Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig Prediction & Picks - Champions League
by Simon Day | in Champions League Picks
The second placed team in La Liga takes on the third place team in the Bundesliga on Thursday night, as Atletico Madrid host Leipzig at the Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico made a number of impressive summer signings, including Julian Alvarez and Connor Gallagher, and have picked up 11 points from their opening five league games. It's early days, but this looks like one of the strongest Atletico squads in years and manager Diego Simeone will be confident of challenging for silverware, both domestically and in Europe. Leipzig have also started the campaign in fine style. The recent 2-3 victory at Leverkusen was arguably their most impressive result in recent years and if they can take that form into Europe, they will be a tough test for any side.Limited Offer.

Atletico Madrid against Leipzig : Head to Head (H2H)

Atletico Madrid - Leipzig: Form Analysis
In any case, Los Colchoneros have made a flying start to the season, even if Villarreal and Espanyol Barcelona have managed to hold their own in the league. Unbeaten since the start of the season, Diego Simeone's charges are determined to win the title in any competition. After an ambitious recruitment drive and two positive results in a row, including a 3-0 win over Valencia on Sunday evening, Madrid have prepared themselves in the best possible way for their first big fixture of the season.
Atlético are on the back of two fine victories and will be looking to put Leipzig to the sword today.
The same can be said for the German outfit. Four official matches in the space of a month, including a German Cup qualification, two Bundesliga wins, and a frustrating draw with Union Berlin last weekend. Marco Rose's men will be keen to bounce back from this home defeat, especially as RBL's attacking potential is great at the moment. Eliminated by Real Madrid last season, Rasenballsport are now looking to take the next step in their bid to become a European powerhouse!

Atletico Madrid & Leipzig Squad Analysis
When we spoke of “ambitious recruitment”, the weekend was fruitful for this one. Connor Gallagher found the net against Club Che, as did Julian Alvarez late on. Add players like Griezmann, De Paul and the arrival of Sorloth as a replacement for Morata, and you have a quality attacking sector, with a defensive base as strong as ever under the Cholo's leadership.
With Griezmann, Sorloth, Alvarez, Openda, Sesko and Simons in particular, the attacking potential of this match is impressive.
The Spanish defense will have to be up to the task, as the trio of Openda, Sesko and Simons are set to set the red-and-white rearguard on fire. With the support of a midfield pairing of Haidara and Kampl, danger could arrive at any moment. Doubts are legitimate in the minds of the home team, as the Germans can beat any team in the European Cup.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig Prediction
This is one of the best looking ties of the week, and both of these sides will be confident of progressing to the knockout stages. However, we cannot overlook Leipzig's poor defensive form away from home. It has been over 20 games since they last kept a clean sheet, and we cannot see that run ending against an Atletico side full of confidence. When you also take into account the home side's fantastic defensive form, the odds of 3.00 on an Atletico win to nil become very attractive.
Our prediction for Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig is: Atletico to win to nil, +200 at BetMGM.
