Bet on Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid’s second leg round of 16 Champions League clash at Housebets.com.
The Champions League is back again this week with the second leg of the round of 16 games taking centre stage. The first leg delivered some surprising results and some expected outcomes.
Teams like Bayern Munich, Arsenal and Inter Milan already have one leg in the quarter-final after securing comfortable leads in the first leg.
However, other ties are still delicately poised, including the Madrid derby which is our focus match for this piece.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid preview
There will be blood when Atletico Madrid host Real Madrid in the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 encounter at Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night.
There is no love lost between the two sides and Wednesday’s match will not be different. Real Madrid come into the game looking to end what they started last week.
Carlo Ancelotti’s men currently hold the advantage after they won the first leg 2-1 at the Santiago Bernabeu last week. Los Blancos will feel confident in their chances of getting the job done at the home of their rivals.
Although Real Madrid have been hot and cold this season, they are still competing on all fronts this season. Los Blancos come into this game on the back of a 2-1 win over Rayo Vallecano in LaLiga, which was not too much of a convincing win.
They cannot afford a repeat of such performance on Wednesday night if they are to progress to the quarterfinals. The good news for Real is that this fixture in the Champions League has always gone in their favour.
However, the bad news for Ancelotti’s men is that they have won just three of their last 17 matches at Atletico’s home ground.
Despite Madrid’s track record in the competition, Atletico will feel confident in their chances of turning the tie around. Wanda Metropolitano is a fortress as the Rojiblancos are yet to lose a Champions League game at home in the knockout stages in 28 years. Diego Simeone’s men are currently on an 18-game unbeaten streak in home knockout matches.
Meanwhile, in cup competitions, Atletico have not lost to Real in their last five matches and have also qualified from the Champions League knockout rounds three times after losing the first leg.
However, while history suggests that they have what it takes to get it done, Atletico come into this game on the back of a 2-1 loss to Getafe over the weekend.
The loss was damaging to their title hopes as they remain one point behind Real Madrid and Barcelona, having played one game more than the Catalan giants.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid team news

However, their four biggest stars, Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappé, Vinicius Jnr and Rodrygo are all available.
