Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge: Lookman Leads as Onyedika Misses Out — Who Go Carry Last?

This tie is still open.

The first game ended 3-3, and it showed both teams can score, but both teams also have problems in defence. Now Atletico Madrid are at home, and that is where they are usually strong.

They have lost only one of their last seven home games in the Champions League. They also score regularly at home. But there is a concern. They have conceded in their last nine Champions League matches. That means they are not fully in control at the back.

Club Brugge will believe they have a chance. They scored three goals in the first leg and came from behind twice. That shows they have fight and attacking quality.

But away from home, it has been difficult. They have lost three of their four away games in this competition.

So this game is simple. Atletico have the home advantage, but can they defend well enough? And can Brugge handle the pressure in Madrid?

Atletico Madrid;

Atletico will try to control the game. They will be more direct and look to use their forwards early. At home, they usually play with more confidence. But they must be careful. If they leave space, Brugge can punish them.

Club Brugge;

Club Brugge will not sit back. They showed in the first leg that they can attack and score goals. They will look for quick transitions and try to catch Atletico on the break. But they must defend better. If they allow too many chances, it will be difficult to survive.
