The first team to stamp their ticket to the Round of 16 in this season’s Champions League will be confirmed when Atletico Madrid host Club Brugge in their Knockout Playoff second-leg on Tuesday evening. The winner of this tie between Los Colchoneros and Blauw-Zwart will meet either Spurs or Liverpool in the last 16. Check out our match prediction below!
It’s all square after these two teams played to a thrilling 3-3 draw at the Jan Breydel Stadion last week. Atleti enter this clash as the favourites, having not lost a single one of their last 19 knockout home games in the UCL. They’ve only been defeated in one of their last six UCL matches (home and away), but are winless in their last three (D2 L1).
This marks FCB’s second consecutive appearance in the knockouts of Europe’s top-tier competition. However, the Belgian outfit has struggled to beat Spanish opposition on the road, winning only one of their last 15 away games against such opponents (D6 L8). Let’s take a look at some more key stats!

Atletico Madrid - Club Brugge: Form Analysis
Atletico Madrid lost their final group-stage match 2-1 to Bodo/Glimt and ended the League Phase in this season’s Champions League in 14th place with 13 points from their eight matches (W4 D1 L3).
Los Rojiblancos have been inconsistent of late. They followed up last week’s 3-3 draw against this opponent with a 4-2 victory over Espanyol, but that was just their fourth win in 10 matches across all competitions (D3 L4).
The hosts have won three and lost one of their home UCL games this season, but have only tasted defeat in three of 19 matches at the Metropolitano across all competitions this season (W15 D1).
Ten of Atleti’s last 13 home games across all competitions have ended with over 2.5 goals!
Meanwhile, Club Brugge eked into the Champions League knockouts in 24th place with 11 points last season, but this term, 10 points proved enough to secure them 19th place in the League Phase.
The Blue and Blacks defeated Leuven 2-1 in the Belgian Pro League over the weekend and are now unbeaten in their last four games in all competitions. They also scored two or more goals in each match during this period.
However, FCB have been unimpressive on the road in Europe this term, having lost three of their four League Phase outings, with their only victory coming against minnows Kairat Almaty last month.

Atletico Madrid & Club Brugge Squad Analysis
Ademola Lookman has made an excellent start to life in Madrid and marked his European debut for Diego Simeone’s side with a goal in the first leg. In doing so, he became just the fifth player to score for two teams in the same UCL season.
Julian Alvarez opened the scoring in Brugge last week, taking his tally to five goals and two assists in this competition. He has now netted 20 goals in his last 35 Champions League appearances.
The hosts came away from their league fixture against Espanyol with no new injury concerns, meaning their only absentees for this match are Nico Gonzalez, Pablo Barrios and Ilias Kostis.
Nicolo Tresoldi has scored in each of his last four matches across all competitions!
The German under-21 international picked up an assist for Club Brugge's first goal in the first leg before scoring their second of the match, and he will almost certainly lead the line this week.
Nigerian midfielder Raphael Onyedika was the standout performer for FCB last week, but he picked up his third yellow card of the campaign and will be forced to sit this one out through suspension.
The visitors are only expected to be missing two players due to injury in Lynnt Audoor and backup shot-stopper Dani van den Heuvel.

Our Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge Prediction
While Atletico Madrid have built a reputation of being a difficult team to break down defensively over the years, that has not been the case in this competition, as they have yet to keep a clean sheet after nine games.
Club Brugge have plenty of firepower in attack as we saw in the first leg, but they are also susceptible to conceding, having already shipped 20 goals in the Champions League this season. All indicators suggest that we should see a few strike the back of the net in this one. Our Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge prediction is BTTS.
