ATLETICO MADRID will be aiming to mark their maiden Champions League home match of the season with a win when they face Feyenoord at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday evening.
Diego Simeone's side were denied an opening night victory at Lazio in the most dramatic of circumstances, as goalkeeper Ivan Provedel headed home with the last touch of the match to pinch a 1-1 draw for the hosts
However, Los Colchoneros have bounced back in admirable style having beaten Real Madrid, Osasuna and Cadiz in their last three La Liga outings.
Switching attention back to continental affairs this midweek, Atleti will set out to secure their first Group E victory at the second attempt against Feyenoord.
Arne Slot's side kicked-off their first Champions League campaign in six years with a relatively comfortable 2-0 win over Celtic in Rotterdam.
The Dutch champions have since annihilated Ajax 4-0 in Amsterdam before earning a 3-1 win over Go Ahead Eagles in the Eredivisie last time out.
Outright Betting
Despite winning just one of their last 11 Champions League home matches, Atletico Madrid go into this game as odds-on 8/13 (Bet 365) favourites.
Feyenoord are as big as 9/2 with Bet 365 to claim top honours in the Spanish capital while a point apiece at the Wanda Metropolitano pays 16/5 with William Hill
Betting Angles
Atletico Madrid are just a little too skinny for my liking here, with Both Teams to Score the more appealing option at 17/20 with William Hill.
Atleti have rightly been lauded for their well-schooled defence under Diego Simeone over the years, however the Spaniards' defensive standards have slipped significantly in recent seasons.
That is evidenced by the fact that Simeone's side have somewhat surprisingly only managed to keep their sheets clean in six of their last 26 Champions League assignments.
What's more, the capital club's backline has been breached in three of their last four La Liga matches, so they could struggle to shutout a Feyenoord side that have been scoring goals by the bucket load this season.
Arne Slot's attack-minded outfit have smashed in league-high 26 goals in seven Eredivisie outings this season so they will fancy their chances of landing a blow against an Atleti side that have a lengthy injury list to contend with.
However, the Dutch giants' aren't exactly renowned for keeping things tight at the back either and their proactive approach should present the hosts with opportunities and spaces to exploit.
It's also worth pointing out that Simeone's have scored in each of their three home games this season and that sequence should continue against a Feyenoord side that have filed just two clean sheets across their last seven fixtures in all competitions.
With all that in mind, backing both sides to find the back of the net at the Wanda Metropolitano on Wednesday night looks the way to go at 17/20 with William Hill.
One player who looks nicely priced to have goal involvement here is Alvaro Morata at 4/5 (Bet 365) in the To Score or Assist Market.
The Spanish striker was suspended for Sunday's contest with Cadiz so he should be fit and firing this midweek as he looks to add his tally of five goals in seven games this term.
