WWWDWD 📈

Last time out, Atlético Madrid drew 1-1 in the La Liga tie with Real Madrid.

In that match, Atlético Madrid managed 50% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 4 of them on target. The only player to score for Atlético Madrid was Ángel Correa (95'). At the other end, Real Madrid got 12 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Éder Militão (64') was the scorer for Real Madrid.

A sequence of dependable showings from the Atlético Madrid defensive unit has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their last 6 fixtures combined. In that time, their forwards have scored 8. That being said, we will just have to wait and see if such a trend will be maintained in this next match.

📰 Team News: Benfica

Renato Sanches (Hamstring injury) and Tiago Gouveia (Shoulder injury) won’t be able to feature for Benfica manager Bruno Lage.

In our view, Benfica look set to opt for a 4-3-3 formation this time and select Anatolii Trubin, Alexander Bah, Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, Alvaro Carreras, Florentino Luis, Fredrik Aursnes, Orkun Kokcu, Angel Di Maria, Vangelis Pavlidis and Kerem Akturkoglu.

ℹ️ Team News: Atlético Madrid

There’s a good chance that Atleti might utilise a 4-3-2-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Jan Oblak, Nahuel Molina, Axel Witsel, Jose Gimenez, Rodrigo Riquelme, Marcos Llorente, Koke, Conor Gallagher, Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Julian Alvarez.

💭 Prediction

Benfica may not find it easy to score against this Atlético Madrid lineup who we think will likely do enough to score at the other end and edge ahead.

We’re therefore expecting a hard-fought contest, finishing with a 0-1 win for Atlético Madrid at the end of this game.

It should be a good one.
