Prediction
- Atletico hold the upper hand following their 1-0 win in Milan last time out. Los Rojiblancos continued their title charge with a 2-0 away win at Celta at the weekend and will be expected to progress to the next round of the competition on Tuesday.
- Milan face an uphill task to progress against an Atletico side that has lost just the once in all competitions at home this season. Clarence Seedorf though can call upon the services of Mario Balotelli, who's expected to take his place in the starting XI.
- However, the hosts will be confident of securing their place in the next round, though another tight game is expected.
