Atletico Madrid will face Bodo/Glimt in Madrid on Wednesday night in their last match of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League group stage.
The team is currently 12th in the standings, tied on points with six teams above them, and they need to win to secure a place in the knockout rounds, avoiding the play-offs.
Diego Simeone’s squad has won three of their last four matches in the league phase, bouncing back after a tough start to their European campaign.
They faced early losses against Arsenal and Liverpool in September but have recovered well since. A strong 3-0 victory over Mallorca on Sunday boosted their confidence ahead of this crucial match.
Atletico has performed well at home, winning 12 of their last 13 Champions League games there, losing just once in their last 18 European home matches.
Atletico Madrid team news
Antoine Griezmann will miss this match due to a muscle strain in his left thigh, confirmed by an MRI scan. The club has not announced a return date for him yet.
His absence is a setback for the team, but Julian Alvarez remains an option, as the coach continues to support him despite a lack of goals recently in domestic league matches.
Overall, Atletico has a healthy squad, with Alexander Sørloth and Koke likely to start. Sørloth has scored four goals in his last six appearances and has expressed his happiness at the club, despite speculation linking him to Juventus.
Pablo Barrios is expected to take on more responsibility in midfield after Conor Gallagher’s transfer to Tottenham for €40 million.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup
Possible Atletico Madrid starting XI: Oblak; Llorente, Pubill, Hancko, Ruggeri; Simeone, Barrios, Koke, Almada; Alvarez, Sorloth.
When will the match kick off?
The match is set to begin at 8pm BST on Wednesday, 28th January.
