Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow Soccer Betting Picks

Atletico have been an unrecognizable team this season despite remaining a low-scoring team, but Simeone’s team have also had a hard time achieving.

When previously revealed to be a team with tremendous effectiveness in the face of the scarcity of opportunities created, nowadays the team even creates opportunities cannot achieve them.

The Spanish team have not won in 4 consecutive matches, and in the last 3 failed to score any goals.

Despite the series of less positive results, Simeone still believes in the quality of his team and that the idea of ​​the game he has implemented will succeed.

Atletico needs to win to secure the eighth pass in what is one of the team’s goals.

Giménez is recovered but Simeone has not yet decided to give the Uruguayan central the title or will remain Felipe and Hermoso on the defensive axis, injured Vrsaljko, Vitolo, Diego Costa and Savić will be no option.

Lokomotiv no longer have a chance to remain in European competition, the Russians have won their first round in Germany against Leverkusen but have since lost all Champions matches.

And even in the Russian league life does not go well with the Russian runners-up, in the last 6 matches Lokomotiv have only won 5 points, dropped to 5th place and 11 points from the lead.

It is acknowledged by the players themselves that the past month has been complicated, and there is the verge of a winter break when players only think of reversing the negative results recorded in their last matches.

Punished Barinov, injured João Mário, Djordjević and Guilherme will not be available.
