Bayern Munich will be missing star players in the lineup due to injuries when they face Atletico Madrid in the UEFA Champions League at the Metropolitano Stadium in Spain on Tuesday, 3 November.
Atletico Madrid Possible Lineup vs Bayern Munich
Diego Simeone will field a strong lineup when the Bundesliga champions come into town.
Simeone will not tamper with his winning lineup, which recently won two back-to-back matches in La Liga.
Julian Alvarez, Alejandro Grimaldo, and Guiliano Simeone have been in exceptional form for the Spanish heavyweights. Their goal contributions helped the side win two games in a row.
Grimaldo and young Simeone found the back of the net when Atleti defeated Levante 2-0 on 31 October. Alvarez scored the winning goal in his side’s 1-0 home victory over Deportivo de A Coruña on 24 October. Grimaldo provided the assist.
Alex Baena has also been pulling the strings in midfield and creating scoring chances for his team. Undoubtedly, he will be named in the starting lineup against Bayern due to his consistent performances.
Atletico Madrid possible lineup vs Bayern Munich (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Pubili, Hancko, Grimaldo; G Simeone, Barrios, Hjulmand, Baena; Kang-In Lee, Alvarez.
Bayern Munich Possible Lineup vs Atletico Madrid
Despite missing a couple of star players due to injury, the German powerhouse has plenty of firepower in their squad to put together a strong lineup against Atletico Madrid.
Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari sustained serious injuries during Der Klassiker against Borussia Dortmund. Michael Olise was also taken off due to injury.
However, it has been reported that Olise attended Bayern’s final training session before the Atleti clash.
Meanwhile, Manuel Neuer is also expected to claim his spot between the posts. He was also seen training with the rest of his side on the eve of the Atletico Madrid clash.
Ballon d’Or winner Harry Kane will lead the line despite missing a handful of chances and a penalty against Dortmund. The English forward has been clinical in front of goal in all competitions this season and last season.
Bayern Munich possible lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-2-3-1): Neuer; Laimer, Upamecano, Tah, Davies; Kimmich, Pavlovic; Olise, Karl, Brown; Kane.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League
Atletico Madrid’s defensive tactics make them a hard team to beat at home. As much as they tend to defend in big matches, Simeone’s men have mastered the art of counterattack.
Atleti have been in consistent form of late, avoiding defeat in their last nine games. Out of those matches, they won eight and drew just one in all competitions.
On the other hand, the Bavarians’ 4-2-3-1 structure has seen them remain undefeated in ten matches in all competitions. They won six of those games, with one win and two draws in the Champions League.
The Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich prediction is based on both the European giants’ current form, individual brilliance, tactics, and squad depth. SportPurse favours Bayern to edge Atleti 2-1.
