Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid – Preview and betting tips

One of the most interesting games of the last 16 round in Uefa Champions League is this one between Bayer Leverkusen and Atletico Madrid. The first leg will take place today from 19:45, UK Time.

The german side is starting with second chance at bookmakers and we consider that this is a normal thing. The hosts are not in their best form this year, proof that they managed to win only a game out of five in 2015, 1-0 against Hertha Berlin three weeks ago. Robbie Kruse is injured, while Omer Toprak will miss the game too, considering his suspension. Spahic will probably partner Papadopoulos in the centre of defence.

Atletico Madrid will try to get a good result here to make their mission a little easier in the second leg. Arda Turan and his teammates won three of the last four competitive games, one of them being that victory against Real Madrid, 4-0 at Vicente Calderon. Koke and Tiago are doubts and they could miss the game, but other than that, Simeone has a fully fit squad today in Germany.

Leverkusen vs Atletico Madrid probable lineups:
Leverkusen (4-2-3-1): Leno – Donati, Spahic, Papadopoulos, Wendell – Rolfes, Castro – Bellarabi, Calhanoglu, Son – Drmic.
Atletico Madrid (4-4-2): Moya – Juanfran, Miranda, Godin, Siqueira – Turan, Gabi, Suarez, Niguez – Griezmann, Mandzukic.

Prediction: X2 @ 1.35
We decided to don’t risk very much today and our bet is a double chance one, with Atletico Madrid getting at least a draw against Bayer Leverkusen today, the odds being around 1.35 right now.
