Prediction: 1-1
Atletico Madrid
BayArena will host a highly-anticipated Champions League game between Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid. The Bundesliga side aim to recover from an unexpected loss to Club Brugge, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as Bayer have been struggling at the back of late. The likes of Amine Adli, Florian Wirtz, Karim Bellarabi, and Andrey Lunev are sidelined with injuries, while Exequiel Palacios is a major doubt.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, showed character in a 2-1 win over Porto, with Antoine Griezmann scoring the winner in the 11th minute of the stoppage time. Diego Simeone’s troops aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but beating Bayer Leverkusen on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Felipe is banned for the match, while fellow defenders Stefan Savic and Sergio Reguilon miss out with injuries, as well as goalkeeper Jan Oblak.
Highlighted Player (Charles Aránguiz):
Charles Aranguiz is a Chilean footballer who plays for Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen as a midfielder. Aranguiz spent his youth career at Universidad de Chile and Cobreloa and he continued playing for los Zorros del desierto at senior level.
The Chilean footballer spent some time on loan at Cobresal as well before joining Colo-Colo in 2009. After playing for the likes of Quilmes, Universidad de Chile and Internacional from 2010 to 2015, Charles Aranguiz signed a contract with Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen on August 13, 2015. Speaking of his international career, Aranguiz has four caps for Chile U20 team and he made his debut for the senior squad in 2009.
The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder was not selected for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, but he represented La Roja at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. Charles Aranguiz was born in Puente Alto (Santiago) on April 17, 1989. His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as both defensive and right midfielder as well. Aranguiz’s preferred foot is right.
Highlighted Team (Atletico Madrid):
Atletico Madrid are a Spanish team that plays in Primera Division (La Liga). Los Rojiblancos or los Colchoneros play their home matches at Estadio Vicente Calderon, which holds up to 54,960 spectators. Atletico Madrid have won 10 La Liga titles, but they have yet to lift the European Cup (Champions League) trophy.
Los Rojiblancos have won 10 Copa del Rey (Spanish Cup) trophies and it has to be noted that they defeated their bitter local rivals Real Madrid in the 2012/2013 Spanish Cup final. The rivalry between the two capital clubs is pretty big and El Madrileno is regarded as one of the most exciting derbies in the world football.
Atletico Madrid played two Champions League finals under Diego Simeone, but they failed to beat Real Madrid in the title games (2013/2014 and 2015/2016). However, the Argentine tactician helped Atletico Madrid win the La Liga trophy in 2014 and, no doubt, he is one of the most successful coaches in the history of the capital club.
