Lokomotiv Moscow vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
Atletico Madrid plays a game on match day three of the group stage of the Champions League. The Spaniards travel to Russia, where Lokomotiv Moscow will be the opponent.
Lok. Moscow:
Lokomotiv Moscow has the thankless task to make something of it, in this very tough group. From the pots with the toughest opponents came Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich, while the third opponent of the Russians, RB Salzburg, is also a team to be reckoned with. Lokomotiv started his European campaign two weeks ago in Austria, where a lucky point (2-2) was taken on a visit to Salzburg. Last week the game with defending champion Bayern awaited. Lokomotiv offered the Germans very well at times. A stunt seemed in the making, but the visitors eventually managed to win the match in Moscow with 1-2.
So now the diptych with Atletico Madrid awaits. That team also encountered the red-greens in the group stage of the billion dollar ball last year. At the time, Lokomotiv had to recognize twice his superior in the Spaniards. In Madrid they lost 2-0, after Lokomotiv was also the lesser in-house with those figures. So they have experience with this opponent. Who knows, this may come in handy in Tuesday’s game.
Atletico Madrid:
Two weeks ago, Atletico Madrid was the victim of Bayern Munich’s drive. Anyone who had thought that the Madrid would be able to offer the Germans a good side was disappointed. Atletico had little to say in the Allianz Arena and left Bavaria with a 4-0 defeat. Last week, Los Colchoneros showed recovery in their home game against RB Salzburg. Atletico did not defend too solidly, which meant that they had to take two goals against. However, due to Joao Felix’s late winning goal, it did not lead to a loss of points; Atletico won 3-2 against the Austrians.
In the Champions League, the Madrid started hesitantly. In his own country, Diego Simeone’s team is doing better so far. The position in the rankings is somewhat distorted, because not all teams have completed the same number of duels, but Atletico is the team with the least point loss. Given the mediocre form at FC Barcelona and Real Madrid, Atletico fans are allowed to daydream cautiously about the national title. Last weekend, their favorites defeated Osasuna, 1-3. In Pamplona, Joao Felix was again of great value. Just like against Salzburg, the young attacking midfielder scored twice. He had a first year in Madrid with peaks and troughs, but the Portuguese seems to have taken a step in the first months of this new season.
