, Marco Rose surpassed his former wards, closing the quartet of the strongest in Germany. In the summer, the bulls sold stars again: Olmo went to his native Barcelona for 45, they squeezed a dozen more from Al-Nasr for Simakan – by the way, already in September. They should be replaced by Gertrude and Nyus with Vermeeren, and the Belgian did not reveal himself at Atlético. But why did they pay 10 million for Vandevoordt, if there are Gulachies – a mystery. The Hungarian helped to start with victories, including the fact that the club from Leipzig won against Bayer, even away from home. But in September in Berlin, they limited themselves to a goalless draw with Union.

Statistics of personal meetings

In the coronavirus 2020, the clubs played the only quarter-final match of the Champions League in Lisbon. And the Germans won 2:1.

Forecast

Bookmakers believe in Spaniards. They are gradually increasing, and they must cope with the Germans at home – we are waiting for their victory (coefficient – 1.77).
