Atletico Madrid should have few problems getting the better of Astana in this Champions League game. Atletico started their campaign with a 2-0 win in Turkey against Galatasaray but then suffered a shock home defeat to Benfica in their second game. Two fixtures against Astana should sort out qualification in this group but winning it might not be so easy. The Spanish side are currently fourth in La Liga and have won two at home, drawn against Real Madrid and lost to Barcelona.  Astana definitely aren't anywhere near the quality of either Real or Barcelona. They had to go through three qualifying rounds to get this far and so far have lost away to Benfica and drew at home to Galatasaray. Astana at home are a reasonable side but away from home they haven't won any of their four Champions League games this season. Atletico are second in the group and two points clear of a struggling Galatasary side who have their next two games against Benfica.  A comfortable home win is the only likely result here.
