This is a continental cup game in the Champions League, with Atlético de Madrid hosting Manchester United. The hosts just crushed their league opponent 4-0, while the visitors could only manage a 1-1 draw in back-to-back league games, so the two teams are clearly in different shape. Atlético de Madrid have won 4 league games in a row, and among those they kept a clean sheet as well. Meanwhile, Manchester United have not won in 4 straight games, with their last two both ending 1-1. The visitors' attack still relies more on late attacking moments than on the opening phase. This game is likely to see the hosts taking the initiative and attacking, because Atlético de Madrid's style is to dominate possession and create chances consistently. Manchester United will probably sit back and wait for counterattacks, especially late on when they tend to get more attacking moments than at other times. If the hosts score first, the game will flow even more in one direction.
