Atalanta hosts Venezia in a Serie A Matchday 7 fixture. The game takes place on Monday, October 12, at 17:30 UK Time in Bergamo.
Atletico Madrid visit Club Brugge in the first match between the two teams in the Champions League playoffs. The match will be played on Wednesday evening at 22:00, with Madrid being the favorites to win.
Form of both teams
Club Brugge is in very good offensive form. In its last 10 matches, the team has 6 wins and scores regularly – 3 goals against Standard Liege, 3 against Olympique Marseille, 4 against Zulte Waregem and 5 against Genk. The evolution at home, where the team plays bravely and presents itself in an attacking manner, is particularly impressive. At this time, the defense is not always stable - goals conceded against more modest opponents such as RAAL Louviers and Zulte Waregem show that Bruges often leaves spaces. This makes their matches productive and dynamic.
Atletico Madrid is traditionally a disciplined team, but recently their results have also been shaky. The team alternates strong victories (5:0 against Betis, 4:0 against Barcelona) with losses and conceded goals (1:2 against Bodo Glimt, 0:1 against Betis, 0:3 against Rayo Vallecano). As a guest, Atletico is not flawless, but every time it manages to score, even when it does not completely dominate. The team has enough class in the fall to punish any mistake of the opponent and will strive to do so against Bruges on Wednesday.
Prediction for Club Brugge - Atletico Madrid
Both teams are in good form and show an offensive style in their recent meetings. Brugge scores regularly at home, and Atletico has the efficiency to score even when away, although it did not score on the field of Rayo Vallecano over the weekend. In view of the attacking power of the hosts and Atletico's ability to create a situation against any opponent, the most logical choice for a prediction for Bruges - Atletico Madrid is both teams to score.
