Enjoying a wonderful domestic campaign, Atletico Madrid are currently leading the way in the Spanish La Liga, three points clear at the summit, and with a game in hand. But for now, their whole attention will be on this upcoming European clash.

Meanwhile, Chelsea are enduring a dismal Premier League campaign, where they sit outside of the top-four, and are even already ruled out of title contention. With no hopes of league success this season, the Blues will be hopeful of enjoying a good run in the Champions League.

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Predictions

Very well on-course to lifting the La Liga title for the first time since the 2013/2014 campaign – where they just about pipped Barcelona to glory – Atletico Madrid are in imperious form this term. Currently topping the pile, this side have a whopping 55 points in their name.

Handed only their second defeat of the season last time out, Atletico Madrid were sent sinking by a rampant Levante side, even on home turf. It appears the Frogs have found the secret to upstaging Atleti, having stolen points from the leaders twice in a week.

After playing out a one-all draw to Simeone’s men last Wednesday, Levante made light work of this same opposition on the weekend, firing two unanswered goals past Oblak in goal. Now, Atletico Madrid are winless in their last two games and the La Liga title race has been blown wide open.

Los Colchoneros must keep their heads down to find a route back on the winning track, as they cannot afford to bottle their huge title-winning chance. Their Champions’ League group stage journey wasn’t entirely plain-sailing but they managed to make second-place in the end.

Two wins and three draws were enough to get Los Rojiblancos over the line to progress to the competition’s knockout phases. Scheduled to take on English side Chelsea in the Round-of-16, Atleti must be at their best to stand a good chance against this formidable opposition.

Tuchel’s men have been far from their utmost best so far, but are still in the running for a top-four finish in the Premier League. Having topped Group G of the Champions League, Chelsea effectively booked a ticket to the competition’s last-16.

Given the experience of their German gaffer in Europe, the Blues will be confident about their chances here. They have enough quality in their ranks to reach the latter stages of the CL and this, surely, will be their ultimate aim. But firstly, they have to get past Simeone’s charges in this upcoming clash.

Atletico Madrid vs Chelsea Predictions

Holding home advantage, Atletico Madrid will be desperate for a win in this fixture ahead of the return leg in London. Though Atleti have been brilliant in their domestic league, they haven’t quite hit top gear on the European front.

But against this unconvincing Chelsea side, Los Colchoneros should have enough about themselves to secure victory. The Blues are yet to get in their groove under new manager Thomas Tuchel, and will likely struggle to trouble Atletico’s defense.

We cannot quite see this blunt Chelsea attack breaching Atleti’s resolute defense. Hence, our safest punt will be backing the hosts to carry the day, whilst keeping a clean sheet in the process.
