Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich lands at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano on Tuesday night, and with both sides stuttering in the Champions League, neither can afford another shrug.
Atletico arrive unbeaten in nine across all competitions, yet Diego Simeone's side sit 16th in the Champions League table. The domestic swagger has not quite travelled.
Bayern are unbeaten in 19 across all competitions, though draws with Viking and Arsenal have stalled them in Europe. Aaron Danks remains in the dugout while Vincent Kompany recovers.
Bayern sit 14th, just a point above their hosts, so this is a fixture where another draw does neither side many favours.
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Form
Atletico are flying in La Liga. A home win over Levante at the weekend, with Alejandro Grimaldo and Giuliano Simeone on target, made it nine unbeaten across all competitions, and they boast the division's meanest defence with eight conceded. Europe has been stickier. Julián Alvarez rescued a draw at Stuttgart, but the table says there is work to do.
Bayern have not lost in 19 across all competitions, but the wins have dried up. A Bundesliga draw with Borussia Dortmund followed Champions League stalemates with Viking and Arsenal. Harry Kane and Alphonso Davies both scored against Arsenal, and goals are not the issue. The back door is.

Atletico Madrid
Diego Simeone is without Johnny Cardoso through injury and Morten Hjulmand through suspension, so Marcos Llorente and Pablo Barrios should run the engine room in the probable XI. Up top, Julián Alvarez is set to partner Ademola Lookman, with Jan Oblak behind a back four that includes Dávid Hancko.
Bayern Munich
The Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich lineups are shaped by a long Bayern injury list, with Jamal Musiala, Luis Díaz and Serge Gnabry all ruled out and Manuel Neuer doubtful. Sven Ulreich is in line to deputise in goal, while Harry Kane leads the line in a probable 4-2-3-1.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-2 Bayern Munich. Bayern edge the Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich betting odds at 11/8 (Coral), and Harry Kane is the best finisher on the pitch, but Atletico rarely fire blanks at home in this competition and Bayern's defence has been leaky on its travels. Neither back line looks sturdy enough to keep the other out, so we are siding with goals at both ends and a share of the spoils.
Best Bets
Dávid Hancko to make over 2.5 tackles in the Player Tackles market. The Atletico centre-back should be busy against Bayern's possession-heavy, line-breaking attack. Bayern have averaged 59% possession in previous meetings with Atletico, so Hancko should be hauled into duels all night. Our projections rate this as a 56% shot, comfortably above the bookmakers' implied probability.
Julián Alvarez to score at any time in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He is expected to start up front for Atletico in a match the model projects to have goals at both ends. Alvarez has 26 Champions League goals and scored Atletico's equaliser at Stuttgart last time out. Bayern have shipped a goal in 17 of the previous 18 away matches they have played in this competition, so the forward should get his looks.
Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Bet Builder
Our Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich bet builder tips lean entirely on Bayern's attack, with Harry Kane to score and shoot plenty, plus Bayern goals and corners.
Harry Kane to score anytime. He has scored in 3 of his last 3 Champions League appearances, and Atletico's centre-backs will see plenty of him.
Harry Kane over 3.5 shots. Kane has attempted 4+ shots in 3 of his last 3 Champions League appearances, and Bayern's volume means he rarely goes quiet.
Bayern Munich over 1.5 goals. Bayern's three most recent Champions League outings have all brought them 2+ goals, and Atletico have been far less stubborn in Europe.
Bayern Munich over 5.5 corners. Bayern have racked up 6+ corners in four of the five most recent Champions League meetings with Atletico, and their possession game should pin the hosts back.
At the time of writing, this bet builder pays a best price of 7/1 and is as short as 25/4 elsewhere.

Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich Talking Points
The headline act is Harry Kane, who has scored in his last ten Champions League appearances and could equal Cristiano Ronaldo's all-time record of scoring in 11 straight European Cup or Champions League matches. Doing it against Simeone's side would be some statement, given how tight they have been domestically. Aaron Danks has made it clear Bayern will stick with their high-possession, aggressive pressing approach without Vincent Kompany, which leaves space in behind for Julián Alvarez and Ademola Lookman and keeps the Atletico back line on the front foot defensively. That is exactly why our Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich best bets back Dávid Hancko to be busy and Alvarez to score.
