Matchday 4 of the 2025/26 Champions League group stage between Atletico Madrid (Spain) and Union (Belgium) will take place on November 4 at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Atletico Madrid vs. Union: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Atletico Madrid
After the first three rounds of the Champions League, the team has only one victory and three points out of a possible nine. Notably, their only successful match was at home: after a disappointing loss in their opening game against Liverpool, Atletico bounced back with a dominant win over Eintracht. Diego Simeone's side then suffered another defeat, this time away to Arsenal. In their last match in London, the Spaniards ended a 10-match scoring streak in the Champions League. Atletico has yet to keep a clean sheet in this season's competition and currently sits 19th in the standings.
- The Spaniards have conceded in 7 of their last 8 Champions League games.
- The club's uncompromising streak in this tournament spans 20 matches (13 wins, 7 losses).
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Atletico's last 8 Champions League matches.
Predicted lineup for Atletico Madrid (4-4-2)
Jan Oblak – Marcos Llorente, Robin Le Normand, Jose Maria Gimenez, David Ganzko – Koke, Alex Baena, Conor Gallagher, Giuliano Simeone – Antoine Griezmann, Julian Alvarez.
Main midfielder Pablo Barrios is injured.
Union
The debutant of the main Champions League tournament started with a surprising away victory over PSV, but the following two matches were outright unsuccessful – Union lost consecutively at home to Newcastle and Inter, both by a score of 0-4. Thus, the team has the same three points as Atletico, but due to a worse goal difference, the Belgians occupy the 24th position in the overall table. The club has failed to keep a clean sheet in six consecutive Champions League matches. This season, Union has already conceded nine goals, with only three teams having a worse record.
- At least one team failed to score in 5 of Union's last 7 Champions League matches.
- The Belgians' uncompromising streak in this European competition counts 7 games (2 wins, 5 losses).
- The club has not scored more than one goal in 5 of their last 6 Champions League matches.
Predicted lineup for Union (3-4-3)
Kjell Scherpen – Fedde Leysen, Kevin Mac Allister, Christian Burgess – Anan Khalili, Adem Zorgane, Mathias Rasmussen, Ousseynou Niang – Anouar Ait El Hadj, Kamil van de Perre, David Promis.
Atletico Madrid vs. Union: Match Prediction
Both clubs have not had the best results in the Champions League, but their matches have been filled with goals. In all three of Atletico's games in the current tournament season, at least four goals have been scored. This is not a new trend, as at least three goals have been seen in 15 of the last 16 meetings involving the Spaniards in the Champions League. When it comes to home games, 7 of the last 8 matches for the club in this competition have been high-scoring. It's also worth noting that Diego Simeone's side has won in regular time in 10 of their last 11 home matches in the Champions League.
In matches involving Union in the current Champions League season, at least four goals have also been scored. This high scoring is largely due to the team's frequent defensive mistakes, as the Belgians have only scored three times while conceding nine goals. In general, fewer than three goals have been scored in only one of Union's last six Champions League matches, with five of these six games ending in defeat for the club.
Prediction – Home win and total over 2.5 goals
