Tottenham may have turned a corner on Sunday with a 1-1 draw at Liverpool. Spurs need a lot more than that to reach the Champions League quarter-finals. They host Atletico Madrid after losing the away leg 5-2. Time for our match prediction.

The Lilywhites ended a losing run with Sunday's draw but are still in deep relegation trouble. Earlier in the season, they finished fourth in the league phase of this competition. That doesn't mean a great deal when you go to Madrid and find yourself 4-0 down after 17 minutes. They have it all to do to get back into this tie but how much do they care about this game is a big question.

Atletico Madrid will kick themselves if they fail to reach the quarter-finals. The winners of this tie will take on either Newcastle United or Barcelona in the last eight with the Spaniards 1-1 after the away first leg. It's looking like an all-Spanish tie in the quarter-finals with the Mattress Makers from Madrid being the strong favorites to hold on to their lead.

Tottenham - Atletico Madrid: Form Analysis

The away point at Anfield ended a run of six straight defeats but they are still only 16th in the Premier League. Their last win was in this competition on January 26 when Spurs won 2-1 at Eintracht Frankfurt. Eight games have been played since then.

Spurs must rediscover their good home form.

Home form in this season's UCL has seen them win all four of their matches and without conceding a goal. The Lilywhites are not in that kind of form at present, especially in terms of keeping clean sheets with none in their last eight matches.

Their last six games have all seen both teams score. Only one of their last nine home fixtures has been won and in all but one of those matches, both teams have scored a goal.

Atletico Madrid beat Getafe at home on Saturday and are third in La Liga. That was their fourth straight league victory and six of their last seven matches have been won with the only loss to Barcelona.

In the Champions League this season, the Red-Whites are unbeaten in their last three games. The last two at Galatasaray and Club Brugge ended level. The latter was in the Knockout Play-Off round which they won 7-4 on aggregate. Six of their last seven away games in the Champions League have seen both teams get on the scoresheet.

Tottenham & Atletico Madrid Squad Analysis

What is more important to Tottenham this week? Is it trying to reach the Champions League quarter-finals when three goals down to Atletico Madrid? Or is it saving their best players for the vital home Premier League game against Nottingham Forest at the weekend?

Considering the financial disaster relegation would create, it is clearly the latter and Spurs may well decide to rest some key players for this match rather than risk them getting injured and missing the Forest clash.

No Richarlison for Tottenham on Wednesday.

Spurs already have a lengthy injury list but they will have Micky van de Ven available again. He was serving a suspension at the weekend and didn't play at Anfield. Conor Gallagher was ill at the weekend and it remains to be seen whether he will be playing on Wednesday. Their scorer at the weekend was Richarlison and he is suspended for this second leg. 

Xavi Simons and Randal Kolo Muani could well come into the team. We can be pretty sure it will  be Vicario between the sticks for Spurs, despite not having a great game at Anfield on Sunday.

Atletico also have some goalkeeping problems and Jan Oblak will not be playing on Wednesday. Juan Musso will be their goalkeeper for this match. Also out are Rodrigo Mendoza and there's a doubt over Pablo Barrios.

It's unlikely that Atletico will be making any other changes from the first leg aside from in goal. They rested several of their top players for the weekend win over Getafe and they will be back on Wednesday.

Our Tottenham vs Atletico Madrid Prediction

Tottenham managed to get a point on Sunday and put in a much better performance than in recent disasters. They face an almighty task to get back into this tie and will be without several key players for this match.

Atletico Madrid would really kick themselves if they gave away their three-goal lead. Their away performances in the UCL haven't been great this season and both teams have scored on a regular basis. Our main Tottenham v Atletico Madrid prediction is BTTS.
