- 马德里竞技本赛季保持不败。
- Atleti在过去的八场主场比赛中赢得了六场（D1，L1）。
- 莱比锡在四场比赛中进了八个球。
不败二人组的大考验
马德里竞技和莱比锡RB在本赛季的国内比赛中都取得了出色的开局，现在他们将在周四的欧冠比赛中对决，这对两队来说都很棘手。
马德里竞技即将前往巴黎圣日耳曼和本菲卡，而莱比锡即将主场迎战尤文图斯和利物浦，因此双方都将在西班牙首都的首场比赛视为各自欧洲抱负的关键比赛，
莱比锡队本赛季在客场取得了最好的成绩，包括在德国冠军勒沃库森队取得了惊人的胜利；尽管他们在那次成功中确实有一两点运气。
然而，Los Colchoneros有着令人印象深刻的主场战绩，这里最好的选择似乎是支持主场胜利。
马德里竞技本赛季在大都会体育场举行的三场西甲比赛中取得了两场胜利和一场平局，他们还没有在自己的球迷面前认输。回到上个赛季，马德里队在这个场地赢得了过去八场比赛中的六场；这场比赛包括在去年欧冠四分之一决赛中战胜最终亚军多特蒙德队。
莱比锡队可能是第一支在马德里对阵马德里竞技队的比赛中进球的球队，因为他们在两场客场比赛中打进了7球，所以主场3-1获胜是正确的得分选择，因为迭戈·西蒙尼的球队在两场主场比赛中正好进了3球，
最后，安托万·格里兹曼（Antoine Griezmann）在周末对阵瓦伦西亚的比赛后随时提出上诉。格里兹曼上赛季在欧洲的10场比赛中打入6球，他以稳定的状态参加了这场比赛，在这座体育场的最后三场比赛中打进2球。
- Atletico Madrid are unbeaten this season.
- Atleti have win six of their last eight home games (D1, L1).
- Leipzig have scored eight goals in four games.
Big test for unbeaten duo
Atletico Madrid and RB Leipzig have both made excellent starts to the season domestically and now face off in a Champions League game that looks tricky for both teams on Thursday.
Atleti have trips to PSG and Benfica to come, while Leipzig have home examinations against Juventus and Liverpool on the horizon so both will see this opener in the Spanish capital as a key game in terms of their respective European aspirations,
Leipzig have picked up their best results on the road this term, including a stunning win at German champions Bayer Leverkusen – although they did enjoy a slice of luck or two in that success.
However, Los Colchoneros have an impressive home record and the best bet here looks to be siding with a home win.
Atleti have two wins and a draw in three La Liga games at the Metropolitano Stadium this season and they are yet to concede in front of their own fans. Going back into last season, the Madrid side have won six of their last eight at this venue – a run that includes a win over eventual runners-up Borussia Dortmund in the quarter-finals of last year’s Champions League.
Leipzig could be the first side to score against Atleti in Madrid as they have hit seven goals in their two away games, so a 3-1 home win is the correct score pick as Diego Simeone’s men have scored exactly three goals in two of their home games,
Finally, an anytime effort from Antoine Griezmann appeals after the Frenchman’s effort against Valencia at the weekend. Griezmann starred in Europe last season with six goals in 10 games and he comes into this match in solid form, with two goals in his last three appearances at this stadium.
