Our Atletico Madrid vs Bayern prediction is a home win in a game with goals at both ends. Diego Simeone’s side are in strong form and have a fine home record against the Germans, while Bayern travel without several attacking stars. The Champions League league phase match at the Metropolitano kicks off at 11:00pm EAT on Tuesday 3 November.
This is a heavyweight clash with history behind it. The two clubs first met in the 1974 European Cup final, and more than five decades on, both need points to climb the 36-team league phase table.

Atletico Madrid Form and Team News
Atletico have one win, one draw and one defeat from their first three league phase games, giving them four points. Their last European outing was a 1-1 draw with Stuttgart. Domestically they are flying: a 2-0 win at Levante on Saturday kept them second in La Liga, just two points behind leaders Barcelona.
Simeone has a couple of fitness questions in midfield. Koke and Johnny Cardoso are both back in training but remain doubts, so the coach may wait until the last minute before deciding whether to involve them. Julian Alvarez leads the line and will be the main threat.
Bayern Munich Form and Team News
Bayern are unbeaten in the league phase but have been held in their last two European games, drawing 3-3 with Viking and 2-2 with Arsenal. They followed that with another 2-2 draw against Borussia Dortmund in Der Klassiker on Saturday, when Harry Kane missed a penalty.
The injury list is the big story. Luis Diaz, Jamal Musiala, Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari are all reported to be out, while Michael Olise is a doubt with a knee problem picked up against Dortmund. Manuel Neuer is also a fitness doubt in goal.
There is uncertainty in the dugout too. Kompany has been recovering from illness, and reports in Germany suggest he may not be on the touchline on Tuesday.
Kane chasing Ronaldo’s record
Despite that missed penalty, Kane remains the man to watch. He has scored in each of his last ten Champions League appearances, and another goal would equal Cristiano Ronaldo’s competition record of 11 successive scoring games, according to official UEFA data.
Head to Head and Key Stats
- The sides first met in the 1974 European Cup final, which Bayern won 4-0 in a replay after a 1-1 draw.
- Atletico are unbeaten in three home games against Bayern, winning two and drawing one.
- Kane has scored in ten straight Champions League appearances.
- Neuer needs one more appearance to become the German player with the most Champions League games.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Prediction
This is a tough one to call, but the conditions favour Atletico. They are winning regularly, they have a strong record at home against Bayern, and the Metropolitano is one of the hardest away trips in Europe on a big night.
Bayern still have Kane, and that alone means they will create chances. But without Diaz, Musiala, Gnabry and Saibari, their attack loses much of its width and creativity, and recent results show they are conceding too often. Atletico’s set pieces and counter-attacks could make the difference.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Bayern Munich.
Best tips:
- Atletico Madrid to win
