Atletico Madrid

PSV Eindhoven are flying at the moment but face a tough test in the UEFA Champions League as Atletico Madrid come calling.

The Dutch giants got off to the worst possible start in Europe as they lost 3-1 at home to Belgian side Union Saint-Gilloise, busting the coupon of Slips Tips and plenty of other punters.

But PSV have since gone 14 games unbeaten in all competitions, a run that has included epic European victories over Napoli and Liverpool.

Peter Bosz's side netted 10 times across those two games but should find Diego Simeone's Atletico side a tougher nut to crack.

The Madrid giants also got off to a poor start in Europe, losing two of their first three fixtures, but have responded with wins over Union Saint-Gilloise and Inter Milan.

Atletico Madrid's form has dipped domestically, with successive defeats to Barcelona and Athletic Bilbao, so Simone will desperate to claim a morale-boosting win in Eindhoven.

How the bookies view it: PSV too big at 11/5

With PSV in such impressive form, I'm surprised to see them as big as 11/5 with Bet365 for a win. Atletico Madrid are 6/5 favourites at 888Sport and the draw pays 14/5 with Paddy Power.

Head to head: Atletico in command

Atletico Madrid have been a bogey team for PSV, with the Spanish side unbeaten across their six meetings. Four of those games have ended in wins, including a 1-0 Champions League victory on their last visit to Eindhoven in 2016.

Players to watch: Slick Saibari's a dangerman

PSV's Ismael Saibari has been in excellent form for club and country this season, with the Moroccan netting 13 times. He's 15/8 at Betfred for another goal here and 7/5 with Bet365 for over 1.5 efforts on target.

Julian Alvarez is the main man up front for Atletico Madrid and the Argentinian is already on double figures this season. He has nine goals from his last 10 Champions League appearances and is 5/4 at Betfred to add to that tally.

Probable line-ups

Veteran winger Ivan Perisic was injured for PSV in their last Champions League clash with Liverpool and is set to miss out again along with Ruben Van Bommel and Allasane Plea.

Atletico could be without Jose Gimenez, Marcos Alonso, Alex Baena, Johnny Cardoso and Ilias Kostis.

PSV Eindoven: Kovar, Salah-Eddine, Gasiorowski, Dest, M Junior, Schouten, Til, Veerman, Pepi, Man, Saibari.

Atletico Madrid: Oblak, Ruggeri, Lenglet, Molina, Hancko, Gallagher, Barrios, Koke, Simeone, Griezmann, Alvarez.

Anything else catch the eye?

PSV Eindoven have been great entertainers in this season's Champions League, scoring 13 times and conceding eight goals across their five games.

Atletico are renowned for having a mean defence but they've shipped 10 goals in Europe so far and have relied on their attack to get over the line, scoring 12 times.

So the stats point towards another cracker but combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals only pays 5/6 with William Hill. Over 1.5 first-half goals offers a bit more value at 5/4 with Coral.

Think both sides will find the net? Our BTTS Masterclass explains how to spot the fixtures where goals are a given.

Four of PSV'S five Champions League games have hit double figures for corners so that's another good angle. But I've yet to any corner markets so far.

PSV crushed a strong Napoli side in Eindhoven so they could get a bit of joy here. Backing the Dutch side to win either half pays evens at BOYLE Sports.

This should be an open game and a double on wingers Dennis Man and Giuliano Simeone having a shot on target pays 17/10 at Bet365.
