Game Preview
On Wednesday, a major Champions League match will take place at Celtic Park as Celtic takes on Atletico Madrid in an effort to earn their first victory in Group E. Celtic’s Champions League campaign has gotten off to a terrible start as they presently lie at the bottom of the Group E table after dropping both of their first 2 games. This week, Atletico Madrid will try to take control of the top spot in the group as they pursue a second consecutive triumph in the competition.
Brendan Rodgers’ team must prevail in this game if they want to have any chance of moving on to the knockout rounds after dropping the initial 2 Group E games to Feyenoord and Lazio.
Last time they played, Celtic played effectively over the Serie A team and earned a lead via Kyogo Furuhashi. Lazio immediately leveled the score, though, and in the waning moments, Pedro’s header gave them a 2-1 victory. After Ange Postecoglou left the team to join Spurs, the team’s performances were inconsistent in the initial stages of the campaign as they adapted to Rodgers’ coaching style. However, the Irishman is beginning to weave his magic once more, and they looked outstanding in a 4-1 victory over Hearts at the weekend.
Simeone’s team has also had a strong start in the Champions League, going 1-1 in Rome and then thrillingly defeating Feyenoord 3-2 inside the Wanda Metropolitano. In the following doubleheader, Celtic and Atletico Madrid will compete for all three points in an effort to secure a spot in the knockout rounds.
Although Atletico Madrid will be a much tougher opponent, Diego Simeone’s team is confident going into Glasgow after defeating Celta Vigo 3-0 in La Liga. With that triumph, Atletico now has 7 victories in as many La Liga contests, a remarkable run that also featured a 3-1 derby triumph against Real Madrid.
