The Champions League last 16 gets underway tonight, with a blockbuster Madrid derby at the Bernabeu taking top billing,
Atletico head into the game in higher spirits after beating Bilbao at the weekend to jump above Real, who lost on the road at Betis.
Carlo Ancelotti's side were at their thrilling best in the last round as they crushed Manchester City in the play-off round.
But Atletico's defence won't be as easy to cut through and Diego Simeone is out for revenge after losing two Champions League Finals to their rivals from across the city.
Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid top betting tips
This is a tough one to call but BoyleSports make Real Madrid their 20/23 favourites with home advantage and have Atletico as 3/1 outsiders.
Both meetings in La Liga have ended in draws this season so there could be some value in backing the half-time stalemate at 11/10.
I'd expect Atletico to sit back and hit on the break so that could lead to the corner count racking up for Real. Over 6.5 corners for Ancelotti's side pays 8/5 at BoyleSports while Real -2.5 in the corner handicap looks more appealing at 5/4.
Simeone's defence will try to knock Kylian Mbappe out of his stride so the 17/10 on offer at Betfair for the Frenchman to be fouled over 1.5 times also looks good.
Club Brugge vs Aston Villa top betting tips
Aston Villa will fancy their chances of getting past Club Brugge over two legs and the bookies reckon they will get the job done, with BoyleSports pricing them at just 1/3 to qualify.
But tonight's first leg in Belgium could be tricky for Unai Emery's men after they lost 1-0 to Brugge on the road in the league phase.
Brugge upset the odds against Atalanta in the last round and Villa are missing a few players at the back so the home win tonight stands a chance at 15/8 with BoyleSports.
It should be tight though and the half-time draw appeals again at 21/20 while backing most goals to come after the break is evens.
The midfield battle will be key and a double on John McGinn and Ardon Jashari committing over 0.5 fouls pays 395/100 at Bet365.
PSV Eindhoven v Arsenal top betting tips
Arsenal's Premier League title bid has fallen apart in the last few weeks so the Champions League represents the last chance to salvage something from their season.
BoyleSports make the Gunners 1/5 hot favourites to see off PSV Eindhoven over two legs but those odds look a bit off based on recent displays from Mikel Arteta's men.
Arsenal have drawn a blank in their last two games so I'd be surprised if tonight's first leg in Eindhoven was a thriller.
Under 2.5 goals pays just 4/5 at BoyleSports but betting against BTTS is a better price at evens.
The Dutch side had 10 shots on target in their last Euro game against Juventus so there could be some value in backing David Raya for over 3.5 saves tonight at 13/8 with SkyBet.
Borussia Dortmund v Lille top betting tips
The other Champions League game tonight should be a good watch as Dortmund look to pile on the pain for Lille after their 4-1 weekend battering by PSG in Ligue 1.
It has been a disappointing season for Borussia in the Bundesliga but they've been playing well in Europe and saw off Sporting Lisbon in the play-off round.
Nobody has scored more goals than Serhou Guirassy in this season's Champions League, with the Dortmund striker netting 10 times. He looks decent value at 11/10 for a goal against a Lille defence who shipped four at the weekend.

Red card appeals in this game, might be athletico’s manager but I guess that doesn’t count for betting purposes.
If it was a one off game I’d take real but Fancy athletico over 2 legs.
1-1 today.
Brugge are a big price at home.
They are, don’t think any of the favourites will win tonight.

Strathspey Thistle vs Buckie Thistle
Over 3.5,4.0 Asian goal line @ 1/1 (bet365)
Fraserburgh vs Rothes
Over 3.5,4.0 Asian goal line @ 19/20 (bet365)
Had a poor weekend with a serious lack of cards so hopefully can make amends here. Think these have been priced up very generously. The two worst teams in the league in Strathspey ( conceded 82 goals in 23 games ) and Rothes ( conceded 94 goals in 25 games ).
Buckie thistle are having a poor season by their standards and have a bit of player turnover on the horizon in the summer but have had some decent results in the last couple of weeks and if they fancy this could cover the goal line themselves. They put 8 past Strathspey at the start of the season and I have always pointed out goals for games involving Strathspey when they come up against any of the better teams in the league. Bookies don’t tend to list these games and when they do I have seen the goal line set at around 5/6 fairly often.
Rothes have managed to take the mantle off Strathspey this season as whipping boys which is some going and have shipped at least 3 goals in every game since the turn of the year. If I remember correctly Inverurie came from behind with ten men to beat Rothes at the weekend which kind of sums Rothes up. They come up against a decent Fraserburgh side and this has the potential to be a proper going over. They put 8 past them back in September so the line being set where it is I am all over. Fraserburgh are strong at home and have only lost 1 game in the last twelve months, failing to score in only one game.
I haven’t split these into Naps etc as I will be honest I have a Nap stake on both. It isn’t often you get the two bottom teams, when playing decent opponents, listed at the same time with such decent odds so I will hope for the best and fingers crossed the bookies have this wrong. Worst comes to it I would be extremely surprised to see these games finish with any less than 4 goals.
Over 4.5mgs is priced at 13/8 in each game which is also well worth a look for singles and I will have a double of the two of them seeing 5 goals in each game, and wouldn’t put anyone off taking the Asian line as a double either. I have a funny feeling these games won’t kick off at these odds 👍
Small stakes
Asian line double @ 3/1 (bet365)
Over 4.5mgs double @ 5.9/1 (bet365)
Good luck 🤞
