Atletico Madrid will host Feyenoord in a long-awaited Uefa Champions League matchup this Wednesday, October 4th at the majestic Estádio Cívitas Metropolitano stadium. Kick-off will be at 16:45 (UTC) and the weather should be Overcast and a pleasant 67°F. This fixture will mark the first-ever faceoff between these two European powerhouses and is sure to be one to remember.
Atletico Madrid comes into this match in promising form, having won 3 out of 5 of their last matches while producing an incredible 13 goals in the process. This will be a significant test for the home side however, with several players missing due to injury, including P. Barrios, A. Correa, M. Depay, T. Lemar, R. Mandava, A. Morata, Vitolo, and L. Ivanusec. So far, Atletico Madrid has a clean sheet in all their games against similarly ranked opponents this season, scoring an average of 1.0 goals and conceding 1.0 in return, with Álvaro Morata's two goals in the last home game against Real Madrid an especially outstanding feat. With such high-level of attacking potential on display, this should be an enthralling game with plenty of goals to enjoy.
Feyenoord have been in superb form away from home, recording 2 wins and 1 draw from their last 5 matches. They have been particularly dynamic in the attacking third, scoring 11 goals while maintaining a perfect defensive record of 0 losses. This impressive performance has seen Feyenoord climb to first place in the standings, with 3 points secured from their 1 match. S. Giménez was the standout performer on the trip to Ajax, scoring a hat-trick in Feyenoord's 0 - 4 win. No doubt they will be looking to replicate this kind of form in their upcoming matches.
Overall, there have been zero fixtures between Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord, with the former coming out on top in none of the clashes and achieving a draw in the remaining 0 games. Feyenoord have recorded zero victories.
With one point separating Atletico Madrid and Feyenoord in the Uefa Champions League table, Atletico Madrid have a genuine opportunity to seize the top spot and take control of their own destiny. The talented team will be highly motivated to take advantage of this opportunity and, with their powers of concentration and determination, could be driven to score even more goals.
