Our predictions for Atletico Madrid vs Union St. Gilloise
Match Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Union St. Gilloise
Atletico Madrid might be looking to bounce back after a couple of tough losses. They've shown they can score big at home, like that 5-1 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt. Union St. Gilloise, on the other hand, have struggled at home but managed a solid win away against PSV Eindhoven. This could be a tight game, with Atletico likely to dominate possession and Union looking to hit on the counter.
Union's recent form suggests they can be dangerous on their day, but their home losses to Inter and Newcastle are a concern. Atletico's away form has been patchy, but they've got the firepower to cause problems. Expect a game where both teams will have their moments, but Atletico's experience might just see them through.
Form Guide & Team Overview
Atletico Madrid
