EUROPE: Champions League

Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow Soccer Betting Tips

Will the fate of Pool A be almost definitively sealed at the end of this 4th day of the Champions League? This Wednesday, while Bayern Munich will host Red Bull Salzburg, Atlético Madrid will host Lokomotiv Moscow at the Wanda Metropolitano.

Unsurprisingly, after 3 meetings, the Bavarian club is leading the way, with 9 points taken out of 9 possible. If logic is respected, the Germans should stamp their ticket for the Round of 16 at the end of this J4, and the Colchoneros should soon follow. With 4 points, the Madrid club is still far from being out of this group, but if the success against the Russian club is at the rendezvous, qualification will be on track. In Russia, Diego Simeone’s men could not do better than take 1 point (1-1), but the situation should be very different at Wanda Metropolitano, which has just witnessed a convincing victory against FC Barcelona!
