Atleti to Secure Fifth Straight UCL Victory

Salzburg have had a tough Champions League campaign, picking up just three points from a possible 21. They have lost six of seven in the league phase, conceding a whopping 23 goals and scoring just four.

The Red Bulls’ only victory came against Feyenoord in November. Since then, they have lost three in a row, shipping five goals twice. Last week, Salzburg lost 5-1 to Real Madrid away from home.

Atleti are all but through to the last 16. The Spanish side can lose in Salzburg and still finish in the top eight, while a point will undoubtedly be enough. They head into the final round of fixtures sitting fourth on 15 points.

Since back-to-back losses to Benfica and Lille in October, Simeone’s side have been superb in Europe, picking up four straight wins. The Madrid giants will be looking for another three points on Wednesday.
