Honours Even in the Spanish Capital?

Atletico Madrid look like a good bet to reach the knockout phase after four wins from six. The Spanish giants are 11th in the table, winning four and losing two. Diego Simeone’s men have beaten RB Leipzig, Paris Saint-Germain, Sparta Prague, and Slovan Bratislava.

Leverkusen are riding high in fourth spot after winning four, drawing one, and losing one of their six Champions League fixtures. Since the 4-0 loss at Liverpool, the German side have bounced back with victories over Red Bull Salzburg and Inter Milan.

Atleti’s winning run ended at the weekend, as the Madrid giants suffered a disappointing 1-0 loss at Leganes. They previously won 15 league and cup matches on the trot.  

Leverkusen warmed up for this huge European tie by beating Borussia Monchengladbach 3-1 in the Bundesliga. Xabi Alonso’s troops have won 11 in a row in all competitions.
