Where It Could Be Decided: Bayern's attack vs Atletico's back line

Bayern have scored at least twice in each of their last five games. Also, Atletico have let in only two goals across five. On top of that, one of those runs has to end. In addition, Bayern are without Jamal Musiala and Luis Díaz, which removes some creativity. Atletico, meanwhile, are missing Johnny Cardoso and Cristian Romero. Moreover, the visitors will need patience against a deep block, while Atletico will look to hurt them on the counter.

How the Game Should Unfold

Expect Atletico to sit compact and let Bayern keep the ball. On top of that, the first goal could come from a set piece or a quick transition rather than sustained pressure. In addition, if Atletico score first, Bayern will have to push forward and leave space behind. Moreover, either way, our Atletico Madrid vs Bayern tips sees a close game with goals at both ends rather than a clean sheet.

History Between the Clubs

FotMob lists six meetings: three Bayern wins, two for Atletico and one draw. On top of that, the margin is small, which suggests neither side has ever had a decisive edge in this fixture. It also means history gives us little reason to lean strongly either way.
