Atletico Madrid will be looking to take top spot on the Group D standings when they host German powerhouse Bayern Munich. Join The Roar from 4:45am (AEST) for live scores.
Currently sitting third on the La Liga table unbeaten after six games, Atletico Madrid have solidified themselves as the top Spanish contenders along with Real Madrid and Barcelona.
After making the Champions League final last season, Madrid will be looking to go one better take out the elusive title.
Atletico are coming off a 1-0 win over Deportivo La Coruna, a match which saw Antoine Griezmann net home the winner in the 70th minute.
All eyes will be on Griezmann, as the French striker looks to give his fans something to cheer about against one of the best footballing sides in the world.
Bayern Munich are on fire. They have five wins from five in the Bundesliga, and look as though they may win another German title early in the season.
Bayern have only conceded twice in their past five games and are currently averaging almost three goals a game.
Now, Bayern will be looking for revenge, as they face the side that knocked them out of the Champions League semi-finals last season.
Atletico beat Munich 1-0 in the first leg of the semi-final, and Bayern won the second 2-1 at home. However, Atletico Madrid took the final spot against rivals Real Madrid due to the away goals rule.
Prediction
Both Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich are on attacking form, but both are incredible defensive sides. This one should be close, but it’s hard to pick an outright winner.
Atletico Madrid 1 – 1 Bayern Munich
