Qarabag can stay in touch in Madrid
BT Sport Extra, 7.45pm Tuesday
Atletico Madrid are red-hot favourites to get their first win of the group stage and should oblige although it might not be plain sailing against Qarabag, who held them to a 0-0 draw 13 days ago.
Diego Simeone’s side desperately need a victory but are having problems settling into life at their new home the Wanda Metropolitano, where they have failed to win any of their last three matches.

Qarabag will have taken a lot of confidence from their performance on matchday three when they achieved a point despite the 75th-minute dismissal of Dino Ndlovu.
Atletico had more clear-cut chances in Baku but it was a reasonably balanced game with the Spanish side winning the shot count 10-8.
The return match should also be fairly competitive and Qarabag are value in receipt of a 2.5-goal Asian handicap start.
Recommendation
Qarabag +2.5 on Asian handicap
