Latest football commentary Atletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen
Atletico Madrid under the leadership of coach Diego Simeone created an earthquake when establishing a streak of 15 consecutive wins. This was a memorable milestone, the most glorious streak in the club's history, but unfortunately was stopped by Leganes.
However, that impressive run of results has strengthened Atletico's position in La Liga, helping them rise to the top and become a strong candidate for the championship this season. However, Atletico's journey in the Champions League has not been as smooth as in the domestic league. After 6 group stage matches, they are currently in 11th place with 12 points, a significant gap compared to the top teams. However, the door to the next round is still open as they are only 1 point behind 8th-placed Lille.
Champions League statistics show Atletico have won 4 and lost 2, a rather inconsistent form and have not met expectations. Head-to-head history also shows Atletico have a balanced relationship with Leverkusen when the two teams have met 10 times recently, with 3 wins for each side, and 2 matches ending in draws.
The most recent match between the two teams in the Champions League in the 2022-2023 season also ended in a 2-2 draw. Home advantage is a big advantage for Atletico, as they often reap good results against opponents from Germany. Specifically, Atletico has won 17 matches and lost only 3 matches in 25 times hosting Bundesliga representatives. In particular, Atletico is also maintaining high form at home in the Champions League, when they won 7 and lost only 1 in the last 8 matches.
Bayer Leverkusen, under the talented leadership of coach Xabi Alonso, are showing an extremely formidable face this season, especially in the Champions League. After 6 group stage matches, Leverkusen has 13 points, thanks to 4 wins, 1 draw and only 1 loss. They have also impressed by scoring 12 goals and conceding only 5. That stable performance has helped them temporarily rank 4th, equal on points with Lille in 8th place on the rankings.
This shows the importance of the upcoming confrontation, when the two teams will fiercely compete for the ticket to the next round. Leverkusen is showing very impressive form, with a series of 12 consecutive wins in all competitions, an extremely impressive achievement. In the domestic league, they are a great force when they are ranked 2nd on the rankings, only 4 points behind Bayern Munich and are full of confidence to defeat Sparta Prague in the upcoming match.
However, Leverkusen's record as a guest in Spain is not very good. They have only won 3 out of 21 matches against Spanish teams. Moreover, it has been a long time since Leverkusen was able to get past the group stage of the Champions League (2016-2017 season). Therefore, this match is of special importance to Leverkusen in the goal of proving their strength and winning the right to continue. They are very eager to show themselves, overcome their limits, and go deeper in this prestigious European arena.
