Atlético Madrid vs Chelsea: Storylines and Head-To-Head
Atlético won’t play this game at home due to all the restrictions in Spain amid the COVID-19 pandemic. Last week, we saw how RB Leipzig struggled against Liverpool while playing on neutral ground and Los Rojiblancos will try to avoid having similar performance. They are hurt after losing to Levante last Saturday and they can’t afford to lose another game now.
Chelsea are having a very good streak, winning six of their last eight games across all competitions, tying the other two. They haven’t lost a game in over a month and will try to keep things that way when they face the current La Liga leaders.
This will be the eighth duel between these two in European competition, with each team winning two matches and tying three, scoring the same amount of goals, 11.
