At the heart of what has become an infamous crisis, Tottenham will get their Champions League Round of 16 adventure underway when they travel to Atletico Madrid on Tuesday night.
While Igor Tudor might have only arrived in north London less than a month ago, the Croatian tactician already finds the pressure on his shoulders at a boiling points and Tottenham are firmly scrapping it out in a public relegation scrap.
Smelling what is a golden opportunity to make a heavyweight European statement over the next week, Atletico Madrid have gained a reputation for their success on home soil and they will certainly be confident of claiming a crucial first-leg advantage here.
With all eyes falling on the Spanish capital on Tuesday night, we have taken a glance at some of the most attractive Atletico Madrid vs Tottenham Bet Builder Tips.
Atletico handed a golden opportunity
Eventually dragging themselves to the final of this season’s Copa del Rey last week as they secured a thrilling 4-3 aggregate win against reigning Spanish champions Barcelona, Atletico Madrid are rightfully installed as a standout contender here.
Making an immediate return to winning ways over the weekend as they secured an action-packed 3-2 victory at home against Real Sociedad, Diego Simeone’s men have won four of their last five showdowns across all competitions.
Extending on their Champions League adventure on February 24th as they secured a lively 7-4 aggregate win against Club Brugge, Tuesday’s hosts should also be excited by their recent success on home soil.
Including a famous 4-0 Copa del Rey romp against Barca on February 12th, it should be noted that Simeone’s side have won their last four appearances in front of their own supporters.
Likewise, notching a staggering 15 goals in those four consecutive home victories, Atletico Madrid will certainly be looking to make a major European statement on Tuesday night.

Tottenham’s public nightmare
While Tottenham might have ended their 17-year wait for a piece of silverware last season as they were crowned Europa League champions, Spurs suddenly find themselves at the heart of an infamous relegation scrap.
Putting in another nightmare performance last time out as they slumped to a 3-1 drumming at home against Crystal Palace, the pressure on Tudor’s shoulders has already reached a boiling point.
With the ex-Juventus boss getting his north London tenure underway with a 4-1 drumming against arch-rivals Arsenal on February 22nd, Spurs have lost all of their previous five straight appearances by an aggregate score of 13-4.
Remarkably failing to claim a single victory since opening the New Year, Tuesday’s guests now hold just a one-point buffer from slipping into the Premier League’s relegation zone.
Showing a string of glaring defensive issues and dealing with a stacked injury list, Spurs should be bracing themselves for another stern examination when they travel to Madrid in midweek.

Sorloth’s sensational run of form
While January recruit Ademola Lookman might have hit the ground running since completing a permanent switch from Atalanta, Alexander Sorloth has quickly transformed into Atletico’s ultimate attacking talisman.
Spearheading Simeone’s Champions League charge last month and notching a sensational hat-trick against Club Brugge on February 24th, the Norwegian international will once again play a leading role here.
Likewise, bagging a 10th La Liga strike of the season during Atletico’s 3-2 victory against Real Sociedad over the weekend, Sorloth has now notched six goals in his last five appearances across all competitions.
It should also be noted, the one-time Crystal Palace misfit has registered six direct goal contributions in his nine Champions League appearances this season (five goals, one assist).
Meeting a leaky Tottenham defence who have remarkably now shipped at least a pair of goals in 10 of their last 12 matchups across all competitions, Sorloth will be confident of stealing all the headlines in midweek.
