Atletico Madrid - Leipzig: Form Analysis
Atletico Madrid are having a solid start to the season, just what they need for their revenge against Leipzig. This match will be the second in the history of these teams after Leipzig beat Atleti 2-1 in the 2019/20 Champions League quarters.
Back then with the Covid measures, the one-off tie was played in Lisbon. When playing at home to German clubs, Atletico have put up a good run, only losing three of 23 matches. They will not just be banking on this, but also their good run so far in 2024/25.
Ahead of this game, Atletico are still unbeaten in the season, with three wins in five matches. In their last four outings, they kept clean sheets and in two wins at home, they scored six times.
Last season, Diego Simeone’s team reached the quarter-finals of this competition and will be aiming to do better. Ahead of this match, Atletico beat Valencia 3-0 at home.
Atletico Madrid are baying for revenge after their loss in 2019/20 in Lisbon.
As Atletico’s elimination last season was overseen by German opposition, Leipzig’s was also engineered by a Spanish side – Real Madrid. Die Roten Bullen go into their third straight match against Spanish opposition keen not to start on a losing note.
Their European record doesn’t look so encouraging though, having lost more matches than they won. In total, Marco Rose’s side has lost 14, won 13 and drawn six of their away games in Europe. In the Champions League alone, they have eight losses in the last 15 away matches.
It is clearly a run that will worry the visitors, though their impressive start this season should offer some solace. Four matches into the new season, Leipzig are yet to taste defeat, winning three.
In their most recent outing, they could only play to a goalless draw with Union Berlin.
