Again, something went wrong at Arsenal. The team repeats its last year’s path, when it failed even to break into the European Cups, having a set of star-level players. After 10 rounds of the current championship, the Gunners managed to get five victories and drew two times, which brought 17 points and sixth place in the standings. After two consecutive peaceful outcomes, the red-whites chalked up two important victories over Aston Villa (3:1) and Leicester (2:0). The attack line looks very weak, which differed only 12 times. Jaka and Tierney won’t be able to play tonight.
Atletico is going through difficult times. The team won the long-awaited La Liga tournament, but so far they cannot regain their concentration, which is reflected in the results. In the Champions League tournament the “Indians” won only one victory and a draw after four rounds, which brought four points and the third position. In this tournament the fate of teams will be decided by the last rounds, while only Liverpool have closed the issue of reaching the next stage. In the Primera Diego Simeone’s wards scored six successful duels and four draws in 11 rounds, which brought the capital’s team to the fourth position. It should be noted 10 conceded goals, which is unusually a lot for Madrid. After a draw with Levante (2:2), the red-whites confidently beat Betis (3:0) at home. Today in the infirmary are Chaponich, Lemar and Llorente, who has a thigh injury.
