BAYER LEVERKUSEN v ATLETICO MADRID BETTING PREVIEW
Leverkusen are in sixth spot in the Bundesliga with 33 points from 22 games. Two defeats in a row to Werder and Wolfsburg dramaticallly damaged their top 4 hopes, although the Werkself at least ended their losing run with a draw against Augsburg. The 5-4 loss to Wolfsburg was their first seasonal defeat at home in the league. In the Champions League group stage, they finished as runners up to Monaco with Zenit and Benfica missing out.The German team will be without the banned defender Omer Toprak, while Tin Jedvaj and Lars Bender are both doubtful. Emir Spahic will partner Kyriakos Papadopoulos at the heart of the defence. Josip Drmic may spearhead the attack after netting at the weekend, meaning Stefan Kießling would be forced to settle for a place on the bench.
Atletico Madrid hammered Almeria at the weekend though they are still 7 points behind rivals Real Madrid in the quest to defend their La Liga crown.
The Colchoneros opped their group ahead of Juve, recovering from losing 3-2 at Olympiakos on Matchday 1 to reel off four wins before finishing up with a 0-0 away draw against Juventus
Diego Simeone has no pressing injury concerns ahead of this match. Arda Turan and Raul Garcia both returned from suspension against Almeria and the latter is likely to be recalled to the starting line-up. Mandzukic and Griezmann are expected to keep their places up front while Koke remains sidelined and Jose Jimenez is a doubt.
Atletico have have kept a clean sheet in their last five Champions League games. The last time that these two sides met was in the group stages of the 2010-11 Europa League, with both matches ending in 1-1 draws. Leverkusen have never won a last 16 tie in the history of this competition
