Predicitions for this weeks games blues?

I am going for a boring 0-0 or 1-0 to Atletico tonight.

Madrid v Bayern being a 2-1 to Madrid.
 
Atletico 2-1
Bayern 2-2

Hope Chelsea either win or lose big to focus on Sunday more
 
Cant call it tonight, think Atletico will nick it but Chelsea are one of the few teams who can match them physically.

Atletico 1 - 0 Chelsea

Madrid 1 - 2 Bayern
 
I definitely see tonights game as being a potential let down as both sides like to be the underdog and play pragmatic counter attacking football, what will will edge it for Atletico though is their pressing and the fact they have a striker who can score goals.

No Hazard for Chelsea as well and I think Eto'o is out.

have a feeling bayern will bottle it tomorrow

Bayern's defence could get absolutely destroyed by Bale and Ronaldo if they are not careful but I still think they will come through it in the end.

If anyone will bottle the tie it will be Madrid with the pressure of La Decima on their shoulders.
 
I think Chelsea will be a little better drilled tonight and accept that Atletico will batter them if they try to go toe to toe in a possession game. They will sit deep and counter attack and I think they can get something out of it. Atletico have a lot on their plate and I don't think they will have enough to win through. Whilst talented - they're now expected to win this one and that might prove difficult. Mourinho will accept a 0-0 so I think that is what it will be. Torres could step things up which would be nice, especially if he carries that into the game at Anfield. I think, with Atletico needing to play full strength in La Liga, Mourinho will only make minor changes ahead of their trip to Anfield. Hazard has been a huge loss for them.
