Atlético de Madrid need the victory against PSV to recover from their bad streak in La Liga, where they lost their last two matches (against Barça and Athletic). The Colchonero team will look for the three points to maintain their options of finishing among the top eight in the league and thus obtain direct qualification for the round of 16, without having to play the round of 16. It won’t be easy for them, since their rival, PSV Eindhoven, is in great form: they are the only leader of the Dutch league and in their last Champions League match they scored four goals against Liverpool.
