2845
One of the biggest matches in the Champions League this week is between Red Bull Salzburg and Atletico Madrid.
The game will take place at the Red Bull Arena with the hosts needing a win to qualify for the knockout stages while the visitors know a point will be enough to see them claim second place.
Red Bull Salzburg come into the match having suffered a 1-0 defeat at Admira Wacker in the Austrian Bundesliga on the weekend.
That was their first defeat in 3 games following the 3-1 win at Lokomotiv Moscow in the Champions League and the superb 8-2 victory at St. Pölten in the Austrian Bundesliga.
However, Red Bull Salzburg have been finding victories difficult to come by in recent matches and they have won only 2 of their last 7 games in all competitions.
They have recorded just a single victory from their 5 Champions League group games this season with their only other point coming in a 2-2 draw at Lokomotiv Moscow in the opening round of fixtures.
Trends show Red Bull Salzburg are an exciting team to watch in the Champions League and they have seen over 2.5 goals scored in each of their last 7 games in the competition.
In addition, both teams have found the back of the net in those 7 Champions League matches and Red Bull Salzburg have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 13 Champions League games.
Atletico Madrid strengthened their position at the top of La Liga on the weekend thanks to a 2-0 home win over Real Valladolid. They are currently 1 point ahead of second place Real Sociedad with two games in hand.
The victory against Real Valladolid means Atletico Madrid are undefeated in their last 10 games in all competitions and have lost only one of their last 15 matches.
However, wins have been difficult to come by in the Champions League and Atletico Madrid may have lost only one game in the competition this season but they have also picked up just a single victory in 5 attempts.
The win came at home against Red Bull Salzburg and since then Atletico Madrid have been held to a draw in 3 successive Champions League matches.
Trends show Atletico Madrid have lost 5 of their 6 most recent away games in the Champions League.
Team news and Red Bull Salzburg will be without Mohamed Camara who is suspended. Antoine Bernede is out with a shin injury while Noah Okafor is doubtful due to a fever.
Atletico Madrid will be without the injured quartet of Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco, José Giménez, Diego Costa, and Manu Sanchez.
This has the makings of being an extremely exciting game with both teams finding the back of the net. However, Atletico Madrid have the experience when it comes to qualifying for the knockout stages of the Champions League and we expect them to come out on top in this match with over 2.5 goals scored.
