“Returning to its proven 4-4-2 system, the capital overthrew Premier League champions Liverpool on an undefeated 18-match run (W10-D8-L0) to close the campaign”
RB Leipzig two key components
RB Leipzig is located in unprecedented waters. The Bundesliga club reached their first Champions League quarter-final after sweeping the Spurs easily in all 16. and win a UCL playoff.
Despite Leipzig’s notable performances in both matches against Tottenham, the Saxon appearance suffered a serious inconsistency in internal affairs in 2020. RB had led the Bundesliga rankings this year, but has won honors in 10 of his last 17 league exits after winter. break to abandon the Meisterschale competition.
A seven-week absence without competitive football is a fear for Leipzig fans, as is the loss of striker Timo Werner. The sprinter intervened with 28 of Die Rotten Bullen’s 81 Bundesliga goals and signed for Chelsea this summer; His compatriot Yussuf Poulsen is also unavailable due to injury, losses that will damage RB’s attack.
Atletico returns from February
Atletico Madrid recorded his lowest problems in La Liga since 2011/12 this season, the look of Diego Simeone still controlled to seal an eighth consecutive position among the 3 most sensitive in Spain. The Colchoneros suffered an identity crisis in the early parts of the season after a large rotation of players last summer, but have recovered impressively, especially as of February.
Returning to its 4-4-2 system, the capital’s club eliminated two-match Premier League champion Liverpool on an unbeated 18-match (W10-D8-L0) streak to close the campaign. During the season, Atletico produced a 22-leaf blank in all competitions, while suffering four losses in La Liga.
Preparations for Thursday night’s matches were hampered after two positive COVID-19 tests on the team over the weekend. Subsequently, Sime Vrsaljko and Angel Correa showed themselves as the players involved in the pair, either in isolation at home and not available for selection, leaving Simeone with a reduced team of 21 men for Portugal.
Favourites of Spaniards in Lisbon
Unsurprisingly, the clash of the José Alvalade Stadium will be the first competitive match between the two teams, but it is also the first glimpse of the Leipzig continental festival with a Spanish team. Meanwhile, Atletico has won all their Champions League or European Cup matches with German rivals, with the exception of the last of 1974 against Bayern Munich.
RB Leipzig had a strong campaign in the Champions League, completing most of Group G before crushing the Spurs in their first knockout match. But the Germans went through a comfortable segment and their work with Tottenham became less difficult due to the absence of Harry Kane and Heung-Min Son. Julian Nagelsmann’s outfits are understandable to outsiders in 90 minutes.
Atletico [2.52] reached the Champions League quarter-final for the fifth time in seven seasons. Colchoneros are famous for their resistance and defensive organization, which complicates the Spaniards. COVID-19 is scary aside, Diego Simeone’s team is in the most sensible way since half-time and will be devilishly difficult to beat.
Keep the Atleti in a fight
A curious clash of styles awaits you in Lisbon. RB Leipzig prefers to play football at the forefront and maximum pressure, although bundesliga boys have not faced war games like Atletico with their domestic duties. However, Die Rotten Bullen has demonstrated an ability to sit and watch when he encounters elite opposition.
Leipzig allowed Bayern Munich to draw at home and away, as well as to add a point against Dortmund. In all three matches, Julian Nagelsmann’s troops produced a more reserved display, preferring to play against and satisfied with giving up possession. A similar technique can be used against a set of The Atleti who does not like to take the initiative.
With this in mind, in addition to Atletico Madrid’s inclination to keep the competitions tight, Under 2.5 Goals is quoted at [1.71] quotes. Six of the Spaniards’ 8 champions of the Champions League this season have had fewer than 3 purposes, so it makes sense to face Diego Simeone in the double chance market, such as opposing a purpose game.
We can lean to an appropriate value of 2.20 through the multi-game market of the same Betfair game.
Vuelta Atletico Madrid Double chance and less than 2.50 to 2.20 rb Leipzig v Atletico Madrid
