Atletico Madrid’s form has been extremely stable recently. In the most recent match, coach Diego Simeone’s team beat Sevilla 4-3 in a dramatic way, thereby winning their 9th consecutive victory in all competitions.
With 5 consecutive wins in La Liga, the Metropolitano team is closing in on Barcelona and Real Madrid in the rankings, only 3 points behind Blaugrana but playing 1 less match. In the Champions League, Atletico just crushed Sparta Praha 6-0 in the previous round.
Atletico have been renowned for their defensive sturdiness under Diego Simeone, but their attack has been equally impressive.
In their last five games, Los Rojiblancos have found the back of the net 20 times, an average of four goals per game.
Julian Alvarez has become increasingly integral to the team’s style of play, scoring 11 goals this season, while Antoine Griezmann has been a key figure with nine goals.
Slovan Bratislava is the weakest club in the Champions League this season. After the first 5 rounds, they lost all and conceded 18 goals (the worst in the tournament).
Not to mention, coach Vladimir Weiss and his team were defeated by MSK Zilina in the most recent match in the Slovakian national championship, at the same time allowing their opponents to narrow the gap to only 1 point in the championship race.
On the scale, Atletico Madrid completely outperforms Slovan Bratislava. Victory is within reach of the Spanish representative and it is likely to be a devastating performance from Simeone’s team.
