The first match in Spain ended in a 2-5 rout of Spurs. Atlético Madrid confirmed their reputation as a team capable of not only destruction but also attacking with gusto. However, at home, Tottenham must play aggressively to recover or at least to guarantee open play. Both teams have scored a lot in recent games: the Londoners have exceeded the total in four of their five matches, while the "mattress makers" have scored in four consecutive matches, including three goals against Real Sociedad.
Tottenham's defensive vulnerabilities (they've conceded 15 goals in five games) give the visitors excellent chances to score away from home. Meanwhile, Atlético Madrid have already shown in this Champions League that they can concede even to underdogs, and the hosts' desire to save the match will expose their backline. Betting on both teams to score looks more reliable than trying to predict the winner of this shootout.
Tottenham need to score at least three times to go all in, and Atletico are too good on the counter-attack to keep a clean sheet.
