The shape of Leipzig at the beginning of this setting is asymmetrical at best. They have controlled winning consecutive games since the reget began and have won only one of their last 4 games. This causes them to launch as the losers in 21/10 to win the tie in 90 minutes.
Die Roten Bullen has made the most of its games recently. Seven of his last 13 games ended in a stalemate. Atletico is also no stranger to drawing games. No La Liga team tied last season as much as Simeone’s, with 16 games tied. The odds of 11/5 for a 90-minute draw seem good.
The Atleti has been undefeous in all competitions since 8 February. His record at the time included 11 wins and seven draws in 18 fits. They start the setting as favorites at 11/8.
Emil Forsberg and Marcel Sabitzer are Leipzig’s most sensitive scorers at this festival this season, along with Timo Werner, with 4 goals. Both will be available in 3/1 to appear on the adjustment sheet on Thursday. In addition, they are 17/2 to be the first goalscorer in the setting.
In the absence of Poulsen and Werner, it is almost certain that Patrik Schick will lead the Leipzig line here. This sees him start the setting as the favorite of those who play for the German team to score a goal here, in 12/5. Of his ten Bundesliga purposes this season, three were the first purpose of the game. You can Open the score Thursday at 13/2. Similarly, you will be offered the same possibilities to mark the final goal of the adjustment.
Alvaro Morata is the most sensible goalscorer of the Atleti in this competition, with 3 purposes. Of its 16 purposes in all competitions this season, six were the first purpose of the game. Unsurprisingly, then, it’s the favorite to open the scoreboard at night in 5/1. Or foreign Spanish may appear on the adjustment sheet at any time, at 7/4.
Atletico is very close to the German rival in the UEFA competitions. They have faced a Bundesliga team forty-four times and have won twenty-one. They also lost 16 times.
In Diego Simeone’s time as a coach, his record of 8 wins, 3 draws and five losses in 16 games. When they met the German groups in the 16-year circular in the last nine years, they became complicated four times.
Leipzig does not have the same point of delight in knockout competitions as Spanish rivals. They have never faced a Spanish national team in a competitive match in their short career.
It remains to be seen if they are subjects.
Atletico is famous for his defense and his results.
This is demonstrated through data, with their matches averaging 2.38 goals shared between the two teams; the lowest festival of all the remaining teams. Atleti also has the lowest average expected goals for their games. Only 2.82 xG of opportunities are created in matches involving the Madrid team.
RB Leipzig is not far from that number, with only 2.99 xG of opportunities created in their matches. This classifies the groups as the “boring” highs to see in the competition. Especially the matches of Atalanta (4.14 xG), Bayern (4.03 xG) and PSG (3.94 xg).
None of this data will surprise you. This fits into a very tactical war between two of the biggest names in football management; Diego Simeone and Julian Nagelsmann.
The big news for Leipzig is the loss of Timo Werner. Werner decided to finish the Champions League crusade with Leipzig, explaining that he had to “hurt aside” and decided to leave Leipzig for Chelsea earlier.
He is one of 4 players excluded from the Leipzig Champions League squad. Others come with Ethan Ampadu, Frederik J-kel and Hannes Wolf. However, Leipzig U17 striker Hugo Novoa has joined his squad for the rest of the competition.
Hee-chan Hwang, who signed from Salzburg to upgrade Timo Werner, cannot participate in this competition.
Yussuf Poulsen has missed the last seven Bundesliga matches to an ankle injury. Therefore, it is a primary doubt to be involved here.
Patrik Schick also missed the last game of the season to a knee problem. As a senior striker option in Leipzig, Leipzig will pray for compatibility to start on Thursday.
Marcel Sabitzer and Konrad Laimer also did not participate in the last attack of the Bundesliga crusade in Leipzig. Even if he doesn’t worry about the Atleti, either.
On Sunday night the news was known that two atleticoers of Atletico Madrid had done the COVID-19 test. As a result, the players in question, Sime Vrsaljko and Angel Correa, will now not be available for the remainder of the tournament.
Thomas Partey is one of the main doubts for adjusting with a muscle problem. As a result, Saul will most likely relate to the center of the field with Llorente or Koke if he fails his fitness test.
Joel Felix missed three games towards the end of the La Liga del Atleti crusade due to an ankle injury. However, he made a 30-minute appearance in his last league games of the season against the Society. You must have support to start on Thursday night.
Diego Simeone’s team is very chosen. The main decisions you will make will be on the right side, opting between Trippier or Arias. Similarly, who will be the wife of Joel Felix in the attack between Diego Costa or Alvaro Morata.
