Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich 1-0 (2015/2016 Champions League)
Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid Team News
Thomas Muller is widely expected to return to the starting line-up after coming as a substitute in the first leg. Pep Guardiola rested his key players in a 1-1 draw with Borussia M’gladbach, but he is going to field the best possible side against Atletico Madrid. Franck Ribery is a major doubt and he will be assessed on the match day, but Arjen Robben and Holger Badstuber remain in the recovery room. Jerome Boateng has overcome his injury and he could play some part in Tuesday’s Champions League game.
Injured: Arjen Robben (3/2), Holger Badstuber (1/0)
Doubtful: Franck Ribery (6/0)
Suspended: None
Diego Godin and Yannick Ferreira-Carrasco have overcome their respective injuries and the duo is likely to be recalled to the starting line-up. Midfielder Tiago Mendes remains on the sidelines with injury. Coach Diego Simeone is likely to stick to the 4-4-2 formation.
Injured: Tiago Mendes (5/0)
Doubtful: None
Suspended: None

Bayern Munich vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Bayern Munich need to record a big win over Atletico Madrid if they are to make it to the Champions League final. The mighty Bavarians are a real force to be reckoned with at home and despite the fact that the La Liga side have been in a splendid form of late, I am tempted to put my money on the Bundesliga champions. Bayern Munich are likely to go all guns blazing at los Rojiblancos and they are likely to emerge triumphant in the Champions League semi-final, return leg.
