Manchester City will hope to seal their spot in the Champions League semi-finals when they face Atletico Madrid this evening.
The Premier League leaders head to Spain holding a slender one-goal advantage after Kevin De Bruyne’s second-half effort in the first leg at the Etihad last week, while they played out a pulsating 2-2 draw with title rivals Liverpool on Sunday.
Atletico fell to a surprise defeat at the weekend, away to Mallorca to leave them on the brink of dropping out of the top four in La Liga.
But Diego Simeone’s side will be urged on by a vociferous backing at the Wanda Metropolitano, albeit shorn of 5,000 fans after a Uefa ruling against the Atleti supporters following discriminatory behaviour in Manchester.

Traveling to the Spanish capital, even with a lead, will not be something City relish. Having failed to put Liverpool away despite creating a number of chances, Pep Guardiola will know his team have to be lethal.

Atletico Madrid vs Man City prediction
The onus is on Los Rojiblancos to get a result in front of their own fans, and they will have a better go at it than back in Manchester. But, City are themselves fearsome on the break and should be able to get the job done with room to spare.
A 2-0 City win.
