Last season Atletico won the long-awaited title of champion of Spain, which now needs to be somehow retained. After seven rounds of the current season, the Indians have four victories and two peaceful outcomes, which brought 14 points and the fourth position. However, the gap from the first “Real” is only three points. The line of attack of the capital looks very modest, which differed only nine times, despite the fact that it was possible to return to the composition of Griezmann. After an away victory over Getafe (2:1), the Red-Whites unexpectedly suffered an away defeat to Alaves (0:1). Diego Simeone’s charges had a good start in the group stage of the Champions League, where in the first game they shared the tournament points with Porto (0:0), followed by a victory over Milan (2:1). Today Trippier, who has an ankle injury, will not be able to enter the field.
The non-knock-out ones are the penultimate in the standings, so you can imagine what form the club is in. Thomas Rice’s men have won just one victory since the start of the season, when they beat Mainz at home (2:0). Bochum lost three matches in a row, after which they managed to take points from Stuttgart at home (0:0). The hosts attacked great, but they failed to hit the opponent’s goal. The team from the city of the same name is a newcomer to the Bundesliga, respectively, the guys need time to adapt and become more competitive.
