My Prediction
Atlético Madrid by 3Alright, let's have a look at this Atlético Madrid versus ŠK Slovan Bratislava on deck. Atlético entering the match with Jan Oblak between the sticks after posting an impressive 7.26 rating with 18 saves. On the opposite end, well, we're not quite sure who's minding the net for Slovan Bratislava - that information seems to have mysteriously vanished.
Onto the players now. Bratislava's line-up features the likes of Kyriakos Savvidis, Idjessi Metsoko, and Danylo Ignatenko. Atlético, however, has just a tad more firepower. I'm talking about the star-studded lineup led by Marcos Llorente, Antoine Griezmann, and Julián Álvarez.
A quick peek at the tournament records has Atlético leading the way with a 3-0-2 record compared to Bratislava's rather sorry state of affairs of 0-0-5.
The recent results tell the same story. Bratislava's latest games have borne the fruit of defeat after defeat. Atlético's journey, although dappled with a couple of slips like their matches against Lille and Benfica, on the other hand, has been much brighter.
So conclusion time. Atlético's come out in better shape on the pitch and on paper. Will they win this? I'd say, pretty likely.
