Blauw-Zwart are third in the Belgian Pro League table at the moment with 50 points from 25 matches, just three points behind leaders Union Saint-Gilloise."

It came after a 3-0 victory over Standard Liege in front of their fans in the league, which followed a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Union St.-Gilloise on the road in the Belgian Pro League."
"Atletico Madrid are one of the biggest clubs in Spain that regularly challenge for the La Liga title and compete in Europe's major club competitions, such as the UEFA Champions League. Rojiblancos finished fourth in the league table last season and will be keen on bettering that position this time around. Diego Simeone's side are fourth in the La Liga table at the moment with 45 points from 24 matches, 15 points behind leaders and city-rivals Real Madrid."
