Team News

Atletico
RBL
  • Reinildo and Borja Garces are ruled out for Atletico, while Pablo Barrios will be assessed.
  • Conor Gallagher scored on his first Atletico start at the weekend but he may drop out of the XI as Diego Simeone rotates his squad.
  • Assan Ouedraogo and Xaver Schlager miss out of for RB Leipzig.
  • Arthur Vermeeren may come in for Amadou Haidara in the middle of the park.

Prediction

  • Atletico Madrid have started the season well, picking up 11 points from their opening five games. Atleti are yet to concede at the Wanda this season, which bodes well for Thursday's welcome of RB Leipzig.
  • Likewise, the German side have made an unbeaten start to the campaign, claiming seven points from the opening three matches.
  • RB Leipzig have the personnel to hurt Atletico but the Spanish side should get their Champions League campaign off to a winning start.
