Tuesday 30th September 2025, 2000hrs (GMT)
Atletico Madrid not only extended their unbeaten run in La Liga to three games over the weekend with a 5-2 thumping of Real Madrid in the Madrid derby but also posted back-to-back wins in the Spanish domestic top flight as well.
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone will be hoping a previous 3-2 home win in La Liga against Rayo Vallecano will set his side up for success on matchday 2 of this season’s Champions League campaign, especially after being dealt a 3-2 loss away from home at Liverpool in their opening game of this competition.
However, the hosts have registered just three wins within their opening eight competitive matches so far this season and only two of these last eight games have seen the Spanish hosts win by a margin of 2 goals or more.
Eintracht Frankfurt will also be heading into this upcoming encounter at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in confident mood as the German visitors registered a 6-4 win away from home at Borussia M’gladbach on the weekend while the bigger picture has produced some encouraging results as well.
Indeed, Dino Toppmoller’s side have collected five wins within their opening seven competitive games which includes a 5-1 thrashing of Turkish Super Lig outfit Galatasaray on matchday 1 of this season’s Champions League.
In addition, Eintracht Frankfurt have won three of their last four outings on the road in all competitions which suggests the visitors stand a decent chance of at least holding their own at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Tuesday night.
The Betting Verdict
Eintracht Frankfurt have made themselves a tough side to beat under manager Dino Toppmoller and the visitors are expected to frustrate their Spanish hosts in this one.
The Pick :
Atletico Madrid 2-1 Eintracht Frankfurt
