Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow Preview
Atletico Madrid are favourites to win this competition but first have to get past a potentially tricky fixture against Lokomotiv Moscow. Before Sunday afternoon, Atletico had won eight consecutive games which saw them progress into this round of the Europa League and widen the gap between themselves and third-placed Real Madrid in La Liga. However, heads were down on Sunday as a single Lionel Messi goal secured a vital win for Barcelona at the Nou Camp which extended their lead at the top of the table to 8 points. A win for Atletico would have put them within 2 points of the league-leaders but it wasn’t meant to be. Diego Simeone’s side will still qualify for the Champions League next season but will be disappointed the title is Barcelona’s for the taking. After being knocked out of the Copa del Rey by Sevilla, Simeone will be eager to win this competition to collect some silverware this season and will fancy his teams’ chances given their current form.
Stefan Savic is Atletico’s only injury concern for Thursday and Simeone should have a near-full-strength squad to choose from. We could see Ángel Correa get a place in the starting XI ahead of Gabi with Saúl Ñíguez moving into central midfield, making way for him on the right-wing.
Lokomotiv Moscow are also flying high in the league and top the Russian Premier League with 46 points. They progressed to this round of the Europa League with two impressive victories over French side, Nice. They overcame being two goals down in the first leg to put three past Walter Daniel Benítez before sealing their place in the last 16 with a 1-0 victory on home soil.
The visitors have an impressive record in the Europa League, losing just one of their last nine on the road in this competition. They’ve also won their last consecutive away games across all competitions and have not had trouble finding the net more than once in a game. However, Atletico will prove much tougher to break down and hold off, especially at Wanda Metropolitano. Diego Simeone’s side have won their last five consecutive games at home, scoring 11 goals in those games and not conceding once.
Jefferson Farfán will miss Thursday’s match due to injury while Ari will likely replace Éder up front.

Atletico Madrid vs Lokomotiv Moscow Prediction
Both sides are in good form but it’s hard to see Lokomotiv taking anything away from this game. Atletico have been solid at home this season where they have conceded just 4 goals in 13 games. They have the best defensive record in La Liga and the visitors will have to produce something special if they are going to find a way past their back four. Atletico should be able to contain their guests and with the likes of Kevin Gameiro and Antoine Griezmann leading the line, they shouldn’t have any trouble finding the net. Atletico to win to nil seems a likely result.
