Kitchee vs Atletico Madrid Prediction and Betting Tips | August 7th 2024

Atletico Madrid travel to the Hong Kong Stadium to take on Kitchee in a friendly on Wednesday. Both sides head into the midweek clash off the back of contrasting results, with the La Liga giants claiming a comfortable pre-season victory over Getafe.

Kitchee, meanwhile, suffered a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Thailand outfit Pathum United in their opening pre-season game a fortnight ago.

After falling behind to Sherzod Temirov’s 37th-minute opener, 36-year-old forward Teerasil Dangda took matters into his own hands as he scored a hat-trick to help Pathum turn the game on its head.

Kitchee have come into pre-season off the back of a decent 2023-24 campaign as they secured a fourth-placed finish in the Hong Kong Premier League.

Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, turned in a solid team display as they picked up a 3-1 victory over Getafe at the Coliseum Stadium on Saturday.

Before that, Diego Simeone’s men kicked off their pre-season campaign with a somewhat disappointing penalty-shootout victory over Segunda Federación side Numancia on July 27.

Atletico Madrid take on Juventus in their final warm-up game on August 11, one week before visiting the Estadio de la Ceramica to face Villareal in their 2024-25 La Liga curtain-raiser.
