"Mikel Arteta's side opened their account with a comfortable 2-0 home victory over Athletic Bilbao before repeating the same scoreline away to Olympiacos, making them one of only two teams yet to concede in this season's competition. They followed up those European results with a narrow 1-0 win against Fulham in the Premier League at the weekend, extending their unbeaten run across all competitions to six matches and continuing their impressive defensive form."
"Atletico, meanwhile, arrive in the capital full of confidence after thrashing Eintracht Frankfurt 5-1 on matchday two, with goals from Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez and Thiago Almada helping them recover from an opening defeat to Liverpool at Anfield. That result lifted the Spanish side into the top 10 of the league phase standings and extended their strong recent form under Simeone, who has guided his team to four wins in their last five matches across all competitions."
