Atletico Madrid resume their UEFA Champions League campaign this week with a Group A fixture against Russian outfit Lokomotiv Moscow at the Lokomotiv Stadium. Both sides have endured mixed starts to this season's Champions League and have a point to prove in this game.Lokomotiv Moscow are currently in sixth place in the Russian Premier League standings and are yet to win a game in this edition of the UEFA Champions League. The Moscow-based outfit impressed in a 2-1 defeat against reigning European champions Bayern Munich last week, however, and will want to take something away from this game.Atletico Madrid recovered from their astonishing 4-0 loss against Bayern Munich last month with a crucial 3-2 victory against Austrian side RB Salzburg. Diego Simeone's men have flattered to deceive over the past few months and cannot afford to drop points in this game.🎯 @LuisSuarez9 🔥🔴⚪ #AúpaAtleti pic.twitter.com/oYD2cl2Q5K— Atlético de Madrid (@atletienglish) November 1, 2020Lokomotiv Moscow vs Atletico Madrid Head-to-HeadLokomotiv Moscow and Atletico Madrid have faced each other on a total of six occasions in the past.
