Atletico Madrid will be hoping to pick up their second successive victory when they take on Bayer Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League at the BayArena on Tuesday. Diego Simeone's side head into this fixture on the back of a resounding 4-1 win over Celta Vigo in La Liga which should further boost their morale.
Meanwhile, Leverkusen are struggling to find their rhythm this season as they have won just once in six matches in Bundesliga and are reeling at the 17th spot, in the relegation zone.
Their Champions League opener against Club Brugge also ended in disappointment as they were edged out 1-0 in Brussels. However, the German outfit would like to stage a fight back against the Rojiblancos with the help of home support.
