Seattle Sounders vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Tips
The US club, coached by Brian Schmetzer, lost 1:2 to Botafogo on the opening day, but looked more than decent. Seattle generated chances with confidence and, according to xG, even outplayed the Brazilians, which speaks volumes. The team is a consistent scorer, scoring in 11 of its last 13 international matches, and boasts impressive statistics at home: 32 goals in 13 matches.
Atletico have serious cause for concern: the heavy defeat against PSG (0:4) on matchday 1 reignited old problems in Simeone’s side. They again showed defensive vulnerability and an alarming offensive impotence: only one shot on target in the entire match. Given their historically low productivity away from home, especially in international competitions, the alarm bells are ringing.
