Atletico Madrid and Frankfurt Current Form and Standings

Atletico Madrid haven’t had the best start to the season considering their high standards, but they have recently been on fire. The Spaniards took four games to get their first win this term, after they lost their first game of the season against Espanyol and drew the next two against Elche and Deportivo Alaves. However, they have since won three and drawn one in the league, including a 5-2 thumping of their arch-rivals Real Madrid. This now sticks Atleti fifth in LaLiga, with 12 points under their belt - seven points off top spot. Although, Simeone’s men did unfortunately open this season’s Champions League account with a 3-2 defeat to Liverpool.

Frankfurt have started things very well in the Bundesliga. They have played five games so far, won three of them and lost the other two. The Eagles have beaten Monchengladbach, Hoffenheim and Werder Bremen, but lost to both Union Berlin and Leverkusen. This puts the Germans on nine points, occupying fourth in the league and in a Champions League spot. Speaking of that competition, Frankfurt won their first game in the Champions League too, in a 5-1 victory against Galatasaray.
