Atletico Madrid
Form & Tactical Outlook:
After winning just two of their opening five matches across all competitions (D1 L2), Atletico Madrid have rebounded with a 10-match unbeaten run featuring nine wins and six clean sheets, culminating in a 2-0 home victory over Levante in La Liga on Saturday. Diego Simeone's men sit second in the Spanish top flight with 28 points from 11 matches, two points adrift of leaders Barcelona. In the Champions League league-phase table, the Rojiblancos are 16th with four points from three matches (L 2-1 against Liverpool on September 9, W 2-0 against Manchester United on October 13, and D 1-1 with Stuttgart on October 20). At the Wanda Metropolitano this season, Atletico are unbeaten in six matches (W5 D1), having scored 13 goals while conceding only three.
Team News:
Johnny Cardoso and Koke are fitness concerns; although both have returned to training, Simeone may opt against taking risks with either player. Pablo Barrios and Morten Hjulmand are almost certain to start in central midfield, while Julian Alvarez and Kang-In Lee are expected to form the forward partnership.
Bayern Munich
Form & Tactical Outlook:
Bayern Munich travel to Spain following a 2-2 Bundesliga draw against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, a result that keeps them top of the domestic table on goal difference with 18 points. In European competition, the Bavarians sit 14th in the league phase with five points, having registered successive draws against Viking FK (3-3 on October 13) and Arsenal (2-2 at home on October 21). Away from home, Bayern have drawn three of their last five fixtures, conceding seven goals while scoring 10. The two sides have not met since a 1-1 draw in December 2020, which followed 4-0 and 1-0 victories for Bayern in their prior two meetings. Head coach Vincent Kompany is unlikely to be on the touchline on Tuesday as he continues to recover from collapsing during a late-October training session.
Team News:
Winger Luis Diaz is ruled out with a hamstring injury, while Michael Olise is doubtful after hurting his knee against Dortmund. Serge Gnabry and Ismael Saibari also sustained injuries against BVB, meaning Alphonso Davies and Lennart Karl may be deployed on the flanks. With goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig both carrying injury doubts, Sven Ulreich could be left as the only available option to start in goal.
