Atletico Madrid vs Red Bull Salzburg Predictions

• Atletico won eight of their last nine home games in the Champions League.
• Salzburg scored at least once in 29 of their last 30 competitive fixtures.
• Salzburg notched in five of their six UCL group games last season.

Atletico to bounce back against Austrians

After an evening of chasing shadows in Munich against European champions Bayern on match day one, Atletico will be determined to get their group campaign back on track against an exciting RB Salzburg team this week.

The Austrians were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Lokomotiv Moscow in their first continental outing last week, though a test against a more polished Atletico outfit should prove a far sterner one.

Diego Simeone’s men won eight of their last nine home matches in the competition, and emboldened by a victory against Real Betis at the Wanda Metropolitano on Saturday, Los Colchoneros should have enough momentum to see off their Austrian visitors.

Salzburg continue to weave some pretty attacking patterns under Jesse Marsch however, and having found the net at least once in 29 of their last 30 competitive games, a consolation goal looks within their capabilities.

For those reasons, the Atletico win and both teams to score combination is advised for Tuesday, while a 3-1 Madrid correct score prediction is also favoured.
