Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Team News
Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco picked up an injury in a 1-0 win over Malaga and the Belgium international will be assessed on the match day. Diego Godin misses the game with injury, but Jose Gimenez returns to the starting line-up after missing the Barcelona game. Midfielder Tiago Mendes has yet to overcome his long-term injury.
Injured: Diego Godin (10/0), Tiago Mendes (5/0)
Doubtful: Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco (7/0)
Suspended: None
Arjen Robben and Holger Badstuber have yet to overcome their respective injuries, but the good news for the fans is that key defender Jerome Boateng has overcome his injury. Coach Pep Guardiola, though, is unlikely to count on the Germany international for the first leg. Robert Lewandowski is widely expected to lead the line for the visitors against Atletico.
Injured: Holger Badstuber (1/0), Arjen Robben (3/2)
Doubtful: Jerome Boateng (6/0)
Suspended: None
Quick Facts
- Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich meet for the first time ever in a competitive match
- Los Rojiblancos are after their fifth consecutive clean sheet at home in the CL
- Bayern Munich scored exactly two goals in each of their last three away games in the CL
- Bavarians are on a seven-game unbeaten run in the elite competition
- Under 2.5 goals were scored in five of Atletico Madrid’s last seven games in the CL
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction
Atletico Madrid did remarkably well to eliminate Barcelona in the Champions League quarter-finals and considering that los Rojiblancos are tough to beat at home, there is every chance Diego Simeone’s troops will garb something from Wednesday’s showdown at Estadio Vicente Calderon. Atletico Madrid have been impressive at the back in the process and seeing that Pep Guardiola is likely to adopt a cautious approach in the first leg, there is every chance we will see a low-scoring affair in the Spanish capital. Taking everything into account, one goal should separate the two teams at “Calderon”.
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.55 (6/11) @BetVictor
