Atletico Madrid vs Lille Predictions

Atletico can claim another home win in Wednesday's Champions League matchup.

A home win with at least two goals scored is my top tip at the Metropolitano.

Atletico Madrid won their last 6 home matches (Champions League)
Atletico Madrid scored 2+ goals in 8 of their last 9 home matches (Champions League)
Lille lost 4 of their last 9 matches
Lille lost 8 of their last 11 away matches (Champions League)
Lille conceded 2+ goals in 8 of their last 11 away matches (Champions League)

Head to Head

Atletico Madrid and Lille will meet for the first time on Wednesday.

Atletico Madrid Form

Atletico Madrid ended their three-game wait for victory with a much-needed 3-1 win against Leganes on Sunday. Second-half goals from summer signing Alexander Sorloth and Antoine Griezmann secured a first win in four for Los Colchoneros.

Diego Simeone's men return to the Champions League (UCL) stage after a humbling 4-0 defeat against Benfica in Portugal last month. Atletico began their UCL campaign with a 2-1 win against RB Leipzig five weeks ago.

Much more reliable at the Metropolitano, Atletico won eight and lost just one of their last 11 matches on home soil.

Atletico Madrid Team News

Atletico boss Simeone remains unable to call on injured trio Robin Le Normand, Cesar Azpilicueta and Marcos Llorente.

After scoring twice in Sunday's win against Leganes, Alexander Sorloth is again expected to spearhead the host's attack.

Lille Form

Lille head to Spain unbeaten in their last five matches following a goalless draw at Monaco last weekend. Les Dogues won three successive fixtures, including a remarkable 1-0 victory against Real Madrid, before their stalemate at Stade Louis-II on Sunday evening.

Bruno Génésio's men have responded well to a sticky spell in September, which saw them lose four successive matches.

The Ligue 1 outfit began their UCL campaign with a 2-0 defeat at Sporting Lisbon before their shock matchday two victory against the Champions League title-holders.

Lille Team News

Head coach Génésio is unable to call on four first-team players ahead of Wednesday's trip to Madrid. Tiago Santos, Ismaily, Hakon Arnar Haraldsson and Ethan Mbappe are ruled out for the away side.

In-form Canadian forward Jonathan David will lead the Lille attack.

Verdict

Atletico Madrid v Lille

Atletico should have enough quality to see off their Ligue 1 opponents on Wednesday.

I'm backing Atletico to win with a minimum of two goals scored.
