Leverkusen will look to get some revenge on matchday 4 against Spanish side Athletico Madrid who managed to narrowly come away with all 3 points last time they met by a score of 1-0.
Athletico Madrid
Athletico very rarely loses a match, but they have been dropping plenty of points in La Liga lately with a slew of draws in their last few matches. The most recent was a very tough fought 1-1 draw on the road against Sevilla in which both teams had very similar statistics at the final whistle.
Athletico will know how important it is for them to win this group and not come second so they will be high on motivation here as they will likely need all 3 points to keep pace with Italian side Juventus.

I would not expect much of a change here from this Madrid side as the 4-1-2-1-2 formation worked really well from a defensive standpoint last time out against this same Leverkusen side. Athletico will once again look to frustrate this young German side with solid defending and then counter attacking them and going right after a very weak Leverkusen defense.
Bayer Leverkusen
Leverkusen have been very disappointing this year and given their roster on paper they should be producing a whole lot more on the pitch. Their last game against Borussia Moenchengladbach encapsulated the season perfectly as they were able to create a ton of chances, but couldn’t finish effectively and eventually their defense let them down.
Leverkusen have somehow managed to be even worse in the UEFA Champions League then they have been in the Bundesliga, as they have yet to pick up a single point from three games and suffered a humiliating defeat to Russian side Lokomotiv Moskow in front of their own fans. That does leave Leverkusen in a situation where they have nothing to lose so having the pressure off may be beneficial to a young team who does not have extensive experience in this competition.
Leverkusen should go back to a 4-2-3-1 formation as they seemingly always play in this formation and given they like to play 2 holding midfielders it is surprising they are not better at the back. Look for 100 million euro man Kai Havertz to be in the center of midfield pulling the strings for this Leverkusen side.
Free Athletico Madrid vs Bayer Leverkusen Champions League Prediction:
Athletico Madrid very rarely plays high scoring games, but I do see Leverkusen scoring in this one so I think Madrid will be forced to open up more. Madrid is also not as effective playing their defensive style away from home and Leverkusen might be able to take advantage of an Athletico defense who has lost a ton of talent last summer.
