Bayer continues its not the best season. The club, which finished in the European Cup zone in the last Bundesliga season, now has only one victory since the start of the home championship. In that game, the “lions” beat “Mainz” with a score 3:0. However, Gerardo Seoane’s wards failed in almost all other confrontations. “Glimmer” can be called the last round, in which the “pharmacists” could not yield to “Gertha” 2:2. In the first round of the Champions League, Bayer met another contender for second place in the group, Brugge. The Belgians modestly beat the Lions, scoring the only goal in the first half. In the second 45-minute period Seoane’s wards began to play more actively. They even scored once. However, the goal was canceled after watching the VAR. Also in the second half the Germans received three yellow cards. Ezequiel Palacios, who has had one goal and one yellow card in six games this season, is unlikely to help the team against Atletico. The Argentine suffered a hamstring injury last weekend. Also in the infirmary at Bayer is still Russian goalkeeper Andrey Lunev. But in the ranks of the team is striker Patrick Schick, who since the start of the season has scored the most for the “pharmacists” three goals.
Atletico have the opposite situation this season compared to Bayer. So far, Madrid confirms the status of one of the top clubs in Spain. In the last La Liga draw, the wards of Diego Simeone, who recently became the record holder for the number of games at the head of the “mattress”, managed to finish in the top 4. Now the team also almost only wins in the home championship. Two misses fell on the Indians in meetings with Villarreal (0:2) and Real Sociedad (1:1). In other confrontations the team won. Madrid managed to score three points in the first round of the group stage of the Champions League. As rivals, the “mattress” had another contender for the first line “Porto”. It is noteworthy that up to 80 minutes the opponents could not determine the winner. In the last minutes of the meeting, the clubs began to exchange goals. Griezmann put an end to their confrontation, once again coming out after 60 minutes with a score 2:1. Atletico’s injuries have left striker Matheus Cunha, defenders Jose Maria Jimenez and Sergio Reguilon out of the field. But everything is in order with Madrid with two main scorers Alvaro Morata and Antoine Griezmann. Recall that the Frenchman continues to consistently release on the field only after 60 minutes. So the “Indians” are trying to avoid the mandatory redemption of the player from Barcelona. More 888 soccer prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
