Atletico Madrid vs PSV Eindhoven Preview
Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone is expected to make some alterations after the weekend, chiefly in attack with Fernando Torres likely to be dropped in favour of Kevin Gameiro. Alessio Cerci and Augusto Fernández are out injured while Giménez is doubtful. Nico Gaitan may be given a watching brief again and Antoine Griezmann is the danger man in attack.
PSV welcomed back Jeroen Zoet at the weekend and he’s expected to continue in goal here. Jorrit Hendrix, Jurgen Locadia and Siem de Jong are all out injured which somewhat limits the options for the visiting side. Getting the supply to Luuk de Jong is key to their chances and the target man could become isolated if PSV are under the cosh.

Atletico Madrid vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Both of these sides are losing ground in their respective title races but it’s been a different story in the Champions League. Atleti are seeking to preserve their 100% record in this years competition and book their place in the last 16 while PSV will hope to avoid defeat to sneak into the Europa League.
Atletico haven’t lost in 5 matches against PSV Eindhoven in all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in the last 3 meetings with them. They have won their last 4 matches in this competition and will be confident of extending that sequence. Los Colchoneros won the reverse fixture 0-1 and can emulate that result here.
PSV Eindhoven have failed to register a win their last 6 Champions League matches. Alarmingly, they have have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches in the tournament and this looks like a big ask for them. I expect the visitors to make it a competitive game but Atletico Madrid have more quality and should come out on top.
