Atletico Madrid vs Roma: Predictions

The current situation demands Atletico to take the attacking initiative as they must win here to improve their chances of qualifying for the knockout stages. The main worry for Simeone will be the misfiring attacking unit, which did no justice to the industrious midfield and defense.

Roma had already proved that they are a much improved side than in past seasons and they do not come to away nights to just sit back and defend. Chelsea got the taste of this a month ago and Atletico will be the next in line.
