Plain-sailing in the Spanish La Liga, Atletico Madrid have quickly risen to the top of the standings very early in the season. More impressively for Los Rojiblancos, they are leading the way in the division, even with two games in hand.

However, Simeone will be concerned that his boys are struggling to replicate these outstanding domestic displays in the Champions League. With only six points on the board in Europe, expect a strong showing from Atleti as they look to beat direct rivals RB Salzburg to Round-of-16 qualification.

Salzburg vs Atletico Madrid Team News

Beginning the previous domestic campaign poorly, Salzburg were made to play second-fiddle to LASK Linz for most parts of the campaign. Ultimately, they had to settle for a place behind Die Laskler at the end of the regular season.

Springing up a resurgence in the playoffs, RB Salzburg rose from their ruins to secure top-spot on the standings, consequently clinching the league title. With that success story, Die Roten Bullen safely advanced to the CL group stages.

They must have been gutted with the outcome of the Champions League draws – the ritual throwing them in the mix with the likes of Bayern Munich, Atletico Madrid and Lokomotiv Moscow. The media expected them to be outclassed in this qualifying section.

However, Jesse Marsch’s charges have proven to be a handful for these heavyweights in Group A, unbeaten against Lokomotiv Moscow and giving Atletico Madrid a tough game in their first encounter on matchday two.

Their resilience has propelled them to third-place with four points on the board – only two points behind this week’s opposition Atleti. Victory in this fixture will ensure the Red Bulls safely advance to the knockout rounds of this competition.

Knowing fully well that Atletico Madrid are also in dire need of a result here, Salzburg must turn in a performance of the highest quality to stand a chance. Simeone’s men haven’t been at their races in the Champions League this season.

Sharing the spoils far too much, Atletico Madrid have secured three draws from their five matches so far. Even though the club supporters will be fed up of these two dropped points, they will be hoping for one more draw against Salzburg to get them into the CL knockout rounds.

Injured or Suspended Players

Salzburg: Youba Diarra, Antoine Bernede and Ousmane Diakite.
Atletico Madrid: Sime Vrsaljko, Manu Sanchez, Diego Costa, Renan Lodi and Yannick Carrasco.

Salzburg vs Atletico Madrid Predictions

There is really no doubting Salzburg’s quality as they have proven to be no pushovers. However, we cannot see them emerging victorious against this dire Atletico Madrid side on Wednesday.

Perhaps, a share of the spoils is the best they can hope for as victory is wide off the mark. As we cannot vouch for the visitors to claim an outright win, the safest punt will be a double chance in favor of Los Rojiblancos.
