Traditionally, Salzburg started the season in the Austrian Bundesliga powerfully. Jesse Marsh’s team passed six rounds of the tournament without losses. The bulls are in the lead with 18 points in the table, but there is no serious lead over their competitors. The second Rapid has only two points less, whereas the third LASK hardly makes sense to write off, as it has five points less. At the same time, Salzburg is not doing well in the Champions League. In the first round, the Austrian champion dominated in the game with Lokomotiv, but in the end it was content with only one point and a 2:2 draw was recorded in this meeting. In the second round, the Bulls gave a fight to Atl?tico, but could not even catch a draw. A 2:3 defeat in Madrid threw them to the last place in the group.
Atletico looks very solid at the start of the season in the Spanish championship. Diego Simeone’s team has not suffered a single defeat in six rounds. At the moment the “mattress” are in third place in the table with 14 points in the asset, being three points behind the leader in the person of Real Sociedad. On the other hand, the Madrid club played two matches less. In the last round Atletico had not the slightest problem with Osasuna. The 3:1 victory was the third in a row in the championship and in general, the streak reached 22 unbeaten matches in Primera, which certainly cannot but impress. In the Champions League the “mattress” lost without a chance to Bayern in the first round with a score of 0:4, but managed to rehabilitate. In a difficult match with Salzburg, Atletico snatched a 3:2 victory and managed to rise to the second place in the table.
