Atletico Madrid will clash heads with Bayern Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 on Tuesday evening at the Bay Arena. The visitors come into the match on the back of a 2-1 victory against Porto in the opening round of the Group B fixture. On the other hand, the German outfit suffered a 1-0 defeat against Club Brugge in their opening section of the UCL group stage.
Atletico Madrid Vs Bayern Leverkusen: Talking Tactics
Diego Simeone would probably utilise the 3-5-2 formation with a three-man defence at the backline. Joao Felix would return to the frontline alongside Alvaro Morata to continue as a two-man strike team while Koke returns to the holding midfield position.
Gerardo Seoane would opt for the 4-2-3-1 formation with Patrick Schick set to lead the charge up top. Callum Hudson-Odoi could feature in the wide areas alongside Moussa Diaby to create enough chances in front of the goal.
