Predictions

A key role in this upcoming game plays the fact that both teams are progressing forward in the playoff round in the Champions League. Given Bayern's condition, they'll play consolidated, but won't expose on more risks of injury. Their primary concern in the next period will be the Bundesliga, as will be Atletico's LaLiga.

It will be a match with many predicted opportunities, but not many of them too serious. The primary focus on both ends will be the ball possession and the long ball combinatory gameplay, so if there isn't a surprise goal the game will most definitely end as a draw.

Final Score – 1 : 1
