Latest match preview for Kitchee vs Atletico Madrid
Although Kitchee isn't as globally renowned as Atletico Madrid, the Hong Kong club has achieved notable successes, including becoming the first team from Hong Kong to win a match in the AFC Champions League and reaching the last 16 of the tournament. Kitchee has also won six Hong Kong Premier League titles and six Hong Kong First Division titles, with the most recent coming in the 2022-23 season.
However, the 2023-24 season was not favorable for Kitchee, as they finished only fourth in the Hong Kong Premier League, one point short of an AFC Champions League spot, and were eliminated in the AFC Champions League group stage. The match against Atletico Madrid will be a major challenge for Kitchee, as they will be moving from the Mong Kok Stadium with over 6,000 spectators to the Hong Kong Stadium with a capacity of over 40,000.
Atletico Madrid, after a disappointing season and finishing outside the top three in La Liga, are undergoing a turbulent summer with numerous changes. They lost Alvaro Morata, who scored 28 goals in the last two La Liga seasons, and have signed Robin Le Normand and Alexander Sorloth as replacements. The Spanish side have had two successful friendly matches, including a penalty shootout victory against Numancia and a 3-1 win against Getafe.
Based on their experience and superior attacking quality, Atletico Madrid are predicted to easily win against Kitchee on Wednesday evening, especially since Kitchee have not yet started their pre-season friendlies.
