Monaco - Atl Madrid

Monaco hosts Atletico Madrid in a match from Group A of the UEFA Champions League. Let’s take a look at this clash in our 1x2 socccer predictions today .

Monaco qualified for the Champions League after finishing second in the French Ligue 1 last season. Leonardo Jardim’s team was unable to defend its title in the French league, but it is completely normal taking into account the strenght of PSG. But still - being second after selling so many of their star players, it was a great achievement for Monaco.

Two years ago Monaco reached the 1/2-finals of the Champions League. Now their team is completely different and many of these stars are not part of the team anymore. But led by a great manager like Jardim, Monaco are still able to play good football and be one of the best teams in France.

Right now Monaco are not enjoying the best possible start in the Ligue 1, though. They didn’t start the new season very good and right now the former champions are 15th in the league standings with just 5 points won from 5 matches played. The team surely have to improve its form in near future, because these results are simply not good enough.

Atletico Madrid reached the Champions League twice in the last few years, but they lost both times against Real Madrid. The team’s manager Diego Simeone doesn’t hide his intentions to take his team to another final. And you can be sure that Atletico have enough class and quality to do so.

Of course, last season they shocking missed a participation at the 1/8-finals, but few months later they won Europa League.

These are our 1x2 socccer predictions today for the Champions League clash between Monaco and Atletico Madrid from Group A of the competition.
