"Remarkably throwing away the lead twice on foreign soil last week as they eventually had to settle for a thrilling 3-3 stalemate in Belgium, the Rojiblancos have a huge amount of pressure on their shoulders here. Despite claiming an immediate domestic response over the weekend as they clinched an action-packed 4-2 victory at home against Espanyol, Atletico know the importance of finding some crucial defensive steel."
"Coming from behind twice last week as they eventually snatched that pulsating 3-3 stalemate at the Jan Breydel Stadium, Club Brugge should find the mood in their camp at a red-hot high. Despite facing what should be a monumental challenge when they travel to the Spanish capital on Tuesday night, Ivan Leko's men have already proven that they are capable of asking some serious questions."
The Champions League returns with four heavyweight midweek matchups, offering betting opportunities. Bodo/Glimt travel to the San Siro aiming for an upset against AC Milan. Atletico Madrid face Club Brugge in a tie that highlights Atletico's defensive fragility after conceding eight goals in their last three matches and recording one clean sheet in four home games. Atletico drew 3-3 away before responding with a 4-2 domestic win over Espanyol. Club Brugge enter the fixture buoyed by a 3-3 comeback and a 2-1 league victory over Leuven, suffering one defeat in recent matches. Match momentum and defensive form are key betting factors.
