Against any other team, Atletico would be confident of progressing to the quarter finals, but not against Juventus, who have dropped points in only 3 of their home games this season and in Ronaldo, Mandzukic and Dybala pose one of the most potent strike forces. But Atleti still possess one of the meanest defences of all Europe and would be on a high after earlier defeating the hosts 2-0.

For Juventus, Sami Khedira, Cuadrado and Douglas Costa all miss due to injuries and Alex Sandro is suspended having picked his third yellow of the competition. For Atletico problem arises at the left back position as both Lucas Hernandez and Felipe Luis are injured while Costa and Partey are suspended, though Morata could be picked against his former club.

Juventus have their task cut out against Atletico as they have kept a clean sheet against Juventus in their last 3 games in all competitions and are undefeated in 10 of their last 11 matches in UCL. Still underestimating a team who has the likes of Ronaldo and Dybala would be a huge mistake on part of Simeone and his team.
