Wednesday Top Match: Atletico Madrid vs Benfica

Striking encounter in today (Wednesday) is that Atletico Madrid and Benfica played on a new date for the Champions League (group stage).

Keep in mind that Atletico Madrid comes from losing 0-1 to Villarreal at the Madrigal, losing their second game in the league competition. Currently he has 12 points in the table, while Villarreal 4 leader. It is a team that is still combative and tidy, having to improve their collective proposal despite the offensive potential provided by Jackson and Griezzman.

On the other hand do not forget that the "mattress" box has scored more than acceptable results in their field, with the exception of the 1-2 defeat to Barcelona. From there on, he beats Las Palmas 1-0 and 2-0 to Getafe. Remember that the team already has 3 points in the group after winning 0-2 at Galatasaray.

Continuing the analysis know that Benfica still adding points in the Portuguese league, adding the aim being away in the Champions League. These days, it has 3 points in the group after winning 2-0 in Astana on the opening day. It is expected that the "Eagles" pose a tactical game and fought in midfield.

Now you have to finish the picture comes Lusitanian beating Pacos Ferreira at home, managing to recover from the painful drop in the classic against Porto (1-0 with just a few minutes left).

After reviewing the details of this comparison I win the game for a local table due to the following reasons: First, because Atletico Madrid is a studded table knows what plays and has explosive elements of midfield forward (Griezzman, Jackson Martinez, Vietto, the "Niño" Torres, Koke, Gabi). Second, because the "mattress" seek to add his second victory in the competition and quickly routed their classification. And third, because Benfica had many problems before the classic Porto played at the Estadio do Dragao (little creation and excessive friction) stadium. Given this reality, we believe that Atletico can get a lead and hold it until the final whistle, as it has proved a complicated set of beat at the Calderon.
