Form:

Atletico Madrid: W-W-D-W-D

Players To Watch For:

Antoine Griezmann (Atletico)

Antoine Griezmann is always the man in question for Atletico. He is the heart of the attack for the Madrid team, and every move goes through him. If he plays well, Atletico does well. Griezmann has scored 2 goals in the 2024-25 season of LaLiga so far, in matches against Valencia and Girona. He’s been involved in games from the start of the season, with contributions in both goals and gameplay buildup, indicating his integral role in the team.

Péter Gulácsi (RB Leipzig)

Péter Gulácsi will be the centre of attention away from home to safeguard RB Leipzig’s goal. He made 14 saves so far in the matches played. He has managed to keep 2 clean sheets and conceded 8 goals. However, he will have to be an important cog against Atletico away from home if RB Leipzig do want to take a point away with them.
