With a stacked schedule from across the continent in midweek, there are plenty of eye-catching Champions League betting promotions available.

Ahead of Tuesday’s battle from the Metropolitano, you can find all of the key Atletico Madrid vs Bayern Munich H2H stats here.

Starting with the hosts, while Atletico Madrid might have endured a stuttering start to proceedings when opening up the 2026/27 campaign, Diego Simeone’s men have come roaring back in some style. Last seen over the weekend putting in a professional display as they clinched a 2-0 victory away at Levante, the Spanish heavyweights should find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Collecting a blockbuster Champions League scalp on October 13th as they secured a 2-0 win at home against Manchester United, Simeone’s side are unbeaten in each of their previous nine consecutive appearances across all competitions (eight wins, one draw). Heading into September’s extended international break with a 2-1 victory against arch-rivals Real Madrid, some have billed Atletico as a genuine Champions League dark horse this season.

Shown a Champions League red card away at Stuttgart on October 20th, Danish international Morten Hjulmand will miss out through suspension on Tuesday night. Yet to feature over the past few weeks and still recovering from a muscle injury, Atletico Madrid will once again be without midfield veteran Koke here.

However, making a timely return to Simeone’s squad away at Levante over the weekend, summer recruit and former Tottenham skipper Cristian Romero could be handed a full recall. Eventually forced to stay put in Madrid following a major summer transfer saga, Julian Alvarez will spearhead Atletico’s attack on Tuesday.

As for the visitors, while Vincent Kompany might have been discharged from hospital last week, Bayern Munich will once again be without their talismanic boss when they travel to Spain on Tuesday night. Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at the Allianz over the weekend as they were eventually forced to settle for a rollercoaster 2-2 stalemate against arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund, the reigning Bundesliga champions are still searching for some welcomed stability since returning from September’s extended international break. Last seen in Champions League playing out another 2-2 draw against English heavyweights Arsenal, Bayern Munich are also hoping to find some essential defensive grit. In fact, Tuesday’s guests have mustered just a sole clean sheet from any of their previous nine straight appearances across all competitions.

Suffering a muscle injury last month and missing each of Bayern’s last three appearances across all fronts, Tuesday’s guests will once again be without ex-Liverpool star Luis Diaz. Likewise, yet to feature since returning from September’s international break, Jamal Musiala won’t play any part here.

Officially crowned as the new Ballon d’Or winner in London last week and already notching four goals in his opening three Champions League showdowns so far this tournament, England skipper Harry Kane will lead Bayern’s charge in Madrid. Bagging back-to-back Bundesliga strikes, French international Dayot Upamecano will start at the heart of Munich’s defence.

Suffering last-gasp heartbreak at home against arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund over the weekend as they were eventually forced to settle for a 2-2 stalemate in Munich, Bayern are searching for some much-welded defensive stability. Remarkably mustering just a sole clean sheet from any of their previous nine consecutive appearances across all competitions, the German giants will also meet an Atletico squad who have continued to impress on either side of September’s international break. Likewise, Simeone’s side have also won each of their last nine straight showdowns in front of their own supporters by an aggregate score of 9-1.
