After a goal-less draw at Philips Stadion two weeks ago, Atletico Madrid and PSV Eindhoven pick up the pieces of their Round of 16 clash in the UEFA Champions League. Los Colchoneros seem to have the upper hand in this matchup, considering their home-field advantage and their iron-tight defense, but they must be wary of what The Farmers can do to eliminate them, as a goal for Philip Cocu's men could complicate things quite seriously for Simeone's crew.
Atletico Madrid has played three home games in the ongoing UEFA Champions League season, winning two of those and losing their first clash against Benfica. On the other hand, PSV Eindhoven hasn't been able to win a single away match in the European competition, losing twice and adding a goal-less draw against Manchester United.
Atletico Madrid
Los Colchoneros are currently enjoying a eight-game streak without a loss in all competitions, conceding only two goals in those games. For Tuesday's match, Diego Simeone will have his top guns available, with the exceptions of Stevan Savid and Tiago, who had been ruled out for the rest of the season prior to the first leg of this series.
French striker Antoine Griezmann will be key for the team's performance, as he has recovered his goal scoring form when the club needed him the most. Atletico's top scorer has scored in each of the team's last four games, including the game winner against Real Madrid in the Spanish capital's derby three weeks ago.
PSV Eindhoven
After dropping two points last weekend against Heerenveen, The Farmers will try to earn their first-ever win against Atletico after three games. Coach Philip Cocu will have to make due without Gaston Pereiro, who was sent off during the first leg of the series. The good news for the Dutch champions will be the comeback of Luuk De Jong, who missed the game at Philips Stadion and is expected to become one of the keys to a possible shock.
Cocu's men have managed to put together a seven-game streak without a loss in all competitions, basing their performances on their solid defensive skills. PSV Eindhoven has kept a clean seet in six of those games, hinting that a tactical match might take place at Vicente Calderón Stadium.
Head to head
These teams have played three games between them, with Atletico Madrid winning two of them. PSV's previous visit to Los Colchoneros' ground goes back to November 26, 2008, and Atletico emerged victorious with a 2-1 score.
