Atletico Madrid will hope to start their Champions League campaign on a winning note when they host Porto at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday. The Rojiblancos head into this fixture at the back of a 1-1 draw with Real Sociedad in La Liga on Saturday.
They are yet to find their rhythm, picking up just seven points from their first four matches. However, Porto are a familiar rival, as they faced each other at the same stage of the competition last season, with Atleti winning 3-1 in Portugal after a goalless stalemate at home.
Porto will, nevertheless, be full of confidence before taking on the Spanish giants as they have been in good form in the Primeira Liga. They beat Gil Vicente 2-0 comfortably in their previous match to climb to the third position in the league table with 12 points from five matches.
