Atletico Madrid and Bayern Munich will face each other on November 3 as part of Round 4 of the league phase of the Champions League. UEFA has published several interesting statistics ahead of this clash, with the form of Harry Kane standing out in particular, as he is very close to equalling a record held by Cristiano Ronaldo.
According to statistics published by UEFA, Atletico Madrid have an impressive home record against German sides. Madrid have not lost any of their last 16 home matches against Bundesliga teams, winning 12 and drawing four. They have also won their last four meetings of this kind.
The head-to-head history in Madrid also gives the Spanish side confidence. Atletico have not lost any of their last three home matches against Bayern Munich, with two wins and one draw.
However, the Bavarians have their own positive statistics, as they have not lost any of their last three direct meetings against Atletico Madrid, taking two wins and one draw.
UEFA also highlights the home form of Madrid in the Champions League. Atletico have won 10 of their last 12 matches in the group stage or the knockout phase, while they have scored in their last 20 home matches in this competition.
Bayern Munich, on the other hand, have suffered just one defeat in their last 12 Champions League matches, recording eight wins and three draws. The Germans have scored in their last 24 matches in this tournament, while both teams have scored in their last nine away matches.
The main focus, however, is on Harry Kane. The English striker has scored in 10 consecutive Champions League matches and is now just one match away from equalling Cristiano Ronaldo’s record for the most consecutive matches with a goal in this competition.
