Preview: Atletico Madrid vs Club Brugge Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | UEFA Champions League 2025-26 Playoffs second leg

The previous outing between these clubs ended in a 3-3 draw.

Atletico Madrid are now going to lock horns with Club Brugge KV for their second-leg playoff contest of the 2025-26 UEFA Champions League. This time, these teams will square off at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano stadium.

The Diego Simeone-led side didn’t look very comfortable during the first leg, but they now have a chance to secure a win. They looked good in the first half, but their defensive work was poor in the second half. Atletico de Madrid will be keen to avoid the mistakes this time around, and being at home will surely make things a bit more comfortable.

Club Brugge KV will be away from home for their UEFA Champions League fixture this time around, and it is going to keep them under pressure from the start. They staged a comeback in the first leg against Atleti, but things won’t be easy this time around. Blauw-Zwart will be eager to work on their strategy to outplay their opponents.
