Atletico Madrid vs Leipzig Prediction: will the hosts be able to perform well in the opening encounter?

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League match which will take place on September 19. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

After starting the new season with a 2:2 draw against Villarreal, Atletico have not conceded again. They beat Girona and Valencia 3:0 each, drew 1:0 with Atletico and drew 0:0 with Espanyol. Simeone seems to be returning to the basic defensive set-up that made Atletico one of the most successful European clubs of the last decade.

The Bulls play more attacking football than Atletico, but their results in the new season are similar. The team has not lost a single match so far. In the Bundesliga, Leipzig beat Bochum 1:0 and Bayer 3:2, and drew 0:0 with Union, while in the German Cup they beat relegated Essen 4:1.

As the start of the season shows, Atletico is again becoming a team that is very difficult to score against. They had four dry matches in a row and it is far from a fact that Leipzig will be able to open their defence. At least, we don't believe in more than one Red Bull goal. At the same time, we don't believe that Atletico will score more than twice - Leipzig hasn't conceded three or more goals since January this year. Accordingly, here we choose the combined bet on 1X and TU (3.5).
