Genk vs Liverpool eufa 24.10.2019

Genk fought out a 0-0 draw against Napoli in the previous round, and will likely be happy to achieve something similar here. A win would be something of a shock, however, as Genk has played 14 matches in the Champions League (CL) group stage without a win - the most of any participating side. Overall though, they have managed to score at least one goal in 30 of their last 32 European matches.

Indeed, they can hardly be called pushovers, as the draw against Napoli in the last round was their fourth straight home draw in the CL group stage. Nine of their 14 competitive matches this season have featured at least three goals, as have six of their seven wins.

Ajax vs Chelsea 24.10.2019

Including qualifiers, Ajax is unbeaten in this season’s UEFA Champions League (UCL) campaign (W4, D2), winning both of their group stage games to date by a 3-0 scoreline. The Dutch champions have done so as part of a riotous sequence, which has seen them win their last six halves of UCL football with a clean sheet.

Across all competitions, Ajax remains unbeaten this season (W13, D4). Three of their last four competitive wins have seen them score exactly twice in one half, with the two goals in question separated by no more than 30 minutes each time.

In terms of Premier League (PL) and UCL form alone, Chelsea has been invincible since their last defeat (P4, W4), with those four games seeing them score exactly once (and score the last goal) beyond the 70th minute. The last three of that quartet also saw Chelsea win the second half 1-0.

Despite their recent surge, a competitive clean sheet on the road remains elusive for Chelsea this season. Impressively though, Frank Lampard’s men have won their last four competitive away games (all producing over 2.5 total goals), with Chelsea scoring once beyond the 75th minute in the last three of those road trips.

Atletico madrid v sbayer leverkusen 23.10.2019

At this moment, Atlético Madrid is unbeaten in their last 11 UEFA-competition games at home (W9, D2), and without defeat in their last six UEFA Champions League (UCL) match when considered a pre-match favorite (W4, D2). Furthermore, they have lost just one La Liga game as a home favorite since the beginning of 2018/19 (W17, D5, L1).

The hosts also possess the psychological advantage of having knocked Bayer Leverkusen out of the UCL in 2016/17, even though Leverkusen secured a 0-0 draw in Madrid. Overall though, Atlético remains unbeaten at home to Bayer Leverkusen this decade (W1, D2).
