MATCH PREVIEW:
Wolfsburg come into this clash on the back of a 2-1 loss against Monaco last Saturday.
This was their 4th successive loss in pre-season and remain poor in performances ahead of the new season.
This is the German side’s last chance to gain a win and credible performance before the season begins as they remain toothless and will be extremely down on confidence.
They began with a loss to Hansa Rostock followed by defeats to Holstein Kiel, Lyon and Monaco.
Van Bommel needs his side to get into shape, lift their spirits otherwise it could once again be another bad season.
On the other hand, Atletico Madrid lost their last match against Salzburg with Adeyemi’s first half goal securing the win.
Prior to this, Atletico drew 1-1 against Numancia and hence head into this fixture desperate for a win.
Both sides last met in a club friendly match in 2014 where Atletico Madrid thumped the German side 5-1 with Garcia’s brace leading the way.
Line-ups
Wolfsburg:
Casteels, Silva, Lacroix, Brooks, Mbabu, Guilavogui, Schlager, Victor, Nmecha, Ginczek and Weghorst
Atletico Madrid:
Oblak, Hermoso, Savic, Moya, Vrsaljko, Lemar, Valera, Mollejo, Camello and Simeone.
Prediction: Wolfsburg 0-2 Atletico Madrid
The German side has been short on confidence and form. As a result, they head into this one with no scope for a win.
Even though Atletico has been winless in last 2 matches, they look the better side on paper and have the experience, quality to come out trumps in this clash.
