Match Preview
There will be pressure on Atletico Madrid as they return to Champions League action on Tuesday. The Spanish giants currently sit second in the Group E standings, but they could move to the top of the table with a home victory this week. Celtic are still searching for their first win in Group E, but positives would have been taken from their 2-2 draw against their Spanish rivals on matchday three.
Despite that positive result, the Scottish champions are still winless in their last six away matches in the competition. Over that period, they have suffered five defeats. In fact, their latest away win in the competition was a 3-0 success against Anderlecht during Brendan Rogers’ first spell in charge at Celtic Park.

Atletico would have been disappointed to play out a draw against Celtic on matchday three, but they are now unbeaten in seven previous encounters against the Scottish side. In home matches, they have won two of their three matches against the SPL giants.
The Spanish side comes into this fixture having avoided defeat in each of their previous three group stage games. That marks the first time since 2019-20 that they have avoided defeat across the opening three matchdays. However, they haven’t gone four without a loss since the 2016-17 season.
