Preview and betting odds for Atletico Madrid vs Eintracht Frankfurt at 02:00 on 01/10, Champions League

Atletico Madrid currently sits 4th in La Liga with 14 points from 6 games, having 4 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss, scoring 14 goals and conceding 7. In their last 5 matches across all competitions, Atletico won 3, drew 1, and lost 1, scoring 13 goals and conceding 8. They defeated Real Madrid (5-2), Rayo Vallecano (3-2), Villarreal (2-0), drew with Mallorca (1-1), and lost to Liverpool (2-3). Simeone’s strong defense combined with fast counterattacks, featuring Julián Álvarez and Alexander Sørloth, has been effective. The Metropolitano, where they have won 7 of their last 8 games across all competitions, is a major confidence boost.

Atletico Madrid has key players such as Julián Álvarez, Antoine Griezmann, and Koke. The injuries to José María Giménez, Johnny Cardoso, and Thiago Almada are challenges, but the squad remains robust. With the goal of securing their first Champions League win, Atletico will focus on controlling the game to maximize their home advantage.

Eintracht Frankfurt ranks 6th in Bundesliga with 12 points from 6 matches, recording 4 wins and 2 losses, scoring 17 goals and conceding 12. In their last 5 matches across all competitions, Eintracht won 3 and lost 2, scoring 17 goals and conceding 9. They secured victories against Hoffenheim (3-1), Galatasaray (5-1), Mönchengladbach (6-4), but were defeated by Bayer Leverkusen (1-3) and Union Berlin (3-4). Toppmöller’s open attacking style, with contributions from Jonathan Burkardt and Ritsu Doan, adds strength, but their defense is a weak point. Their away form is decent with 2 wins in their last 3 away matches.

Eintracht Frankfurt includes key players like Jonathan Burkardt, Robin Koch, and Fares Chaibi. The absence of Rasmus Kristensen and doubts about goalkeeper Kaua Santos pose challenges. The two teams have never met before. Considering current form (Atletico with 13 goals, Eintracht with 17 in last 5 matches), the match is expected to be high-scoring, but Atletico Madrid has the advantage due to their consistency and home strength.
