Atletico Madrid – Lille Predictions and Preview

  • Atlético Madrid is eager to bounce back on matchday three of the UEFA Champions League (UCL) after their recent defeat against Benfica, which was the biggest in their history (4-0). While the result was disappointing, it’s the only loss the Mattress Makers have suffered in all competitions this season (6 wins and 5 draws). So, they have a clear chance to return to winning form.
  • The signs are positive for this clash with Lille. In their previous 15 European meetings with French opposition, Atlético have only lost once (9 wins and 5 draws). They are likely to add a tenth victory on home soil, as Diego Simeone’s team has won six UCL home games in a row, which is a record for them.
  • While Atlético were defeated by Benfica on matchday two, Lille overcame Real Madrid (1-0). This famous victory was the perfect response to their defeat against Sporting CP in their UCL opener. Bruno Génésio’s team has been unbeaten in five matches since that reverse to the Portuguese club (3 wins and 2 draws).
  • The Mastiffs will believe they can continue their unbeaten streak. They have now won four of their previous five UCL group stage/league phase games (1 loss) – as many victories as they managed in their previous 29 such matches. However, they face some challenges on the road. They have been beaten in six of their previous eight UCL fixtures (2 wins), and they have only won one of their previous five away H2H games against Spanish opposition (W1, D1). This suggests they should approach this match with caution.
  • Players to watch:
  • * Antoine Griezmann, the Atlético stalwart, has directly contributed to 49 goals in the UCL (37 goals and 12 assists). He looks primed to reach a half-century as he has either scored or assisted in each of his last seven UCL home matches (6 goals and 3 assists).
    * Angel Gomes, the Lille midfielder who was sent off on matchday one, returns here looking to strike late again. Each of his last seven club goals have arrived after half-time.
  • Hot stat:
  • Atlético have conceded four times in two of their previous three UCL matches – as many times as in their previous 83!
