See where both clubs stand on the live Champions League table.
Atletico Madrid host Bayern Munich on Tuesday 3 November 2026 at the Metropolitano in Madrid. Kick-off is 9:00pm Nigerian time (WAT). It is a League Phase Matchday 4 fixture.
Sports Mole reports Bayern are without Luis Diaz (hamstring), with Michael Olise a doubt after a knee problem against Borussia Dortmund and goalkeepers Manuel Neuer and Jonas Urbig also doubts. Atletico midfielders Johnny Cardoso and Koke are back in training but may not be risked, the same report says. No suspensions were mentioned. Team news can change, so confirm with the line-ups about an hour before kick-off.
Atletico have lost 2-1 to Liverpool, beaten Manchester United 2-0 and drawn 1-1 at Stuttgart in the League Phase. Bayern drew 2-2 with Arsenal at the Allianz Arena on Matchday 3 (see our Bayern vs Arsenal preview).
Ademola Lookman came off the bench at half-time at Stuttgart and set up Julian Alvarez for the equaliser in that 1-1 draw. We have not seen a confirmed fitness update or expected line-up that names him for this game, so treat his role as unconfirmed until the team sheets are out.

Our AI model backs Bayern Munich to win, with 72% model confidence. It is an outcome pick, not a scoreline, and the model says its confidence is never a guarantee.

Atletico return to a ground where they are hard to beat and Alvarez is a live threat, but Bayern carry more attacking quality even with injury worries. Expect a tight, physical match in which one goal could settle it. No result is guaranteed.
