This first-leg clash takes place at the Metropolitano in Madrid. Diego Simeone’s Atletico are a formidable force at home in Europe, recently thrashing Barcelona 4-0 and Club Brugge 4-1, though their domestic form has been slightly inconsistent.
Tottenham, on the other hand, are in a crisis, suffering five consecutive Premier League defeats and sitting perilously close to the relegation zone with multiple injuries. With Tottenham’s defensive struggles and low confidence, an Atletico Madrid home win (1) is the most logical outcome.
