In their turn, Atletico Madrid show well-balanced and tight performance in defense, allowing themselves to make little number of mistakes. “Los Colchoneros” concede goals rarely, for instance, the Spaniards recorded four goals against in six encounters conducted within the UEFA Champions League. Still, it should be noted that three out of four those goals were conceded at the home ground. As for the UEFA Europa League, FC Copenhagen, Lokomotiv Moscow, Sporting and Arsenal have managed to upset Atletico Madrid with scored goals. In other words, the side’s defense is far from being ideal and a wide range of factors may force it to concede goals.
Atletico Madrid are considered to be the favourites of the Eurocup final, basing on their tough defense. However, the upcoming fight will be held in France, presuming that Marseille will get an astonishing support and great motivation in it. Taking into account the mentioned above as well as the fact that both rivals cannot boast with the faultless play in defense, there is a high possibility that they will swop by the goals.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score.
