The “Bees” are having a challenging season. In the Bundesliga, the team is currently fifth, trailing fourth-placed Leipzig only on additional indicators. In the last round, they managed to defeat Borussia Monchengladbach away with a score of 2-1, with both goals scored by Zabitzer. This mentioned victory was their fifth in six confrontations, indicating good form. In the Champions League, Borussia was able to win the “group of death” and then eliminate PSV, giving them a chance to advance to the semifinals.
The “Mattress Makers” have been inconsistent this season. The team is capable of playing top-level football, but it doesn’t always happen. In La Liga, they are currently fourth, with a 4-point lead over fifth place. Their main task is to stay in the top quartet. In the last round, Atletico defeated direct competitor Girona at home with a score of 3-1. Before the away match, the club has a slight advantage; it’s enough not to lose to progress further.
