ATL vs CHE live: ATL vs CHE Dream11 match preview

Despite having a fantastic start to their LaLiga campaign, Diego Simeone’s men have faltered in recent outings as they head into their UCL class following an astonishing defeat against Levante. However, the Madrid outfit will be aiming to shrug off their loss and get back to their previous best which saw them end the Champions League group stage by occupying the second spot in Group A with Bayern Munich on top. However, the Argentine manager faces a tough opposition in Chelsea who have been pretty solid defensively in their recent games and will be a tough nut to crack for the Spanish outfit especially given how they are currently playing their home leg at a neutral venue.

The Blues of London entered the Round of 16 stages after topping Group E with 14 points with Sevilla ending up at the second spot. Despite going unbeaten in their last eight matches, Chelsea's new boss Thomas Tuchel now face a mammoth task at hand and will have to oversee a tough run of fixtures starting with their UCL clash against Atletico Madrid.

Chelsea will miss the services of veteran defender Thiago Silva as he remains sidelined due to a muscle injury. Atletico Madrid will also be without Jose Gimenez who has been a mainstay in the team's defence. We expect the match to be a thrilling encounter and given the teams' current form, Chelsea are expected to edge out a narrow win on Tuesday.
