Atletico madrid vs rb leipzig sep Atletico madrid vs rb leipzig sep

Champions League 2024/25 matchday 1 kicks off for Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig when the two sides meet at the Metropolitano in Madrid on Thursday September 19th. Both teams have had unbeaten starts to their respective seasons so far with Atletico winning two and drawing two of their first four League games, while Leipzig have started with two wins from their opening two League games as well as a victory in their DFB-Pokal First round tie. Neither side has ever won the UEFA Champions League, but Atletico are three-time runners-up of club football’s premier competition in 1974, 2014 and 2016, while Leipzig reached the semi-final stage in the 2019/20 season, losing to PSG.

In this betting guide to Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig I will offer my thoughts on who I think will win the match as well as provide you with the best Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig betting odds offered by some of the best betting sites around.

🏆 Atletico Madrid vs Rb Leipzig Prediction – 19/09/2024

At this stage of the guide, I am going to offer you my Atletico vs Leipzig prediction. Atletico and Leipzig will face off at Atletico’s Metropolitano stadium on September 19th. Diego Simeone’s Atletico side currently sit third in the La Liga table after four games, winning two and drawing two of the four matches. They have been their usual defensively solid selves so far keeping defensive shut outs in three of the four matches, whilst at the other end they have scored six goals. Their opponents on Matchday 1 Leipzig have had a similarly unbeaten start to their 2024/25 season and sit third in the Bundesliga, after two matches. Marco Rose’s side have won both their fixtures so far, beating Bochum on the opening day before a stunning comeback from 2-0 down to win 3-2 against Leverkusen, handing the German champions their first League defeat in 36 matches. They have scored four goals so far this campaign, conceding two. I expect this match to be quite an entertaining game as Leipzig are quite an adventurous, attacking side while Atletico are more pragmatic and more comfortable playing on the counter-attack. I think it will be a tight game between two good sides, but I believe Atletico will just edge it at home and get their 2024/25 Champions League campaign off to a winning start.

My Prediction: 🏆Atletico Madrid 2 - 1 RB Leipzig ⚽

  • Tip 1 – Bet on Atletico Madrid to win:

    Atletico have made a solid start to the new season and haven’t conceded a goal since the opening day of the La Liga season against Villarreal. I would expect them to take advantage of the fact that Leipzig will come onto them and pick them off with some well-constructed counter attacking moves. If you fancy a bet on Atletico to win the match Lunubet are currently offering odds of 1.80.

  • Tip 2 – Back on there being over 2.5 goals:

    I fully expect there to be over 2.5 goals in this match. Both sides are more than capable of scoring plenty of goals even if their playing styles are quite different from one another. Madrid in front of their home fans will want to get the Champions League campaign off to a good start while Leipzig are just an adventurous team by nature. Goldenbet are currently offering odds of 1.66 on both sides scoring.

  • Tip 3 – Atletico Madrid to win and Both teams to score:

    I think Atletico will just about get over the line against RB Leipzig, but I would be confident in the German side going to Madrid and scoring at least once. Atletico should be too strong for Leipzig in front of their home fans but if you, like me think Madrid will win but both teams will find the back of the net Directionbet are offering odds of 3.40.

⚡ Atletico Madrid vs RB Leipzig – Head to Head

Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig have only met once before in the UEFA Champions League. That was in the quarter-final of the 2019/20 Covid interrupted campaign when the knockout rounds were confined to one off games, as opposed to the usual two-legged affairs. Leipzig emerged with victory back in 2020 in Lisbon on a scoreline of 2-1.

Atletico Madrid Update

Atletico went into the international break sitting third in the La Liga table behind old rivals Real and Barcelona. Diego Simeone’s men won two and drew two of their first four League games before the break. They have looked impressive especially in their 3-0 victory over fellow Champions League qualifiers Girona.

At the time of writing, Atletico Madrid have no injury concerns ahead of their clash with RB Leipzig in the Champions League.

RB Leipzig Update

Leipzig are coming into this opening Champions League match with some good early form behind them in the Bundesliga. Defeating the 2023/24 undefeated Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen from 2-0 down will surely give Marco Rose’s team some early season confidence as they head to the Metropolitano on matchday 1 of the 2024/25 Champions League.
