International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both Lokomotiv Moskva and Atlético Madrid are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Lokomotiv and Atlético Madrid.
These teams have little in common geographically as Atlético Madrid have to travel 4000 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

Last season, Lokomotiv's Champions League journey ended in the group stage.The story so far in the Premier League for Lokomotiv Moskva at their home stadium (RZD Arena) is 4 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats.
Lokomotiv are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Sochi. Ahead of that match, Lokomotiv lost 1-2 at home to Bayern München.

Atlético Madrid form and stats
Atlético was sent out of Champions League in the 8th finals last season.The seven points Atlético Madrid have gathered from their first three away trips in the La Liga is impressive and could lead to great things if the form continues. Things are running smoothly for Atlético Madrid who hasn't tasted defeat in their last 22 matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Real Madrid. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Real Madrid game have they lost an away game, meaning Atlético Madrid has taken points from eleven away matches in a row.
It's the second away game in a row for Atlético, but there's smiles all around after the 3-1 victory versus Osasuna in the La Liga last time out. A home win before that, celebrating 3-2 vs Salzburg.
As mentioned earlier, Atlético will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in zero wins (zero by two or more goals winning margin), zero draws and one surprising defeat.
A new game in only four days for Atlético Madrid, the La Liga home match versus Cadiz. Busy days.
Atlético are not goal shy away from home in the league, finding the net 5 times in 3 away games so far. The Atlético defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 3 games).
