  • Competition: Champions League 
  • Date: 19th September 2024
  • Kick-off: 20:00 UTC +1 / 21:00 CEST
  • Venue: Civitas Metropolitano

Atletico Madrid will be looking to continue their recent impressive form on Thursday when they welcome RB Leipzig to Spain for their first Champions League group match of the 2024-25 campaign.

The hosts had to fight for a draw in their opening game of the campaign, with Diego Simeone’s men coming from a goal down twice in the game to draw 2-2 thanks to goals from Llorente and Alexander Sorloth. Los Colchoneros have been much more better both offensively and defensively since then, winning three out of four matches and will go into Thursday’s game as favorites.

Meanwhile, RB Leipzig were also enjoying a great start to the 2024-25 campaign domestically until last weekend. The Red Bulls opened their campaign with 4-1 win over Essen in the DFB-Pokal first round and followed that up with back to back league wins over Bochum and the champions Leverkusen before drawing at home against Union last weekend.

Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips: Atletico to win & over 2.5 goals

Atletico bring a two games winning run in which they didn’t concede into Thursday’s game and their record at the Civitas Metropolitano in Europe is also good. Los Colchoneros a game at this ground in the Champions League since the 2021-22 campaign, going ten unbeaten and won four of the last five.

RB Leipzig failed to hit the back of the net in the Bundesliga last time out, but they can’t be underestimated when it comes to scoring goals especially in Europe. The Red Bulls scored in all but one of their last eight games in the Champions League and just two of those encounters produced less than 2.5 goals.
