Union St. Gilloise
Royale Union SG have been impressive in their domestic league, but their performances in the Champions League have been a completely different story.
This time, they face an opponent quite similar in style to the team that recently outclassed them, Inter Milan, who beat them 4-0 at home.
Atletico Madrid play with a comparable tactical setup, using two forwards, a compact defensive structure, and quick transitions that punish teams relying on possession-based football.
Those characteristics directly challenge Union SG’s preferred style, as every misplaced pass or slow build-up could easily turn into an Atletico counterattack.
What we say
Atletico Madrid to Win
Given Union SG’s recent Champions League struggles including defeats to both Inter and Newcastle and the fact that Atletico’s tactical approach is perfectly designed to exploit their weaknesses, we expect Atletico to come out on top in this matchup.
