Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United Analysis
Atleti are off to a flying start in LaLiga, sitting in second place behind Barcelona with a 6-1-1 record. They remain unbeaten on home soil this term, which is certainly a positive sign ahead of United’s visit to the Metropolitano. Diego Simeone’s men have notched four straight victories since the loss to Liverpool on September 9, and during that span, they even won the Madrid derby, 2-1.
The club is fresh off a 2-1 victory over Alaves on Saturday, with defenders Cristian Romero and Alejandro Grimaldo producing the goods. However, Atletico should've scored more goals, registering 22 shots, with seven on target. The fact that none of their attackers found the net is concerning, but the chances were certainly there. Now, we’ll see if the hosts can be more clinical against the Red Devils.
United’s convincing Matchday 1 victory looked great on paper, but it doesn’t overshadow their disappointing start to the campaign. The club have yet to hit the ground running in any capacity, recording just one win, three draws, and two defeats in the Premier League.
The Red Devils had a clear opportunity over the weekend to exploit Tottenham's struggles, but they settled for a point in a 1-1 draw. A Rodrigo Bentancur red card in the 78th minute gave United an advantage, yet they were unable to find the winner. Now, Carrick’s side face the tall task of traveling to the Metropolitano and facing an in-form Atletico outfit. However, they’ve had success against Spanish opposition in recent memory, winning six of their last 10 matches.
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United Injury News
Atletico Madrid are in good shape heading into Tuesday, with Simeone expected to have a fully fit squad available. Grimaldo shook off a recent knock and featured over the weekend, leaving the hosts without any major confirmed absentees.
Manchester United have a much longer injury list. Matthijs de Ligt, Manuel Ugarte, Benjamin Šeško, and Patrick Dorgu are all expected to miss out, while Noussair Mazraoui remains a fitness concern. Luke Shaw and Kobbie Mainoo are also doubtful after missing training on Monday.
Atletico Madrid vs Manchester United Picks
United have been incredibly inconsistent and have sorely lacked a finishing touch in the final third. Atletico, meanwhile, are in excellent form and have looked nearly flawless on home soil. I'll back the hosts to take care of business on Tuesday.
