Atlético Madrid vs Bayern Munich prediction 03.11.2026 | Champions League

Atlético Madrid are excellent so far this season. In La Liga, they are second in the standings, with only two points fewer than Barcelona, while in the Champions League, Diego Simeone's team collected a solid four points after three rounds. Atlético Madrid has been excellent in recent weeks, winning eight of their last nine matches. In the most recent outing, they won 2-0 on the road against Levante. Simeone's team didn't dominate, but their excellent efficiency was enough for all three points.

After victory in the previous La Liga round, Diego Simeone talked about his team's form. He commented, "I think we're still a long way from the end of the season. We'll stick to our philosophy of taking it one game at a time, because that's what makes us strong. We'll continue to show the humility we've always had, recognizing what we do well and, of course, the things we don't do so well and need to improve."

Morten Hjulmand received a red card in the last Champions League round and will skip the game against Bayern. Also, Koke and Johnny Cardoso are questionable, and their status will get clearer closer to the kickoff.

Bayern Munich are undoubtedly one of the best European teams. In the Bundesliga, they share the top spot with Borussia Dortmund, while in the Champions League, Vincent Kompany's team is still unbeaten, but they probably expected more than five points after three rounds. Bayern Munich have three wins and four draws in the last seven matches. In the previous game, they played 2-2 at home in a big Bundesliga derby against Borussia Dortmund. The hosts finished with xG of 4.48, while the visitors had only 0.74, and Kompany is probably wondering how his team dropped two points.

Vincent Kompany was ill, so the assistant coach Aaron Danks led Bayern against Borussia Dortmund. After the game, he stated, "Mixed emotions. We're really pleased ​with the performance, especially this second half. Mixed emotions. We're really pleased ​with the performance, especially this second half."

Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari suffered injuries against Borussia Dortmund and are unlikely to play on Tuesday in Madrid. They will join unavailable Luis Diaz, Jamal Musiala, Bara Sapoko Ndiaye, and Manuel Neuer. Also, Michael Olise is questionable for the upcoming tie.
