Having been knocked out from the Copa del Rey and lagging behind in the race for the league title, as they are currently fourth - the Champions League is their only realistic chance of a trophy this season.

Atletico claimed a 4-2 win in their first-leg match away at Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16 of the competition, putting them in a great position ahead of Wednesday's home leg tie.

Bayer Leverkusen got knocked out in the 2014/2015 edition of the Champions League at this same stage by Atletico.

Los Rojiblancos are massive favorites against Leverkusen who are currently 10th in the Bundesliga, with SportyBet offering Atletico odds of (1.64) for the win while Leverkusen can be backed at (5.25) and the draw is offered at (4.03).

The team from the Spanish capital have not conceded in 16 of their last 18 home European games and backing Atletico to keep a clean sheet at the Vicente Calderon comes at (2.29) with SportyBet.

Leverkusen travel to Spain under a new manager as Tayfun Korkut replaced the fired Roger Schmidt after the first-leg defeat by Atletico was followed up by a 6-2 thrashing at Borussia Dortmund.

The Bundesliga team are yet to win a match in the last 16 tie of the UEFA Champions League and have lost hugely in previous meetings. Korkut's team are also without a win in their last four matches, which includes their home draw with Werder Bremen at the weekend.

Four of the five previous meetings of these teams have contained under 2.5 goals. Backing this match to have under 2.5 goals is available at (1.76) with SportyBet.

Both teams to score comes at (1.74). Antoine Griezmann is the man in form for Atletico, having been directly involved in nine of Atlético's last ten home Champions League goals.

You can back the French forward to find the net at (2.05). The visitors will hope their main player Javier Hernandez will rediscover his goal scoring form as he went goalless over the last four matches, after scoring five in just three appearances before the Champions League first leg against Los Rojiblancos.

Chicharito is tipped by SportyBet to score anytime at (3.30)
