The Madrid derby is perfectly poised heading into the second leg of their Champions League blockbuster as Atletico bid to overturn a 2-1 deficit back on home soil at the Wanda Metropolitano tonight.
That first-leg loss at the Bernabeu was harsh on Diego Simeone's men as they were the better side for long spells and did a great job of keeping Kylian Mbappe quiet.
But Real have so much quality going forward that they can punish any lapses in concentration and that's what happened as Brahim Diaz gave them a precious advantage.
So it should be a fascinating second leg as the European champions look to hold on to their crown.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Madrid top betting tips
There wasn't much aggro in the first leg as the ref flashed just one card, to Real goal hero Diaz. But I'd imagine tonight's game will be more like a derby battle with the tie being decided.
Over 52.5 booking points pays 6/5 with Betfred while midfield adversaries Rodrigo De Paul and Jude Bellingham are 5/2 and 3/1 respectively at BoyleSports to pick up a card. Doubling those two up pays 13/1 while a red card in the game is priced 3/1 at Bet365.
While Mbappe was quiet in the first leg, he's always a huge threat and a weekend goal against Rayo Vallecano took his tally for the season to 29. The Frenchman is 6/4 for anytime scorer at BoyleSports and that looks decent value.
Aston Villa vs Club Brugge top betting tips
Club Brugge have a mountain to climb in the Midlands tonight after losing 3-1 at home to Aston Villa in the first leg of their Champions League last-16 tie..
Last week's loss was harsh on the Belgians as they probably deserved a draw at least and were undone by two late goals,
They need to have a go now at Villa Park so tonight's game should be a decent watch. Combining BTTS with over 2.5 goals pays 21/20 and that looks worth a punt.
Wonderboy Chemsdine Talbi will be a threat to Villa and he's 17/10 at Ladbrokes just to have an effort on target, which offers a bit of value.
Lille vs Borussia Dortmund top betting tips
Lille will fancy their chances of knocking last year's runners-up out as they host Borussia Dortmund tonight with their last-16 tie poised at 1-1.
Bruno Genesio's men are unbeaten at home in Europe this season and claimed a memorable 1-0 win over Real Madrid in the league phase.
BoyleSports price both sides at 20/23 to qualify and I reckon Lille might just have the edge. Backing them to win in normal time boosts the odds to 13/8.
With the tie level at 1-1 this one could be cagey to begin with so try going for most goals after the break, which pays evens.
Arsenal vs PSV Eindhoven top betting tips
Arsenal can relax tonight having done the hard work with last week's thumping 7-1 win over PSV Eindhoven in the Netherlands.
But Mikel Arteta will still want to put on a show tonight as he has taken a bit of heat after Sunday's 1-1 draw at Old Trafford saw the Gunners fall 15 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
It's hard to tell what kind of sides both managers will field for what is a dead rubber. The best option is probably betting against cards and under 27.5 booking points pays 11/10 at Betfred.
Raheem Sterling should get a rare runout for Arsenal and the winger is 21/20 at Bet365 to either score or assist.

Don’t come on here much due to busy schedule
Seems to have gone quiter on here though?
indeed guess its more complicated to log in
What happened to Liverpool yesterday, Macca?
They did an Arsenal and didn’t show up.
Thought PSG changed tactics and played counter attack. We need a good summer transfer window, so we change it up when players get tired. Slot doesn’t seem to trust certain players in the squad, so hopefully fsg will release a good amount for him to improve the team
It is rumoured that Liverpool are going to be spending money this summer, they have plenty spent nothing last couple of windows, I though Jota struggled last night.
Let’s hope so Macca. Think we should sign Cunha and Klivert and sell Jota because he is always injured, Nunez just hasn’t worked out with him and Diaz because he has no end product. Hopefully the new transfer committee will make some great signings like they did last time, ie Salah, Mane etc
