Atletico Madrid take on the visitors FC Copenhagen at “Wanda Metropolitano” in the second-leg fight of the 1/16 final stage of the UEFA Europa League. The match will be played in Madrid on Thursday, February 22nd. The first-leg game ended with 4:1 scoreline in favour of the Spaniards.
Atletico Madrid recaptured a great competitive form in February, having won five consecutive clashes with 11:1 aggregated score. “Los Colchoneros” look awesome in attack, being quite tough in defense which has become typical for them in recent years. In the first-leg battle against the Danes the upcoming hosts have practically decided an issue of their further promotion, thus, they will try to save the forces by using a reserve squad. However, in front of their supporters Atletico Madrid demonstrate powerful performance with any line-up, having lost only twice in 18 home encounters while other matches ended with 11 triumphs and five draws.

FC Copenhagen have failed completely a start of the year 2018. After a winter break the Danes participated in four clashes, having earned three defeats and single victory together with seven goals for and nine goals against in them. It is worth mentioning that in last few years “Loverne” have been unbeatable in Denmark, having conceded goals very seldom and now the team looks helpless. Taking into consideration last autumn, FC Copenhagen have not been able to succeed on the road since the 20th of September across nine fights covering four draws and five failures.
The result of the reverse fixture, the Spaniards’ statistics in the recent games together as well as the Danes results in 2018 argue for the hosts’ triumph.
Prediction for the match: Atletico Madrid to win with -1.0 Asian handicap.
