Atlético Madrid form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the quarter-finals against Manchester City.

0-0-1 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Atlético Madrid so far this season.

An away draw last time out for Atlético, facing Real Sociedad in a game that ended 1-1. Morata, an attacker, was the champion performer for the side in that fixture, receiving a rating of 7.74 (out of 10). Morata scored one goal and hit one key pass.

A strong away win before that one, visiting Valencia and winning 1-0.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Atlético Madrid have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 1 and lost 2.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the La Liga game versus Celta de Vigo in only three days. This game is also played here.

Early season league goal statistics from Atlético Madrid's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.

Porto form and stats

Porto was sent out of Champions League in the group stage last season.

Porto have six points from their first three away games in the Primeira Liga, meaning two victories and a loss.

Two away games in a row for Porto, whose manager Conceição could celebrate last time after the win against Gil Vicente. Midfield player Eustáquio was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.44/10. Eustáquio signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and had 40 successful passes (of 46 total).

It was a Primeira Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Rio Ave wasn't a success with a 1-3 loss.

A quick return to home after this game, as Porto are hosting Chaves in the Primeira Liga only three days away.

The visiting Porto have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 4 goals from 3 games.

Head 2 Head

Atlético have put together a streak of 4 consecutive matches without losing (3-1-0) when playing Porto.

The matches between these sides sometimes lean towards being hostile, having seen 4 sending-offs from the last eight duels.
