- Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
- Venue: Estadio Santiago Bernabeu
Reigning Champions League winners Real Madrid welcome bitter city rivals Atletico Madrid to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday evening for the first leg of the round of 16.
The hosts reached the last 16 after beating Manchester City in two games, while Atletico avoided the last eight by finishing in the top eight in the group stage.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side suffered a shocking 2-1 defeat to Real Betis at the weekend and will be very frustrated when they step on to the pitch at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night. Atletico, on the other hand, claimed a narrow 1-0 win over Athletic Club to extend their unbeaten run to ten games.
Real Madrid - Atletico Madrid Betting Tips: Both Teams to Score
The Madrid derbies between Real and Atletico are always entertaining because the two teams do not give each other much. Atletico are expected to be defensive-minded, especially at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, but recent history shows that Diego Simeone’s side are very capable of scoring against Real Madrid. Diego Simeone's side have scored at least one goal in nine consecutive games against their city rivals, as have Real Madrid, and are now unbeaten in eight consecutive matches against Carlo Ancelotti’s side. We expect both teams to score on Tuesday.
