Atletico Madrid are set to face Club Brugge KV in the second leg of their 2025-26 UEFA Champions League playoff tie. The decisive encounter will take place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium. Both sides will be aiming to secure a place in the next round in what promises to be a high-stakes clash.

Team Analysis:
Atletico Madrid struggled for consistency in the first leg, showing promise in the opening half before defensive lapses cost them control of the game. Back at home, Diego Simeone’s side will aim to correct those mistakes and use the familiar surroundings to their advantage. Club Brugge, meanwhile, face a tougher challenge away from home and will need a well-prepared strategy to repeat their comeback performance under increased pressure.

Atletico Madrid will be without Nicolas Gonzalez and Pablo Barrios as both players are sidelined through injury. Their absence reduces options in key areas ahead of the match. Club Brugge could also face selection concerns, with Lynnt Audoor and Dani van den Heuvel doubtful due to fitness problems.

The upcoming clash between the two sides is expected to be intense and highly competitive. Atletico Madrid appear to have the upper hand heading into the match. They are favored to secure a victory over Club Brugge in this UEFA Champions League playoff encounter.

Predicted Result: Atlético Madrid 3-2 Club Brugge.
