Arsenal vs Atletico Madrid form
Significant investments in personnel are helping Arsenal thrive. Thanks to an increased squad in both quality and depth, The Gunners have progressed strongly from the starting line and are ready to compete in every competition they participate in.
In the Premier League, Mikel Arteta's team is comfortably leading the table after eight rounds. Currently, the Gunners have 19 points, 3 and 4 points more than their two main rivals in the title race, Man City and Liverpool, respectively.
Declan Rice and his teammates are in high spirits right now. Last weekend, thanks to their away win at Craven Cottage against Fulham, the North London giants extended their winning streak to five matches.
Besides their consistent goal-scoring ability, a solid defensive system is also becoming a crucial foundation on Arsenal's journey to glory. After 11 matches this season in all competitions, the Emirates Stadium team has only conceded a mere 3 goals, a record unmatched by any other team in Europe's top leagues.
In the Champions League, Arsenal also had a perfect start. In both matches against Athletic Bilbao and Olympiacos, Arteta's team won both games with the same 2-0 scoreline, thus temporarily placing them 5th in the standings.
If The Gunners secure three more points against Atletico Madrid, their chances of finishing in the top eight and securing a direct spot in the Round of 16 are very high. This is because in the remaining five matches, the Premier League representatives will only have to face two more tough opponents: Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.
With their impressive performances since the start of the season, Arsenal probably don't fear any opponent right now. If they can improve their attacking prowess slightly, and their key players avoid injury or decline in form, the Gunners will remain virtually unbeatable, at least until the end of the first half of the season.
Atletico Madrid could be considered one of the toughest opponents for the Emirates Stadium side in the remainder of October, alongside Crystal Palace and Brighton. However, home advantage and significantly more consistent form still give Arteta's team plenty of confidence.
Atletico Madrid once impressed with spectacular victories against Real Madrid (5-2) or Eintracht Frankfurt (5-1), but overall, those were matches where Diego Simeone's team played at home.
Atletico Madrid's poor away form has prevented them from achieving the desired position in both La Liga and the Champions League. In all five away matches this season, the visitors have yet to win, drawing three and losing two.
