Tottenham Hotspur vs Atletico Madrid Preview

Tottenham Hotspur host Atlético Madrid at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Wednesday evening in the second leg of their Champions League knockout tie, with kick-off at 20:00 GMT. Atlético lead 5-2 on aggregate following the first leg in Madrid on March 10, leaving Spurs needing to score three unanswered goals to force extra time — a turnaround that would rank among the most improbable in the competition’s knockout history, particularly given the form of both sides.

Tottenham arrive in wretched domestic form. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away at Liverpool in the Premier League on March 15. Prior to that came the 5-2 thrashing away at Atlético in the first leg. Earlier in this run, a 3-1 home defeat to Crystal Palace on March 5, a 2-1 defeat away at Fulham on March 1, and a 4-1 home loss to Arsenal on February 22 complete a sequence of one draw and four defeats from the last five across all competitions — as damaging a run as any side in the division right now. In the Champions League this season, Spurs have scored just 19 goals with a goal difference of +7 and 12 conceded — modest numbers for a side that has now conceded five in a single knockout leg.

Atlético Madrid travel to north London in commanding form and in control of this tie. Their most recent result was a 1-0 home win over Getafe in La Liga on March 14. Prior to that came the 5-2 first-leg home win over Spurs on March 10. Earlier in this run, a 3-2 home win over Real Sociedad in the league, a 3-0 defeat away at Barcelona in the Copa del Rey, and a 1-0 win away at Real Oviedo complete a picture of a side that, with the exception of that cup loss, has been dominant. Their Champions League stats reflect a well-oiled operation: 29 goals scored, a goal difference of +8, 16 assists and 21 conceded — a high-scoring, attacking side with enough defensive substance to see out a tie they already have firmly in hand.

The head-to-head record between these clubs strongly favours Atlético, who have won both meetings on record — 5-2 at home in the first leg of this tie on March 10, and 1-0 away at Spurs in a 2016 pre-season fixture.

UK and Irish supporters can watch on TNT Sports 3 and discovery+ from 20:00 GMT on Wednesday. Fans in Spain can tune in on Movistar Liga de Campeones. Viewers in the United States can stream on Paramount+ and DAZN USA. Australian supporters have coverage via Stan Sport.
