Match Preview
Atletico Madrid has easily advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, and with their leadership in La Liga, it’s clear that they are having a great season. While there are some challenges, overall, the "Rojiblancos" look very confident in the long run.
In the Champions League, the Spanish side is in a tight group, battling for a top-8 spot. Losing points here is undesirable for Simeone's men, as there are plenty of contenders for a place in the Round of 16.
Bayer Leverkusen continues to rack up victories, but they have struggled against Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga under Vincent Kompany. Interestingly, in the DFB-Pokal, they managed to eliminate their main rivals.
In European competitions, "Die Werkself" has only lost to Liverpool, conceding just one goal in the other five matches. With 13 points, they sit in fourth place in the overall standings, giving them a good chance of success.
