Bayer Leverkusen
In the 2001-2002 season was Bayer Leverkusen losing finalist in the Champions League, but since then did the Germans to put any more time for the quarterfinals of the European kampioenenbal. With a diptych against Atletico Madrid coach Schmidt’s team gets another chance at rehabilitation. Bayer Leverkusen anyway still has a bone to pick with the Spaniards, because two years ago the Germans dug in the eighth finals after penalty shootout defeat.
The chances of Bayer Leverkusen this time it will emerge from the battle seems small, for a provisional eighth place in the Bundesliga, the club is working on a mediocre season. The team had been laid a good rehearsal, because last weekend Augsburg was 1-3 on the knee. Chicharito Hernandez was with two goals in good form. The Mexican was standing almost four months dry, but with five goals in his last three games just in time to get the right shape. He especially since Calhanoglu the rest of the season can write on his stomach, the German hope in dark days. The Turkish midfielder was suspended for four months on his pants because of breach of contract in 2011. Bayer Leverkusen has a reputation, as the team is in a European context, all eight home games in a row unbeaten. This season, the Germans were so upright in their own BayArena, though they knew with Tottenham Hotspur, CSKA Moscow and AS Monaco have a relatively easy draw.
Probable lineup Bayer Leverkusen
Leno; Wendell Dragovic, Toprak, Henrichs; Brandt, Aranguiz, Baumgartlinger, Kampl; Kiessling, Hernandez
Atletico Madrid
The season of Atletico Madrid is similar to that of Bayer Leverkusen. The private Primera Division, the Spanish football this year may not impress, but in Europe it is the team of coach Simeone much for the wind. In a group with Bayern Munich, PSV and Rostov MadrileƱos demanded by fifteen points convincingly to the group profit. Under Diego Simeone have Los Colchoneros in Europe with two finals in the Champions League emerged as true cupfighters. In both finals turned townsman annex archrival Real Madrid incidentally just too large a size.
The bookies see Atletico Madrid as the big favorite for a spot in the next round and that’s obviously logical. From almost all statistics show that Atletico Madrid is working on a more European season as Bayer Leverkusen. The Spaniards have more shots on goal (96 to 75), more challenges (327 to 280), have a percentage gezie more good passes (85 percent vs. 76 percent) and had more possession (197 minutes to 165 minutes). Only in terms of captured balls Atletico Madrid trumped by the Germans (383 against 345).
Atletico Madrid takes domestically a difficult season, but starts in recent weeks slowly but surely something to regroup. The red-whites played very deserving of their lost diptych against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey and managed to win their last three league matches one by one. Flexible however it is still not as both against Celta Vigo (3-2) as last weekend against Sporting Gijon (1-4) MadrileƱos had needed late goals to secure victory. That intransigence and continue to fight to the bitter end, however, you might consider as a quality.
Probable lineup Atletico Madrid
Moya; Luis Hernandez, Goddess, Savic, Vrsaljko; Carrasco, Gabi, Saul, Koke; Gameiro, Griezmann
